[The less Nao knows, the better. If Killua has gleaned anything from their conversation so far, it's that Nao is the thoughtful type, perhaps a little nosy as well. He may turn out to be a valueable asset in the future, but he could just as easily end up a hindrance.]

But being a little rebellious isn't all bad, either. Sometimes being your own person's more important than what your folks tell you to be.

[At that, Killua glances back at Nao, one brow quirked.]

Hey, I said I was sorry! Guess it'd be better if I left the kids up to you, right? Seeing as they like you so much~

[Sure, Killua won't actually ditch Nao with these brats, but it's a fun threat to make anyway.]
