Not gonna. [The longer he thinks about it, the more it makes sense not to involve the Seelie. He likes Leo enough…but he has his own agenda to attend to.] And I wouldn't mention it to them either. We need an in since the Seelie have their own in over at the Cothromach with their smithing ring.
[He pauses, thinking back to what Jason had told him a month ago. 'Stop seeing the world as what Hiro Hamada needs. See it as what it is.' He's still having a little trouble keeping that in mind, but he's trying. Jason's words are enough to shut him up again, at least.] So play up being naive. Pretty sure I can still do that. Anyway I've been kinda curious for months about what they're really capable of since the Seelie contact told me about them. I've never had a chance to study the actual building techniques in this world before.
[There's another pause.] …I don't want to mess this up.
I can see how it could be useful, yeah. Absolutely useful. There's some information that the dwarves have that could definitely turn the tides for our side, but we don't exactly have a door open to achieve it. So, no pressure. [Jason knows Hiro's going to want to know more about that, but he won't tell him.
Right. No pressure. [Of course he wants to know. He's not stupid; he knows there's something bigger that Jason's not telling him (but that's not unusual at this point.) He's already trying to think of what it could possibly be, working to pinpoint the information Jason has...
...but no. He can't let that distract him right now. Later. He'll use his success as leverage, maybe. There's a deep breath.]

Maybe once he actually succeeds.]

So...is that permission for me to go?

Besides, we need this. We all do.
