AW HINATA OKAY LOOK Royce gave Hinata a hard time out of like... idk, potential? Because Hinata is a smart kid even if he is a big weenie. Royce thinks that if Hinata sucked less at killing people, he could be like Royce - which nobody wants, because why would you want two Royces running around seriously
He appreciated that Hinata never trusted him. Everybody was quick to defend Royce a few times but the fact that Hinata was never... hostile, just suspicious, really resonated well with Royce. Like a "yes good that's the kind of thing I like to see" type deal. Kind of like Max, Royce sees Hinata as a person who can turn out to not completely suck and he just wants to make sure that Hinata doesn't screw himself over by being a goody-two shoes.
but then again Royce has screwed himself over several times by not trusting anybody so HEY, maybe Hinata's way is the way to go
