Why do you think he's fat? [Mochi gets spoiled by all of the Hamadas. Still, there's something nice about knowing he's having a direct impact on her but he can't quite meet her eyes on that. It's great and embarrassing and wonderful and confusing and why can't everything be as simple as tic-tac-toe. Seriously.]
In that case I'll have to keep coming back until you get better. [Or until the ghosts show up and fuck everything up.] ...if Yang lets me.
[She sure does know. Yang probably knows more than the two of them do themselves and it's something Hiro's vaguely aware of without quite touching on the real subject. Still. They're not running around the colony like they're prone to doing, so this totally counts as resting.]
This is sorta why I'm glad I never had an older sister. I can deal with Tadashi being a huge nerd but I draw the line at weird. Did you ask her what's up?
...riiight. Got it. [He's definitely not going to ask about the weird things. Instead, he's assessing their game board before filling in one more square.] I win. Sorry. [He's not sorry at all. But it's better to do that and move past the weird stuff than dwell on it, he thinks.]
[He ends up laughing, turning the page in his notebook and making an even bigger game grid for them.] All right, all right. We'll do best two out of three.
[If this is how he's going to spend his afternoon? Then so be it. He can deal with this.]

[Ruby has totally done this with Zwei because she's Ruby.
She smiles at that, though, and completely pleased and contented expression. Honestly? That's not even a concern for her.]
I am getting better. I'm feeling a little better already, just from you coming over.

Why wouldn't Yang let you?

[She says, as they play tic-tac-toe and chatter and definitely don't particularly go out of their way to rest.]
She's been kind of weird lately sometimes.
[She knows, Ruby. She knows.]

[Hiro. Crushes. Weird things.]
--weird things. It's better to leave it alone I think. She'll go back to being Yang-y soon enough.
[Sage nod. DON'T ASK.]

Heyyyy--hey wait a second!

I want a rematch!
