Rover, what did I say--?!?!

[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_out]

[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.

[shiro2hero]

[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.]

[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.

[shiro2hero]

[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.
