Oooh! A very nice car indeed! Hiro was -- well, he was polite enough and well raised enough not to bounce on the seat, but did have to look at all the widgets and gizmos within reach. Sadly, in the back seat, that didn't amount to much."
"Very nice car!" he said, managing not to mangle the English, even if the last r was a bit soft.
"Should think so, considering the price tag. It's a rental." Had to look the part to impress after all. Nathan settled into a seat across from him, and one of his campaign staff was handing him a shirt and trousers to change into. Good thing he had time to throw boxers on under the pajama bottoms. All men here in the vehicle so dressing wasn't a problem.
Nathan glanced out the window before he looked at Hiro again, "So now just making your way there?" He wasn't sure whether to believe the idea of New York exploding. The news about winning though...
"Whereever you saw that I won, you didn't happen to see how that happened, did you? Or why?" Just idle curiosity. Hopeful actually.
Hiro blinks as the pin finds his jacket-- and he touches it; he woudln't know a damn thing about the American political system if you clubbed him with it, but it-- feels like he just made a friend or-- or--
Something.
Still, he beams like a boy with a secret, and nods. "Yes. Special." He makes that gesture with his hand, a soft hiss of breath given as if to symbolize the take off of a man who can fly...
...he is a little jealous. Sure, he teleports, he moves through time...
Something like that. Granted Nathan still doesn't want to admit to his ability usually.
But he had to admit, he was right about flying over the desert...was damn fun.
He did give a warning look with his eyes.
"Secret, remember?"
And maybe part of him was slightly reassured that his brother and him weren't the only ones. A very small and quiet part. The rest of him still thought the whole thing was crazy.
The car then pulled up to the hotel and casino.
"Looks like this is our stop," Nathan remarked, and went to get out first. So he could hold the door open for Hiro.
"Very nice car!" he said, managing not to mangle the English, even if the last r was a bit soft.

"How long you've been in America?" He asked.

Let's see; did he count the time he spent in the future? Where the world exploded? No? Hmm.
"Two weeks!"
It was as good an answer as any, really.

He ...really mangled that, but he TRIES. Oh, Nathan how he TRIES.

"California?" And here's how the correcting starts!

That's the place. Hiro beams.

You know, finding the dead guy.

He looked back, "Sightseeing?"

He hopes he meets him. Alive.

Yeah, he'll say that and the guy will shut up, right? Nobody asked 'what did you think of that', so Hiro figures he's safe in not explaining too much.

He went back to his thoughts as they entered the city.
But then he grab one of his buttons. Ok, guy's from out of town, so not like he can vote here. But hey, more publicity?
"Here. Souvenir on the house," He replied as he handed one of his 'Vote Petrelli' buttons over to Hiro.
He leaned over to quietly add out of earshot of his team, and grinned "From one special to another, right?"
