[OOC notes:] I am always happy to backtag (it's great, actually, because I work nights so my tagging hours are often a little weird), and I find threadhopping delightful, so go for both of those, but please don't spoil Connor for the end result of the Revolutionary War. (No Fourth-Walling!)
[IC notes:] Consider: culturally, Connor doesn't do casual touch. Very close friends and family members get away with a lot of touch, but acquaintances should avoid anything beyond a polite handshake and strangers probably shouldn't touch him at all. He understands that casual touching is cool by most people and he tolerates it to an extent, but don't look for him to give you hugs if you need comfort or anything like that. It's just not his way. He does tolerate quite a bit more casual touch toward the end of the game versus the beginning, and there are one or two characters from whose touch he never flinches, but they're rare (and also his parents, so....).
He also comes from a violent and medically backwards canon/time in American History. Though he does in fact take horrible events (and injuries) very seriously, they are a matter of course for him, and he's liable to talk about them casually and without significant feeling. He's also not opposed to using bleeding as a treatment for illness so uh. Yeah.
