[it's unexpected, but it's welcome - Hiro's right, she does need a hug. she kind of wants many hugs and to avoid what she's going to deal with tonight by wasting time asking Hiro about his world again, but she'd already sent out the message. so instead, she'll just take this for what it is, the first hug between them Hiro's initiated.]

You're welcome.

[she knows what it's for, and she hopes he knows a thank you isn't even necessary.]

[He doesn't know anything about the meeting tonight, doesn't know what's going on and while he wants to ask, now isn't the time. It's not the time and Grell probably isn't the person. She's done enough. So he doesn't let go for a few moments but eventually he does, slowly at first before stepping away.]

I'll take good care of Scarlett. Promise. [A beat.] But you should come back soon to check in anyway. Just in case. [It's not as subtle as he hopes, but he definitely wants to keep an eye on her for now. Just in case.]
