[If he's bothered by the judgement, he doesn't outwardly show it. Actually, there's a short laugh of surprise as it clicks exactly what Thrall's saying.]

...Tadashi used to tell me all the time to look for a new angle. [Literally all the time.] And I passed that on to my team. Maybe I just got tired of looking and not finding the angles I wanted. [Screw it, he's just going to take a potato and work on eating that.]

Everything happens really fast here. But there's always time to think things through...right? [He's not entirely sure, but he'd like that to be true.] It's just one more project for me to work on, but at least this one seems easier.

[Hiro mentioning his dead older brother is pretty huge. Thrall's expression softens further. He wants to ruffle Hiro's hair, but that might be too much right now, so he lets him work on eating lunch.] Everyone gets frustrated sometimes. As long as you don't give up, you can be as frustrated as you want.

[His lip curves into a slight smile around his tusks.] There is plenty of time. [Unsaid, but felt: I believe in you. He really does, and he has, this whole time.]

[He's getting better about mentioning Tadashi. It gets a little easier every day to mention Tadashi even if he still is careful about it. He can talk about him, but he's focused on food because it's easier to split his attention.]

I just have to remember that. And at least I have people to remind me of that. [He looks up from under his bangs, giving Thrall a pointed look. He sees what you're saying there, dude.] I'm not going down without a fight though. That's not why I'm in this court. We just need to keep moving.

[And that is what they'll do. They're resilient, then Unseelie court. Hiro's always known that. They've had a lot of hard hits since Hiro and Thrall entered this world but they've made it out each time. They just can't give up.]
