[She'll come to find that's how he's been trying to get by in the Drabwurld, little flits and lies of omission, little ways of brushing off the topics that matter until it's too late. More than anything he's still a little dazed and emotionally drained from that conversation, even if it wasn't everything in its entirety. Trying to change the subject is his way of recovering.

Granted, even if she's not taking the bait on that he doesn't exactly mind the subject she picks if the nervous laugh is anything to go by.]

Heh...so you've met him already. [Hiro wipe that smile off your face, you probably look like a giant dork.] He's got his reasons but I'm trying to make things a little better. ...I mean it's kinda hard since I haven't seen him or really heard from him in a month but that was part of the deal I made with Jason. [A short pause.] I'm sure he's throwing around the word "boyfriend" but I don't think he actually knows it's true. Nico and I kinda didn't agree on anything until after Jason grounded me. That was my bad.
