It's a good idea, and it's good you're involved. You're smart, especially with this kinda tech. [He says it casually, because even if it could be read as complimentary, to Bellamy it's just matter of fact.]
[He does frown over the admittance of no sleep, but it's not like Bellamy's in a place to judge. He hasn't gotten a full night's sleep in weeks.]
Sometimes a catalyst can just fall into your lap. [Look at him, trying to be optimistic. He doesn't quite realize it, but it's probably because Hiro needs some.]
It's tech and magic. [But he appreciates it, judging by the small smile. Thank you for believing in him, Bellamy.] We'll figure something out. We have to.
[That optimism is what he needs, and at the question he pauses again to think.] ...not really. I need to tell you something. Well, about something that happened back in July when I went to Quendi. I didn't exactly tell you the whole story because I thought I could fix things by now but doesn't look like it.
[Bellamy half grins back. It feels a little weird to stretch the muscles.]
[Then he frowns, but the admission isn't exactly a surprise. The last few weeks have been hell on sleep for a lot of people, Hiro included. He's even gone off with the kid in the middle of the night a few times.]
[But Quendi means the Shuck was likely involved, and Bellamy knows he's not going to like the answer to his next question, his tone already concerned.]

That the only thing keeping you up?

What happened, Hiro? What's going on?
