[You know what, after finding out your arch enemy had your job, and your commanding person wasn't going to tell you about it? Something's got to give. Namely, his stress levels.]
[So he sends a mass text to the others.]
Hey, just want to let you know, I'm helping a friend with something for a day or so.
I'll be out of the house. But if you need me, message. I'll be back soon.
[Because he can't just disappear on them -- hahaha. He owes them something of an explanation, even if he'll... probably save responses that aren't emergency-related until after he talks to said friend.]

[There's a bright grin, even as the gears can be seen turning behind Pidge's eyes, mentally filing this information away for later access.] Nice. I'll check it out sometime.
[But then there are tech things to talk about so Pidge refocuses, ready to get started.] For sure. Bring it on, let's get a look.

[It takes him a good bit to respond. But.]
... What.
... What.
Alright... [he pulls out a couple of ipad lookin' things.] So, I'm gonna plug it into these. It's gonna make a bunch of holo-frogs because I did that when I first coded it.
[he unravels a small cord from the side of the amp and plugs it into the bottom. two or three green, transparent frogs hop off the pad as the OS loads up.]
You can keep one of these, if you want. It shows you the code as a physical thing to edit. Makes it easier! Especially when I was just learnin'!

[Pidge gives him an amused look at that - Holo frogs? Really? - but lets it go. Mostly because she's definitely done things like that in her early coding days. But seeing the frogs once they actually appear is pretty impressive, bringing a bright, excited smile to Pidge's face and a glimmer to her eyes.]
That is so cool! You really don't mind if I keep one of these?

[He almost texts her again in the quiet. Because of course he's worried. But... maybe she needs space. Maybe she's upset he's not there.]
[Maybe a dozen things.]
I'll try to.
I'm
[He honestly almost deletes that. But Pidge deserves more than a single sentence in answer.]
Talking with someone. For perspective. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

[He'd be 1000% wrong about those guesses.]
it's okay. and that's good.
i guess [She almost says that it's weird to not have him around, breaking up fights, looking out for everyone. But she decides against it.]
i guess it's up to me and hunk to make sure the place stays in one piece while you're gone, then

You think?
[It's sort of a rhetorical question. She doesn't have to answer it. But the next part...]
I
may have made a call under duress. About that.
[Please just hear him out, Pidge.]
Darin was... getting on my case. I'm not saying he was wrong to. But. I may have told him to look out for you guys. Partly because he was talking about leaving again.
So yes. Please do what you just said. Covertly.

yeah
[And she says that because she feels like he needs to hear it.]
he came by to tell me that. in full armor, apparently :P
anyway, i can be covert. i won't tell hunk, because i think he'll be better at keeping it covert if he doesn't know
why was he talking about leaving?

[He's trying out this emote thing. Because 'thanks' sounds... wrong, somehow. For the moment. Even if he is grateful for her saying so.]
Full armor? Do I want to know?
Thank you... and he... was talking like he thought we'd kick him out because Lance and Keith are here. For some reason. I guess part of me figured I should give him more reason to stick around than just ''I'm not moving your stuff for you so sit down''.
