that's something. a lot of the times she'd just gone with the flow, but now and then she's seen that taking something that seemed different was. better, maybe. ]

I'm here awkwardly trying to offer some kind of help, and you give me all that... [ half-serious; if she admits it outright and says it like it's no big deal, it's obviously not true. obviously. not that she actually thinks anything she had to say could make the situation more okay, and how wryly she says that implies as much. ] You're a little young to be talking that big, aren't you?

[ though she doesn't really mean it--it's more of a jab than anything else, a hint that she... somewhat approves of that take on things in her tone. it's not quite so surprising that he'd say something like that, considering the other heroic types she knows.

all of them are just asking to give themselves migraines... but with that, milla figures hiro'll probably be fine too. ]
