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--?!?!

[She kind of wants to continue being annoyed with Kuro for that. But when Shiro just goes and starts laughing, the sound is so real and genuinely joyful that Pidge can't help it. She starts laughing, too.
It's just so good to see him like this.
Of course, revenge is still in order. So she starts trying to rub the saliva out of her hair and onto Shiro's shirt.]

[Pidge starts laughing -- oh, man. That's good to hear. Good to hear any of them laugh. He almost wants to calm down and revel in it -- but -- but then she goes and smears Kuro slobber all over his shirt.]
[Which only makes him laugh harder.]
Good -- good luck! Do you know what Aggron eats? [He lifts his right hand, and, obediently, the big metal dinosaur gently clamps his jaw around it.]
I've been ... getting slobber all over me for years.

Man, I sure hope that happens. Do you know how much dough we could make off of selling tickets watching Keith get mobbed by a bunch of crumbsnatchers?
[Lance is pretty sure that whenever they get back to Earth, he could set up a worldwide feed of his niece and nephew tackling Mullet Boy. He won't even need to share the financial proceeds, just give the kids some candy and they'll be satisfied.]
It sounds kind of like gambling? Or like cockfighting, only there's no blood, no one dies, no chickens, and it's legal. Plus the Pokemon enjoy it.

[Pidge snorts, amused by the thought.] Well technically we'd probably only get anything out of it if Keith decides not to fight back. And honestly? I have no idea where he'd draw the line on that.
[But whatever. Pidge figures that so long as Shiro doesn't catch them in the act and start lecturing them, it would still be worth a shot.]
That's what I think, too. But Rover keeps trying to fight all of Shiro's bigger Pokémon, so I'm really gonna have to let him go fight outside.

[It's a while before she finally actually replies. Primarily because she actually does it and, probably to Lance's surprise, without asking about it first.]
holy crow, where'd you get this??
[She even sends back a picture of her holding the cup up with a grin, just to prove that she found the right thing.]

no te lo cuento porque es secreto
[He's such a dick. But he'll tell her if she really wants to know. It's not actually confidential information.]

nope
no favor
i don't want anything from you or shiro
[Except for them not to toss him away when they don't need him anymore but boy, is Lance not saying THAT out loud.]

w o w rude
first a thief, now someone with ulterior motives
see if i ever get you a christmas gift now!
[Goodness. You get a girl a Porygon and she side-eyes you. :P]
you're welcome
also i don't know if you noticed but there's a straw cap thing so you don't accidentally spill your drink on your tech
if it doesn't work, let me know so i can get it redone

it's just that you've been really into the gift-giving lately! when did you decide to be the household santa claus?
[She only side-eyes him because these are super legitimately nice, thoughtful gifts and it makes her feel like she's missing something.]
i noticed! seriously this is really great and i love it. you're officially off the hook for the next 3 disasters you cause ;D

no reason
i just saw things and i got them
i got keith one too but i can't give it to him
i still don't know what to get matt though
[Which is a little bit of a lie. He does get the things without thinking of much aside from "This person will like this.", but after the gifts are handed over, thanks are given in return, Lance is left alone with the thought that maybe this is the only way he is useful in the house. Shiro won't let him give money towards the house funds and he doesn't know anything about tech to the level Pidge does to help her tinker with things. So money is the only option he has left. Buying tangible items that hopefully have them saying "Oh hey, Lance got me this. He gives good gifts. Maybe we can keep him around for that if nothing else."
So yes, Pidge is missing something but it's not her fault if Lance never airs his feelings. She ain't psychic.]
only 3? i was thinking that was worth at least 5 disasters!

you also had things specially made
[Which is... super sweet. It's the kind of thing she knows to expect from Hunk, but this is Lance, and... She really does feel bad to have so little to give in return.]
i think matt's happy as long as you keep him caffeinated when he goes to work
and it definitely would've been worth 5 if you'd hidden the best coffee from your shop inside

well i made myself one too so it's really not that big of a deal
[And it shouldn't be, but deep down it is. And Lance hates himself a little for it.]
i tried, but my shift manager is being a dick and not letting us take home the bags that are close to expiring anymore
i could dig them out of the dumpster but who wants dumpster coffee

why wouldn't i?
what's the use of a cup if you don't have coffee to put in it
besides, if i bring the good stuff there's no way anybody else would bring that shack crap here

i was gonna pay for it, pidge
it's not stealing if i give them money for it
jeez oh ye of little faith
there's this guy who runs a coffee shop out of a train car he fixed up and it looks like shit and he keeps parking it in front of every starmiebucks he can find and stealing our customers

[Lance stop mid-stride to the front door and grimaces. There goes that bit of fun.]
Crap, you're right. Keith would probably take them on like they were grown adults. Let's abort that plan.
[Shiro can't watch them all 24/7. Imagine the shenanigans they can get up to here now that they aren't stuck in the Castle.]
Maybe he can fight Kaltenecker? She always wants to fight too so maybe they can tire each other out. Loser buys lunch?
