[Like he's never done this with Tadashi before. Or let Mochi eat off of the same spoon he's eaten off of. There's a bright grin and he's promptly setting the fork down, snatching the spoon to shovel the cookie dough into his mouth.]

I know. [Said around the spoon.] ...I think maybe you were right. About being afraid of change even though it wasn't change I was afraid of, it was about not controlling that change. We can't control everything, right? We just focus on the things we can control and do our best to make sure we're in a good position for everything else. Adapt as we see fit for each situation. Don't do stupid things and be smarter to stay ahead. That kind of thing.

[He pulls the spoon out of his mouth.] ...I want to be a better Hiro. People in this court are starting to trust me more though. The new shardbearers and everything? I can help them. I've been helping them.

[He's eaten about half of the mac and cheese and the chicken he had on his plate, but he's eyeing the dough again.] ...plus...you know...some important people in the military have started approaching me for jobs, too.
