Hey, it's Pidge. Can't answer right now-- Rover quit it! --so leave a message and I'll get back to you when I can.
Rover, what did I say--?!?!

I don't know.
[He feels like he's said that a lot, through all this. But it's still true. He doesn't know.]
Jean stayed here while he was unconscious. [The guy with the unfortunate haircut, riding an Aggron against Krieg the Loud Shirtless Man last night.] Neither did Hunk. But... [But obviously only Jean stayed.] I ended up in one because Haunter brought me to it.
So... there's no way to know.

[It's what he planned to do. If he could get the pokemon to calm down long enough to get everyone on the same page. Hearing someone echo his thoughts is oddly reassuring.]
Then he's staying.
[One more squeeze around her shoulders, before he sits back.]
... can you stay with him for a minute? I -- need a shirt and my 'gear.
[And maybe coffee. Definitely coffee.]

[Pidge just nods in the affirmative to both of those things, pulling herself back up onto her feet so she can move to sit on the edge of the bed where Shiro had been earlier. She idly reaches forward to pet Torracat as she moves, but other than that she just takes up her new position.]
If you have time, I'd... really like some coffee.

[Torracat is more accepting of pets than Espurr. She doesn't stop her pacing, but she butts her head up into Pidge's hand as she passes by.]
[For his part, Shiro pauses. Before reaching to squeeze her shoulder.]
Yeah. I'll get some.
Thank you, Pidge. [I'm glad you're still here.]

[Economics isn't Lance's strong suit either. He's just here for the action. And to be honest, it feels nice that Pidge is so willing to help him go up against a coffee rival without much questioning of Lance's motives. It's no aliens or robeats, but something simple and dumb. He kind of didn't expect it.]

oh and you gotta watch out for his barista
it's this stupid emo coffin hipster fuck with a ton of hands

[At the shoulder squeeze she shoots him a small, sympathetic smile. She knows this isn't easy for him. She knows how hard he keeps taking things like this, though she still doesn't get why. But she's happy to be there for him all the same.]
Of course.
Of course.
[There are so many reasons. Like how he wants the best for them all, like how he was hoping these moments would stop -- these life or death problems. But for now... he'll get her some coffee.]
[He'll look after her. Look after someone.]
[That's good enough for now.

Pidge.
I need you to do something for me.
I need you to do something for me.
Yes. Everything's fine.
Just come outside for a minute.

Porch.
[And when she arrives, there he is. Rainbow hair fluff, awful Alolan shirt, worn shorts, sunglasses. And Skarmory behind him, idly pecking at his arm.]
Get on, Pidge. We're going shopping.

You can thank Lance. He did all the work.
[And he did a great job, if you ask Shiro.]
Clothes. For Matt's observatory event.

Of course he did. [Because who the hell else in this house would know how to do that?
No one. That is all Lance.]
Oh. [She pauses, head tilting slightly in thought.] I didn't think it'd be formal or anything. Are we getting you out of your beach look?
No one. That is all Lance.]

It's not. But you're his family, the rest of us are his friends, and I'm... [Oh god he still can't say it in front of her.] Me.
I'm going formal.
You guys just need ... something that isn't beach wear.
