Hiro listened silently to Sumiko's slow response. He tilted his head slightly and regarded the mess on the floor. "Yes...that does take some getting used to, doesn't it?" He didn't comment anymore than that. Truthfully, he wasn't used to any of these things either. The people, their actions, the mess, and most of all, all these emotions. It was as if the outside world was trying to drive him crazy.
Living underwater had its advantages and its disadvantages. An advantage was that most spaces were clean, impeccably clean. There was no chance for things to get sullied like the floor Nick had thrown up on. But the disadvantages far outweighed the advantages. There was no change in weather, there was no change in lighting, there was no change. Period. There was only technology and technology. Even emotions were kept on a stable level. While it was true Gagdofians were emotional people, many had turned to technology to help them to keep their emotions stable. That was why Hiro had never had as many issues with his empathy as he did at that moment.
Akane was speaking with someone, Hiro noted. The woman from earlier. The Cor la'Ronk. He turned his body so he was facing her somewhat. "Harm or no harm...it seems you might need our help more than we should be afraid of you." he murmured. He did not mean to be rude or anything, he was merely speculating off of the emotions he could read flowing off of her.
