It's Good To Meet You Connor
Should I make this a one-shot or put more?
Philadelphia June 16, 1775
Rudi
"...and for the support of the glorious cause. I beg they will accept my most cordial thanks for this distinguished testimony of their approbation. But lest some unlucky event should happen, unfavorable to my reputation, I beg it may be remembered by every Gentleman in the room, that I, this day, declare with utmost sincerity, I do not think myself equal to the Command I am honored with. As to..."
My focus shifts from Commander Washington to a familiar voice behind me: Sam Adams.
"Truly, there is no man better suited to the task," he said.
Agreed, I thought.
"Really? I can think of several."
"Charles Lee," I sigh under my breath. That man is an evil prick who only cares for the British side. Any curse or word to him is too high of a compliment. Acknowledgement is just a waste of time.
I look behind me hearing a chair pushed across the floor so roughly it makes a groaning sound. A tall man with black hair stands at Charles Lee. The energy I get from him... murderous, hate, rage. I will kill you, it says. Samuel leads him away to Washington, grabbing his arms and leading up to the front of the room. I could hear his words: "Sorry to pull you away like that, but the last thing we need is the two of you coming to blows."
"I'd stab him now if I could," I mutter to myself.
The man with black hair just begins to look over his shoulder at me when Samuel drags him to Washington.
"Connor, allow me to introduce you to our newly appointed Commander-in-Chief, George Washington."
Connor? The man from the Lexington battle? I sat up and leaned forward to hear more.
"It was the Patriots who did that. I merely lent support."
I smirk and I see Washington laugh a bit. Washington then takes Connor's hand to shake it.
"As humble as he is brave. We could use more men like you." His gaze shifts to me for a fraction of a second before he says,"Connor, I hear you are half Mohawk and half British. Is this correct?"
"Yes, Commander," Connor answers.
I see where this is going.
"Well I know a good friend of mine who is quite a bit like you. She is a dear friend of my family and I think you two would have a good deal in common." He looks to me and gestures to me to come forward. "Rudi! Come meet young Connor here."
I stand from my seat and walk to the three men. I almost glare at Connor straight away for him being so much taller than me by a good seven or eight inches. The next thing I notice is him in general; he is one big dude. And VERY handsome.
He says hello to me in Mohawk. I have never heard one piece of the Mohawk language but I just understood.
"Hello to you as well, Connor. It's nice to meet you," I greet him. He takes my hand and kisses it. I know that is the customary greeting for a man to a woman but I could feel heat rise to my face. Please say I'm not blushing.
Connor
"Hello to you as well, Connor. It's nice to meet you," she greets me. I wonder if she could be half Mohawk as well. I use the greeting Achilles taught me and I take her hand kiss it. I feel her tense up. Did I do something wrong?
Rudi
Once our hands separated I felt my hands aching to touch him. I held them together behind my back.
"I'm sorry, but if you'll excuse me - I should attend to Charles over there. He looks none too happy about being passed over for command. It was good to meet you Connor."
Washington bows slightly to Samuel and I and goes to Charles Lee.
Connor gets close to Samuel and whispers,"Tell me you have news of Pitcairn."
"John Pitcairn?" I say.
"Yes. Why, do you search for him too?"
"Yes I do. He hurt a dear friend of mine and I intend to make him pay. He needs to die."
"Seems Washington was right. You two do get along. I'm told he's taken shelter in Boston, where he's guarded by a thousand Redcoats. The only way you're going to get at him, is if we draw him out. Lucky for the two of you, we're launching an offensive against the city in order to do just that."
Connor gives this look. I can't explain it, but it makes me think it's adorable and a little cocky.
"Israel Putnam has been given command of our forces. Present this to him and he'll provide whatever aid you require." Samuel hands me the letter and I fold it in half once more than it is and stick it in my shirt since all of my pockets are filled with the extra powder needed for my pistols.
"What? My pockets are full!" I tell them at seeing their shocked looks.
"Anyway, you'll find him at the encampment on Bunker Hill."
"Thank you, Sam," I said.
"No need. It's the least I could do. Pitcairn's a dangerous man. The sooner we're rid of him, the better."
Connor turns to the side. "I would say the same of Charles Lee."
I wonder what troubles Connor has with him.
"Now that's an altogether different beast. Let us leave it for another day. Best you head to Boston, Connor and Rudi."
Stepping outside Connor and I decided to share one horse since it would save time and supplies. We ride for a while before coming upon an angry soldier.
"State your business!"
"Looking for Israel Putnam," I say.
"On who's orders?" he inquires.
I pull the letter out of my shirt and hold it between my index and middle finger and answer: "Samuel Adams."
He snatches the letter from me and reads it.
"Follow me."
I hope you all enjoyed this~! Should I make more chapters? You see, Rudi is actually a fan of the games and put into the world hence her thinking Connor is "a really big dude." Which if you look at this you would think so too: ?q=connor+kenway&offset=24#/d5ejy5u
Review please and again I ask: Should I make more chapters? Just one or two because I don't want to make any spoilers for Rudi's role in AC 3.
