[Pidge spends that beat of silence running her fingers over the feathers on the top of Rover's head, just keeping her gaze fixed on what she could see of his face as he relaxed into the touch. She doesn't move her gaze when Keith speaks up again either, her lips simply pulling into a small frown.]
Shiro's... from just a little bit ahead of you. Hunk was ahead of us first, and then Lance and I kind of caught up to him recently. And yeah, a lot happens in the time between us. Some of them are pretty messed up.
There are some things that... We just don't want to stress Shiro out here. [She finally glances up again, and while she does look genuinely sorry for having kept secrets from her team, she doesn't regret the decision she made.] He's actually happy here. If we tell him about what's waiting for him back home, he'll just stress about things that he can't do anything about.
