#bc this is a healthy conversation to have and he is Asking. and trusts markus to listen

"Markus?"

Markus was reading. Connor stood at the end of the hall, leaning into Markus' living room. There was a habit Markus had of giving Connor his full attention; it's what he did, now, book closed over his thumb, eyes bright and awake in a way that caught the evening sun as it crept across the couch. The key to Markus' apartment was, currently, tucked into Connor's wallet, with his cards. It had been an invitation, made a week ago.

Probably he'd only be here another week or two at most (finding an apartment), but he knew now that he was one-hundred-and-thirty-eight-point-zero-two pounds in weight, which was information he would have been better off not having. He'd not even wholly made the decision to step onto the bathroom scales, it was a... habit.

"Do you use your scales a lot?" A beat, then (clarification), "I'd like to move them. I prefer not to know."
