Connor kind of feels bad about upsetting the dog. Ever since the whole bite thing people's dogs have been oddly friendly to him. You would think attracting dogs for pets would be a great secondary mutation but it's kind of annoying and he's kind of #overit. But he is glad to see Eames understands the issue. He's been around much longer than Connor has, so having that kind of back up is infinitely comforting.
"Midnight and the Vampires," Connor frowns. A couple months ago he would've said a Midnight-Vampire alliance was a good thing. But he's not a fan of Harris and he's not a fan of being treated like a dog, so. "The only real viable options for Enfield seem to be getting taken by Sylvia or a surprise upset by the Vampires - and neither of them needs any more territory to their name."
He swirls around the tea in his cup and then takes a drink. "But suppose there was a third option. Forgetting factions for a moment and just looking at balance of power. She's ostensibly got all the Daybreak, Redbright, and Night Council territories in her pocket. They might look different on paper, but over half of London is basically hers."
But it's more than that, too, really, there's still a lot of left over problems from the election. "I'd wager a guess that if the push from the election hadn't come, she'd have a much tighter hold over the whole of it anyway. She's just having to play politics for now. But until what? And the only other option anyone's come up with is this other mayor of London bullshit; we're trading one horrible leader for another. Great."
