[Bellamy fits right in alongside their nervousness, antsy in a way he hasn't been around Hiro before. He recognizes that same feeling in Clarke and Grell, which - helps a little, knowing he's not alone in any of this. The cat comes over, rubbing her face against Bellamy's leg before squinting at Hiro, but she waits too, not interested in fighting with the dogs for attention yet.]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Rhea is the opposite of a watch dog. She has no manners. [Which is true enough, even if Bellamy's mostly saying it to be contradictory. Rhea loves people, and she loves Hiro. Which has the next few words spilling over before he can really stop them.] She probably recognizes you.

[Excellent job, Bellamy. Just bring it all up right off the bat. He flinches right after, grimacing apologetically as his body stiffens.] Sorry.

[It's pretty much exactly what he wanted to avoid this whole time, not wanting to put any expectations on Hiro.]
