Thirty-three was not a great deal older than thirty, thank you very much, and he was still stewing a little bit even as they watched television. Mohinder wondered, absently, if they could get a Disney movie on instead, this had to be boring to watch for everyone else, when Matt's thoughts struck him a bit oddly.

What good will shaking hands do? Mohinder did want the best for everyone, including himself. That had little to do with photo ops and handshaking. He wanted leave to have a bunny farm with Matt and Molly somewhere quiet where he could continue his research, write a few books...and maybe save the day a few more times.

He didn't need to be thanked. Though, he'd not argue if they decided to pay him a little better.

College was expensive. Even if Molly ended up not going and went into a trade instead, he wanted to be able to leave her something.
