Me either. I can't make heads or tails of the scraps I've run into...
[Good -- that's better. Let's talk about Mercy.]
She did, yeah. [He pauses. There's probably a better time to talk about this, but:] She wanted to know if it hurt. And ... if I wanted to get it replaced.
Be careful. From what we saw, looked like these peoples' Ingress blew up on them. If you can find any reason why... let us know.
[There's a sinking feeling in his chest. Wanting to be honest, but at the same time...]
When we find your family, I do.
[Because he knows what it means to her -- just like she probably knows his own feelings on it.] Everything else about it, I'll figure out on my own. But I won't take it away from you while you need it.
That's exactly what I'm looking into. But so far the notes that I've been finding don't imply that anything like that could happen. I'll keep looking, though.
[She goes thoughtfully quiet at his admission, frowning a little on her end. If she didn't need the damn thing so much, she'd tell Shiro to go for it - even if it is also just really cool.] ...Okay.
[And then she's shaking it off.] As soon as Dad and Matt are safe, Hunk and I could probably even build you a new one ourselves.
[That's not fair, Shiro. Your ability to boost her up like that is just so pure.
And simultaneously make her feel guilty for even thinking that Shiro would just get his arm replaced without saying anything to her.] Yeah, I know. I trust you. I guess I'm just kind of... frustrated. Being stuck over here is really annoying.
I'll tell Hunk. When we're all together, I mean. There's enough information between the two of us to be able to put something together.
Yeah. And I guess that's not even remotely surprising... Do you feel frustrated too?
[For a split second, that comment confuses her. But then she kind of makes a snorting laugh sound.] What if it's red and blue and the purple just sort of happens on its own?
Yeah, I guess. [There's a pause while she just- frowns and reflects back on the last several months.] ...I really hate that none of us have figured out what to do next.
[Is he talking about Lance and Keith? He's talking about Lance and Keith. That actually makes Pidge snort.] I think when it comes to your arm, your opinion is kind of the only one we're gonna care about.
Yeah, I guess... [She pauses again, and Shiro can probably hear the gears turning in her head.] ...What do you think we'll find down here? I mean besides the, uh, you know. [Bodies.]
It does sound... kinda weird, but it'll be way better. [Talking about this possibility makes her smile a little, and it's audible in her voice.] We could probably install all sorts of cool stuff. All the best parts of the paladin armor, maybe even some of the tech we've seen over here.
I'm hoping more information on what happened here, if nothing else. Maybe supplies, at most.
[Definitely things besides bodies. Hopefully things besides bodies.]
Yeah, I know it will. Anything from you guys will be. [Same with him. He trusts them -- completely. And that's evident in his voice.] You're going to put wifi in it, aren't you?

... You know I would never take away your chance, not if I had a say in it. Right? You trust me?
[The keyword there being, if he had a say in it. Because if this thing keeps suddenly doing more random bizarre things, he might not.]
I think I'd like that. Actually, I think that's what I want. When we find your family, you better live up to that deal.

Date: 2017-01-26 05:42 am (UTC)It's all right. You're allowed to be frustrated here. I... think that's sort of a common sentiment, from what I've heard.
Do me a favor when you do? [Because also, he has complete faith they'll manage it, too.] No purple.

I think if that happened, you'd have more opinions to worry about than mine.
