[hopefragment]

Yeah.

[He exhales quietly and takes another drink from his water.]

...Do you mind? If I ask what... they tried to promise you?

[Literally anyone can guess Hinata's after the week before last, revealing that he's actually SHSL Nobody.]

[dhaosu]

Yes, you may.

[ He straightens himself a little. ]

Saving my people and keeping them safe for all of eternity. However, even that is not something they could guarantee. History is ever-changing, for one thing.

[ And this is something he must do on his own, among other things. ]

[hopefragment]

That's... really noble.

[Hinata laughs quietly, running a hand through his hair. Poland, Lithuania, Faize... now Dhaos, all of them have these selfless desires. Feels bad, bro.]

You're a good guy, Dhaos. To care about your people that much.

[dhaosu]

[ If anything, the compliment almost takes him aback. Hearing a human saying something like that regarding his situation is a different change of pace. But he is grateful for it. ]

...Thank you. Unfortunately, I am not sure what else I can say to express my gratitude for those words.

[ ... ]

After all, you seem like a noble individual yourself.

[ That was awkward, but he was just getting the hang of this... he thinks. ]

[hopefragment]

Hah, you don't have to, really.

[Express gratitude, that is. Hinata was content just leaving it at that, but-- w-wait, what?!]

N-noble, me? C-c'mon, there's no way that's true.

[dhaosu]

Mm.

[ Hinata, why be bashful? He looks over at him curiously. ]

Isn't it?

You are one of those who attempt to help out the most, for one thing. That counts a lot, especially in a situation like this...
