Derek didn't know if he could hear him but Connor eventually calmed down and he even stopped whispering his name, his body wasn't spasming anymore and he seemed to be sleeping peacefully now.
Derek preferred to continue talking to him and he told him about the boys, what they had accomplished together, and he also told him that their rightful King had finally appeared and that with the help of their allies they would finally be able to free their people.
And as he continued to tell him stories about the boys he felt Connor move and when he called to him in a weak voice he felt his heartbeat racing and when he pulled away from him to look at his face which was until now buried in his neck he saw that his eyes were open and he couldn't stop his tears from flowing again as he said : "It's me, my love, it's really me and you are home, the men of the God of War rescued you and they brought you back here."
