[Thrall doesn't know this, but that helps a lot. Hiro's also not going to tell him that helps a lot, but that's a whole other story. He's busy thinking that one through because he doesn't know anything about spirits or their likes and dislikes, but he gets that it's basically bribery to make sure they don't freak out. That's acceptable.]

Hostile's usually not a good sign. [Hmm...] What if you offered something else in exchange? Like protecting them from people that upset them?

Hey, just checking! I don't know a lot about orcs, remember? [He sounds amused at least. But Hiro does pretty well keeping things light and ignoring problems and worries. They don't matter anymore. As soon as he gets the confirmation that people are alive and well, he settles pretty quickly so though there's still a hint of nervous energy he's sliding back into how he was during the feast.]
