Connor may be acting out of the ordinary, but he's not stupid. There aren't any technicians here to repair him if he gets damaged, and no spare parts lying around that he's aware of. He's not inclined to go up against a blade being wielded by someone he hasn't been able to so much as knock over despite his best efforts. No thanks.

Besides. He knows of at least one person he can get close enough to bite before she realizes what's happening. She trusts him. They're friends. He could probably even ask her and she'd be willing to accommodate his blood lust.

Slinking into the shadows and (ideally) letting the darkness conceal his movements, he makes his way back to the caravans. He knows which one is Chloe's. He knows she'll welcome him.
