[Something unsatisfactory hangs in the air between them, Connor observant enough to know that something still sticks in Hank's mind. That it isn't wiped away so cleanly by an apology from either party.
He wanted the man to be safe. That should be proof enough of his worry, if that's the single grain of truth that Hank is trying so hard to loosen from Connor's tight grip on how he presents his wording, always so carefully instructed. But unaware that's what Hank is fishing for, it goes unspoken.]
I'm sorry, Lieutenant- [It's going to be a dance of apologies at this rate, but such is Connor's nature if he perceives it as a mistake on his end.] Did I say or do something that's bothering you?
[The monster thing. The wolf thing. No, he doesn't believe so. Hank would be far more straightforward about that if something so blatant were the case.]
