there's a pause while he looks back at Hiro, face tight and straighed- but after another moment, the rest of the microbots crawl from the boy back on to him, reforming the mantle-and-hood properly. it's a bit sparse, with a cluster of microbots on either leg, but it's something.]
That's hardly a choice.
[part of him wants to snap out something else about 'if this is a trick', like he has to with the rest of his company as of late- he bites it back after the first two syllables, instead moving as far to the side as he can for Hiro to slip past and lead]
