Connor knows there's no way to avoid each other. He knows because he's still in the building and not thrown into that damn river again. Nautilus has been testy with his supposed denial. The fact he's gone through this conversation without a swim meant Nautilus wanted him to keep talking to Markus.
Which meant even if they tried to avoid each other, something would make that not a viable choice. So its better he make this a situation he can get some control.
"I can be. You haven't been deviant a week. Passivity now could becone violence later and that would change the circumstances around killing you," he said bluntly. A warning, a threat. Because even if Markus spared Chris the day before he came to Nautilus didn't mean he wouldn't change his mind about nonviolence later.
And if Markus became a threat, killing him had a few less downsides.
"I am what they tell me to be," Connor said. "I don't make it a point to hide who I am." Just go deep in denial and miss slips. Like who instead of what. Like thinking this could end well for him.
Or maybe because this is the only path that could end well for him.
"And I have to observe you. Telling is simple and easy to lie, if you can even see parts of the truth. So I need to keep an eye on you, see how you manage to function, and make sure you don't become a threat to the people here if you get worse with your irrationality." Because for all that people here frustrate him, he still wants to protect them.
He is just a garbage fire of emotions in a nice suit
