Most of the Court? [Give him a second, there's a skeptical look in place.] There're untrustworthy Seelie?
Sounds about right seeing how that's pretty much what I've heard about yours, too. This whole thing is just a bunch of people telling the same story over and over again but changing it so it suits them. [Gee Hiro sound like anybody you know?] And once they lose someone's loyalty...that's it. They have no reason to keep your around. But I don't know if I really believe they don't force people to fight for them. Otherwise we would be able to actually leave when we felt like it. You know. If we're talking about free will.
Maybe there's no way of knowing. But...I'm still not excited by the idea of the worlds coming to an end, salvation or not.
[...and all right, that's true, he'll give Joshua that. He's not a great candidate for a soldier and he wouldn't be able to take orders. That's always been Hiro's problem. He's usually the one calling orders.] ...I don't know. But you know eventually we're going to have to make a choice to do it anyway. I know people die eventually and that immortality is a hard thing to achieve, but there's a different between accepting the inevitable and letting it come to you without trying to choose how it fits into your own life. If I'm choosing how to live, I want to choose how to die. Simple.
[Not simple. He still doesn't understand the true, heavy implications behind that. Give him a few weeks and he'll get it thanks to Jason, but. His expression suddenly falters then.]
Don't. Don't tell me that. I'm pretty sure I'm never going to run into a burning building without a real course of action first. [So he says. But again, Joshua's right. Nobody can really know until they're faced with the dilemma. He's pretty sure though.] What Tadashi did was...I wouldn't. There would be a better plan.
