"Busy. Leave a message!"

[The sheepish grin that follows is enough to say he totally agrees with that. He agrees that they're both the type to gain someone or something without meaning though.]
Thank you, Grell. That means a lot to me. [There's a thought though and he shoots Grell a tentative look.] If…something happens in the future, think I could talk to the guards about maybe letting someone else stay, too? Y'know. Just in case.

Of course. They're reasonable people - I'm sure you can work something out with them.
[the way she says it, it's not a dismissal, but rather trusting Hiro that he'll be able to navigate the nature of that request. honestly, she should have put a third structure section in when she had a chance with all of this.]

Obviously I'd tell you first before I told them. It's still your outpost. [And no matter how close he thinks they are, it's still important for him to know that there's trust pretty much from all sides. The idea that she trusts him enough to handle it on his own is daunting, but it's...nice, all the same.]
Who else from our side knows this is here?

Those more involved in the military front of our war should at least have heard the rumours. Anyone in the closer area has confirmed knowledge...and anyone Saber would have told. It was her request that I see to this ring's security in the first place.
[she doesn't know who Saber told, but word got around.]
[she doesn't know who Saber told, but word got around.]
Saber had a lot of secrets in this place, didn't she? [It's an idle comment, but still one searching for an answer. It's still weird without her here, and it's disconcerting that someone like Saber could just be crushed the way that she had been.] Sorta makes you wonder what else we're missing here.
Everyone has secrets in this place.
[that look at him is a little pointed - she hasn't forgotten that quip from earlier so soon.]

Definitely good enough. ( she steps back, giving both of them space to do their thing and land safely. ) Ready?
[And there's a childish grin, one she probably hasn't seen on his face for a couple of weeks.]
I'll race ya. [And with that he ducks back into the shadows and disappears from sight. He lands just outside of the city as suspected, hiding among a few trees as he digs his hand into his pocket. Slipping the amulet around his neck, he trusts that it'll work to disguise him well enough and for further disguise, he reaches into his bag and pulls out one slightly beat up baseball cap. The cap has never made a public appearance, but it'll serve its purpose today. He crams it over his head and slips off his hoodie to ball into his bag. He's probably the only one in the Drabwurld to continually wear that particular item of clothing, so it's better not to draw attention to himself. All that mattered now was waiting for Clarke to appear so they could head into the city.]

( Clarke teleports soon after, and spots Hiro right as he pulls his necklace and cap on; it's almost strange seeing the immediate change, watching as the glamour settles around him. she approaches as herself, making sure that Hiro sees her before she dawns her own, hair turning a darker shade, features becoming sharper; she could pass for any other Parrais native with ease. )
I'm ready if you are.
I'm ready if you are.
[The glamour helps, lightening his hair a bit and making him seem a little older than he is, but his eyes are still the same as he peers up at her from under the brim of the cap. He's excited, tension already dissolving the moment Clarke joins him and he begins marching forward as he grabs Clarke's hand to pull her forward.]
More than ready. We didn't really get a chance to explore before the whole...riot thing. [You know. No big deal.] You're sure the glamours are going to hold up will enough?

[He thinks about video calling, or even audio - but when he thinks about Hiro, and the state Hiro's probably in, Bellamy sticks to text. It's a pseudo wall he's willing to offer, at least for now, at least until he figures out where the kid fucked off to.]
you don't have to tell me where you are, but at least tell me you're safe

[He's pretty grateful that it's text...but he also uses it as a tactic. He doesn't have to respond immediately, and he doesn't have to answer questions. What could go wrong here?]
Probably. Yes.
Probably. Yes.
[Bellamy would be greeted with a nice view of a rock probably, lbr.]
I'm fine, Bell. Not dead. Good start.
[He thinks to leave it at that...but Bellamy probably--no, definitely deserves more than that.]
...I needed to get out and clear my head a little bit. Sorry. There's a lot going on up there.
[Normally he wouldn't admit that, but. Dire circumstances.]

[Honestly, he's not surprised at all that Hiro took off. It just makes sense, and even though he understands it entirely, it still pushes against Bellamy's chest with concern too. He can't do anything from a distance, except check in.]
I know.
I'm not using this as a means to track you down. I just need to know you're safe, and you'll keep safe.
[Or he will track Hiro down, is the implication in the tone, somehow even over text.]

[He only took off once he was sure Clarke was safe. After that, all bets were off the table and he bolted without really seeing where he was going and throwing himself right into the fight.
In retrospect, it was pretty damn stupid. Part of him feels a tiny bit guilty he hadn't said where he was going. The other part can definitely pick up that subtext.]
I'm safe and I'll be safe until I come home. ...I ran into someone really important yesterday. I'm not exactly ready to leave yet.
[He can tell him that much. Even if he's not with Nico at this very moment, he's been darting in and out, hiding places and sticking close by just to monitor for his own peace of mind while occasionally acting as a medic or defense. For the most part though it's been scoping out the battlefield.]

