It's not like you've got military drills in the morning, dude. Chill.
[ Ellie laughs, unaware of how awkward it must be for a girl to be in his room. She's completely oblivious to those kinds of things. She plops on his bed. ]
Besides, this way there's no awkward run-ins with your brother and aunt, right?
[ And it's a mess, as to be expected. Completely covered in tech of all kinds, from half-assembled robots to bits and pieces of armor. The biggest stuff is in the garage, but he still brings stuff back up to work on in his room. The bed is mostly free of components. ]
[ Ellie snorts as she reaches behind her, feeling something prod at her behind. She pulls a small, robotic arm from underneath her and wiggles it back and forth, watching it bend. ]
Definitely looks like your place, that's for sure.
[ She laughs as she sets the piece down. ]
My room's covered in comics and opened books. I'm not exactly one to talk.

[ He doesn't wait for an answer, though. He just goes to the window and carefully opens it, leaning out to look. ]
no subject
Hnk--
Grab my hand, would you?
[ She reaches out for Hiro, asking for help. ]
no subject
Sure, but - what are you doing here? You okay?
no subject
What?
[ With an "oof", she rolls over the windowsill and into his room. Ellie stands up straight and pats off the dust and dirt off her pants. ]
I figured I'd come over. Couldn't sleep. Used to sneak into friends' rooms all the time back home.

[ Now that he's awake, he's not too sleepy, but he's still weirded out. And ... oh god. He has a girl in his room, doesn't he. ]

[ But now that the initial shock is over, he's pleased to see her. He flops down next to her gladly enough. ]
no subject
[ She laughs and playfully nudges Hiro on the shoulder. ]
no subject
And I'm super good at sneaking out of the house, so I guess we'll be safe.
no subject
[ Ellie takes a look around, swinging her feet as she makes a buzzing noise between her lips. ]
So...
This is your room, huh?

Did you have any of that back home? I mean, I guess they'd be easier to get than movies.
no subject
Uh.
Yeah, there were plenty of books. Some were missing pages or the ink had gotten wet but I had a pretty decent collection.
You know, in Boston.
I had to leave a lot of that behind when I left.

[ She laughs. ]
I stole most of the ones I had.

[ He's imagining something out of Raiders of the Lost Ark right about now. ]
no subject
[ Another shove. Nerd. ]
no subject
Dude, you'd be picturing it too if you'd seen this movie. I love Indiana Jones.
no subject
I have seen that movie and that is totally not what I was thinking of at all.
