Of course he's meddlesome. [He grins, though it doesn't quite meet his eyes.] …Tadashi was also really meddlesome when he was alive. [And still is, come to think of it.] I think he purposefully programmed him that way. Eventually you just learn to deal with having a large, squeaky shadow.

It is my job to assist. [Baymax, polite as ever, interrupts and looks down at Hiro and Leon.] Tadashi designed me to help at all costs.

Buuut a promise is a promise. I'll keep him from "meddling" with you.

[... Meddlers. He snorts softly under his breath--that sort of person... it's honestly not that bad, right? If the world was made up of meddlers with good intentions, it would probably be a better place.]

See to it that you do.

[Honestly.]

I am not the sort of person who [...deserves] requires that sort of meddling.

[zerotohiro]

[He actually laughs incredulously, giving Leon a bemused look.] And I look like I am? What kind of person even "requires meddling"? I didn't think that was something you could really categorize.

[discard]

Of course you do. [Ah...]

You are the sort of person to find trouble no matter where you go. I would suppose you are the sort of person who jumps straight into danger without even considering the consequences.

Hence why you would require a meddlesome caretaker.

[…well he's not wrong.]

I jump into whatever's necessary, and Baymax knows that. That's why we work as a team. It's about the only way I can get him to let up a little.

[And they've reached the burger place, but Hiro's pausing just outside of the door.] Sometimes that's the only way to deal with meddlesome people. Let them help. [People like Baymax or Stahn, he thinks. But then again he doesn't know the whole deal with Stahn.]

[discard]

[... If Stahn had been allowed to help... if Leon had accepted that help, or had reached out to Stahn...

... Well, that train of thought is a dead end, really. He didn't reach out to Stahn. And in the end, any possible help was far, far too late to matter.]

Sometimes, that is not a valid option.

[But that's all he'll say about that.]

Regardless, this is not my stop. [Oh... Leon's realized that he walked this whole way with Hiro now, oops.] I'm leaving.

[zerotohiro]

[What a sad thought. He doesn't say anything else about that, and he rolls his eyes instead.]

Yeah, I heard ya. [This has definitely given him a lot to think on.] Take it easy dude. [That's probably the most amicable dismissal he's ever given the guy, and Baymax waves goodbye as the two of them head into the restaurant. Adios muchacho.]