[It's not entirely what Bellamy expected, but it's reassuring anyway. He knows all too well how much it means to find even one person to hold on to when the world seems like too much. Whoever it is, he's fucking glad they found Hiro.]
Good. Stay with them. Don't go radio silent.
[He sort of feels like whatever else he might want to say would be better in person - less time to think and calculate out the words.]
You know I'm just a text or call away, right?

[It's not radio silence, but there is silence while he's debating something on his end of the line. The world's ending. He at least owes Bellamy part of the real truth.]
I...may or may not be hanging out near the Seelie borderlines. We're kinda keeping an eye on each other.
[Whoever "we" is.]

I don't care if you're there, as long as you're not being an idiot about it.
[Even if one half of the 'we' is seelie, that much seems obvious enough if Hiro's lurking near the border. Bellamy already promised Hiro he'd help him find Tadashi should he ever show up on the other side, and out of everyone in Diasbaile, he feels like the least likely to take issue in Hiro associating with the opposite court. He dragged Hiro to Dorian's house and basically showed off firsthand how little he cared about drawing the court lines.]
[Besides, hanging out at the border honestly seems like a less reckless option than some other shit right about now.]
You trust them? That's what counts. I'd rather anyone have your back than no one.
[And he'd rather Hiro not be alone, most of all.]

I'm not...anymore, at least.
[It's probably for the best not to detail to Bellamy exactly what he was doing before he was found anyway.]
But I trust him a lot. [A pause, then:] Wouldn't still be dating him if I didn't. And I trust him not to come after you guys, too. Everything's going to be fine.

[There are a handful of things he could question here, least of all being Hiro's location and the fact that he is apparently dating a Seelie.]
[But Bellamy's more taken aback by the fact that Hiro's dating, in general. Still be dating implies it's been a while, as does the whole 'someone really important thing.']
[Hiro Hamada, you're so lucky now is a poor time to grill like Bellamy really wants to.]
Mystery boyfriend. Would be nice to know his name, when you get back.
[He doesn't want to make it risky over text, even if he's pretty sure most lines are being thrown out the window right now. But there's a "What the hell, Hiro?" in there too. How Bellamy manages to convey extra words over text continues to mystify all sources.]
How long have you known him? You ARE going to stay with him for now, right?

[Oh Bellamy, why do you think he did it this way? He knows it's much easier to drop that bomb when Bellamy can't grill him and just deal with the consequences later. (He sort of hopes maybe Bellamy will forget later. He's pretty sure that won't be the case though.) The tone gets across loud and clear, but probably only because he's used to someone (i.e. Tadashi) pulling similar tricks.]
Uh, kinda mystery boyfriend. [That is to say almost the rest of the Dias-fam knows.] But when I get back, sure.
And I've known him for a while. Longer than you and Clarke, almost as long as Jason and Loki. I met him in person for the first time almost a year and a half ago. [And Bellamy didn't ask this, but...] We've sort of been dating for like five months. Anyway sticking nearby for now, maybe. He's been out on the field on and off, too. I'll be fine though.

[HE IS BEGINNING TO ASSUME THIS. There'll be time for grilling later, that's what he keeps telling himself, even if he's glad Hiro is still talking about it - any words are better than no words, better than closing himself off and disappearing.]
[But also: of course. Of course he's the last to know. He doesn't dwell on whether or not it should have been obvious, or why he frowns. Five months is a long time, though if it's cross court lines, he can't blame the kid for being quiet.]
I'm not being sarcastic when I say I'm glad to hear that. [Knowing someone that long is a good sign. Or at least, Bellamy needs to take it as one.]
Not just a maybe. If you leave him and go somewhere else, let someone know. Now's not the time to up and vanish.

[To be fair, it's only the girls who know. He'll explain everything he can to Bellamy later at a time when there isn't a giant battle going on and they're both running the risk of being destroyed. Five months is longer than he anticipated with the outside world working against them. He can stretch out more time as needed.]
...thanks, I think. [He's really not sure what that means, but he'll take it.] I'm not going to vanish. I promise if I move somewhere else I'll text you and Clarke first thing to let you guys know. I'm not going much further into their territory if I can help it.

[The major part of it Bellamy would have been concerned about is how safe the boyfriend is - not because of who he might be so much as his capability to fight in a situation like this. But if Hiro trusts him, that's enough for now. It has to be.]
Okay. I'll hold you to that. And I'm sure it goes without saying to keep avoiding the machines. At least most everyone seems a little more focused on those than each other in all this.
