[The way Hiro figures it is like this. If he can't even handle...whatever this is, how the hell is he going to handle the dead? He's not. He has to be brave and face this first before thinking about following Nico to fulfill Shuck's task.
The axe is less than assuring though.]
We're tracking it. We're actually tracking this thing? [Whispering or not, his pitch is growing a little higher because this could be bad. It doesn't stop him from darting from the tree to the bushes where Thrall's at, following in his shadow and keeping a hand wrapped around the handle of the axe. Even if he can't properly use it thanks to its weight, it'll do for a good bludgeoning tool if necessary. Despite the fact he's done his own fair share of traveling, he's not entirely familiar with everything in this place either and that's the really unsettling part.
What if it's something else nobody else has ever seen?
...okay. Be brave, tiny Frostwolf. Whatever it is can't have gone far.]
