[well. they haven't spoken much, but when ishi comes across connor while wandering... after everything that happened yesterday, he thinks that maybe they ought to speak.]
...Connor-san.
[ishi gives him a polite little bow, there, after catching his attention; his sword is notably missing.]
I hope you are well enough, considering everything.
[He sounds faintly surprised, but there's a distinct lack of judgement in his tone.]
I'm well. Thank you. [Noting the lack of sword, but not commenting on it. He wouldn't be awfully surprised if someone confiscated it after yesterday.] And you? You've left yourself exposed to retribution.
[His expression thightens ever-so-slightly at the mention of Zoe, the corners of his lips tugging downwards, before he nods.]
As safe as one can be within this competition. [Death sure keeps happening.] But I hope you will take the necessary steps to stay safe, yourself. We only have one week left before this is all over. It would be... unfortunate if something were to happen to you now.

I would not say I regret the actions we took, but I do regret that it may only keep this cycle in motion.

[And, at the end of the day? Connor can't blame him for that. There's a slight pause, however, right before he adds—]
I owe you my thanks, regardless. I assume you know what for.
no subject
[ishi smiles faintly, there; he can't help wondering for a moment just what she would have thought of all this.]
I think yours is the one case where what I have been trying to do was actually successful. I am glad to see you've been safe since then, Connor-san.

[he's been at that for long enough now, he thinks; this is a good place to end that effort, at least for himself.]
If nothing else, I would prefer it to be me over another person, though of course ideally I would like to see this through to the end.
