[Connor does, of course, know the dictionary definition of a prank and a few associated tidbits. That doesn't mean he really gets it, much like he didn't really get emotion or pleasure or any of that when he first came out of CyberLife. He lets Hank explain, though, in the hopes of getting some kind of insight. ... he doesn't really get any.]
Well, if confusion was the goal, they've certainly accomplished it.
[He says it a little helplessly, for once completely out of his depth. He has no answers.]
I have no idea. Provocative costumes tend to have a... different look, around here. It seems like a bit too much effort for a prank to have it custom made, though?
Heh heh. [Just a little tiny bit of a smile, then. In the end if this is Markus or Simon it is a pretty damn ridiculous situation. As far as Hank's seen of shady weird pranks this isn't too bad. Really fucking strange, but nothing terrible.] Guess so.
[Connor does bring up a good point. He doesn't see either of the men setting up that type of elaborate ruse, but then again Hank doesn't think like an android.]
I don't think it was something from back home either. Otherwise...you know what I don't even want to fucking think about that.
[Connor frowns as the other possibilities come to mind, and none of them really seem all that plausible, although he's starting to have additional doubts about his previous conceptions on others' motives and willingness.
Go figure that it would take something like this to make him doubt his predictive programming.]
Maybe it's better if I put this away and not try to think about it again.
[Either that or go straight to the apparent source for interrogation. It's a 50-50 chance for him right now, honestly.]
[Hank briefly seems to ponder it before shrugging. Thankfully his brain has managed to push this off into the side of 'don't give a fuck' as he tends to do with a lot of things. As interesting as it would be to know the reason why this happened at all, the costume was given to Connor and not to him (thank Christ) and Connor is free to do with it as he wills. Granted this does not stop him from having an opinion.]
Shit that's better than me. Think I would have just burned the damn thing.
[Hank is definitely welcome to his opinion. Connor doesn't exactly know what he's going to do with this, if anything, but it seems like a waste to get rid of it for some reason. At least his clothing doesn't take up that much space, thanks to not needing to wash things as regularly, so it's not that much of an issue to keep it.
Maybe if he gets some answers he'll find something to do with it. Who knows.]
Well it ain't evidence and I've probably done worse pranks to a few others...not to mention seeing someone's face when you told them you just burned it like it was the most logical thing to do.
[Overkill? 100%. Hank's the type to fight fire with literal fire if he needs to and get the upper hand.]
Well, if you ever get an idea to strike back at 'em, lemme know. I've got experience in this sort of shit.
[A look of faint concern mixed with an awkward smile meant to acknowledge humor comes to his face as he tilts his head slightly, making a note to himself. He had partly expected Hank to confirm, but, uh.
Tendencies towards pyromania...?]
... right. [Maybe he... should do some external research first. Just to be sure. ... and safe.] If I get the urge, I'll... let you know.

Good. Now put that shit away, we have better things to do.
