[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.]
