[Elizabeth's politeness, that formality that's still situated in something light-hearted, is something that Connor tries to reflect back in his own mannerisms. If only by the straightening of his already perfect posture, the downward incline of his head to acknowledge this introduction. It's easy for him to adjust to someone of Elizabeth's temperament, designed as he is to adjust with those he works with.
Hit or miss, usually, but in this instance, perhaps not so much.]
It's good to meet you, Elizabeth. I would call you "Lizzy" only if you preferred it.
[Familiarity is good, but Connor is cognizant of not wishing to overstep boundaries, even if she did invite the nickname unto herself.]
And I promise I'll do my best to avoid any further instances that might cause undue disappointment. Instead, I hope that you'll learn to see the more favorable traits that I possess in my programming.
