[...he really should learn to watch his mouth sometimes.] Oh. [He's trying to think if he's met anybody else even relatively close to his age. Lumina's a few years younger. Lemina's a few years older. Eren's probably not that much older than he is. Based on his brief conversations with Ellie and Leo he can guesstimate they're pretty close. The number's...pretty small.] You and me both.
[If he ever finds out when Nico's really from and about the Lotus, he's going to lose his mind.]
I can't promise that, but I think I'll manage just fine.
[He knows better than to approach the monarchs without a good strategy, but sometimes things just happen.
Likewise, he's putting a weird sliver of trust in Nico not to screw this up, too. It's a little odd knowing that they both know exactly where the other stands on either side of the war and yet they both have continued talking. What does that even mean? This is sort of a huge conflict of interest in Hiro's opinion but...as much as he likes his friends on the Unseelie side, he's never really met somebody who gets the things Nico seems to get.
Bummer that he's a Seelie and they'll probably never get to really see each other. It's for that reason that Hiro relaxes slightly. It's just conversation. It'll be fine.]
Nice to meet you, too. ["Formally this time."] Any other words of advice?
