Connor isn't asleep. He wishes he wwas. He tried. The nightmare woke him. Memories mixed with imagination, images of Murphy fighting something bigger than himself, something stronger, meaner, more deadly than the thugs in Boston.
"Go 'way," he mutters through the door. Completely unfair, he knows. He's in Murphy's room. And he has no doubt the dumb ass forgot his key.
"Sing then, ye fool." Connor mutters, even as he moves to the door. He knows Murohy'll do it. He has no doubt. "'S yer own damn fault ya forgot yer key, aye?"
However, when the occasion calls for it, he will sing as loudly and off key as any man can get without tearing up their throat.
"Oh my name is Jock Stewart 'm a canny gun man An' a roving young fellow I've been So be easy an' free when yer drinkin' with me 'm a man ya don't meet every day."
The occasion calls for it.
"I have acres of land I have men at command I have always a shilling ta spare So be easy an' free when yer drinkin' with me 'm a man ya don't meet every day.
So come fill up yer glasses of brandy an' wine Whatever it costs I will pay So be easy an' free when yer drinkin' with me-"
Which is when the door finally opens.
"Took ya long enough," he says as he picks the bottle back up.

"If ya don't open th' door right now... I'll start singin'. 'M not jokin', Connor. Ya know I'll do it, too."
One more round of pounding on the door as he takes a deep breath.
