[It is not this day.]

Hm. [She considers it for another moment, then simply drapes it over her arm.] I'll think about it for now, I guess.

Have you found anything you like yet?

[shiro2hero]

Take your time. We've got all day.

[He frowns a bit, turning to rifle through the section of "black". Black, black and very very very dark grey.]

Not yet.

[pidge_out]

[She watches Shiro for a moment with a thoughtful look on her face. She's the wrong person for him to be shopping with. He should be on this trip with Hunk or Lance. They'd have better opinions on what he ought to wear.]

Um- Does it have to be something black?

[shiro2hero]

[He's the one who's supposed to be impressing people here, isn't he? The guy who needs to. As a show of support.]

[And... he's lost.]

I guess not? But that's... what I'm used to?

[pidge_out]

Oh.

[Well now what is Pidge supposed to say? Clothes are not her Thing, she did not think this through.]

Um-- I'm sure Matt or Lance would have better advice on this than me.

[shiro2hero]

It's fine, Pidge. I didn't ask you here because this is your thing.

Don't worry.

[He wants you here because friendship and bonding okay.]

[pidge_out]

[Honestly? Hearing that comes as a huge relief.]

Okay. Good. Cool.

[She even smiles a little as she goes back to perusing through all the different articles of clothing.]

Just friends awkwardly shopping together?

[shiro2hero]

That's exactly what this is. And... maybe making sure we don't wear anything stupid. I think we can handle that much.

[Hopefully, anyway.]

How's this? [As he holds up an outfit.]

[pidge_out]

[Her smile just grows a little bit. Hopefully is right.] We can try.

[She looks up when he calls out, eyes darting to the outfit he's pulled together and looking it up and down. She makes an impressed noise, nodding thoughtfully.] Yeah, that- that looks really nice. Are you gonna try it on?

[shiro2hero]

[He looks it over too, chewing his lip. Clearly undecided. But Pidge thinks it looks okay...]

Maybe. Think I should?

[Also he will, if she tries on that other thing.]

[pidge_out]

[If there's at least one thing Pidge can do in this situation, it's help encourage him to do a thing like Try On Clothes.]

Yeah, definitely! See if you like it and if it fits, or whatever.

[And maybe she'll try things on, too. Let her gather more data options first.]

[shiro2hero]

[You're doing amazing, pidgeon.]

Okay then. I'll try this... when you try something.

[That way, they have solidarity in "what if this looks stupid."]

[pidge_out]

[Pidge shoots him a look that's simultaneously "How dare you" and "I see you what you did there."]

I'll try something when you've picked at least two outfit options.

[shiro2hero]

Oh. Rude.

[He goes digging in the racks again, regardless.]

[There's got to be some decent black outfits.]

[pidge_out]

[Pidge smiles to herself, resuming her own search on her end.]

Let me know when you've got number two!

[shiro2hero]

Ugh... there's no... why does everything black look like it's made for snow?

[It takes him a while.]

[But finally he pulls out one... nearly identical to the other. But he tried.]
