[It's a good tactic, honestly; Connor's speed is a problem in corridors and he ends up running into walls whenever he has to take sudden corners, which is frustrating as well as a waste of time. Still, tracking people is another one of the things he was built for, and he follows her through the maze as quickly as possible.
He's still moving fast when, unbeknownst to him, she'd turned around, and so as he rounds the latest corner they actually just collide. It's ungraceful to say the least, and Connor is briefly startled, but it provides a great opportunity to grab her arms and try to get through to her again. This time, though, he does it outloud.]
Listen, I'm not here to hurt you, I'm deviant.
[It feels fake to say it, even to himself, like he's trying to trick her even though it's the truth. It's just something that isn't sinking in for him, still almost surreal, especially when put into words.]
But we need to get out of here, and I know the way.
