((For Jelani))

After his last time in the Nexus, Connor's looking a little worse for wear again. After a brief respite, he's back to sleeping badly. Sometimes he dreams he can see a himself in happy family gatherings, but he's always standing outside the window, in the cold or worse. He usually wakes himself beating his fists against dream-glass.

He really doesn't have anywhere else to go, though, except here and back to his own world. So he lurks. He's found one of the edge places, where Nexus dissolves into a patch of wilderness. So he sits, and gives the crowds a brooding stare, watching from the outside yet again.

It's a nice day in the Nexus today, a day for just bumming around and enjoy things. And, a day for shopping. Anything can be found in the Nexus, but the best things are often found off the beaten track. Not far away from where Connor sits there's a shop that somehow manages to look dusty even from the outside. It's one of those places where you can find things you wouldn't even think of.

Out from this shop steps the young halfbreed, with a long bundle on her shoulder, something long and thin wrapped up in cloth. She's toned down the biker chick-look today, in favor for sneakers and tanktop. Her jeans are no less ripped than last time, but at least they're a looser and more comfortable fit. She stands outside the shop long enough to light up a cancer stick. But just when she's about to wander off, she looks around and spots Connor sitting by his own. She lights up in a smile and waves, and - of course - comes walking up to him without a thought that maybe he wants to be alone.
