[Keep running toward where Lance is so he beats him, or stop and answer Pidge? Reason says do the latter, but his heart says do the former. There's a grunt of frustration as if he can't decide as he connects with her, coming to a halt.

Lance can wait. And Lance can shut up. He's not late because he's got any reason to be late. Pidge got back to him, and this—

This is important.]

It's just like those guys—I'm not surprised that ALASTAIR would just send him away. They probably didn't even give him much of a chance to do anything about it.

[Besides, Keith is the one to rush off alone without saying good-bye. Not Shiro. Never Shiro.

He's aware of that, too.]

Hey, uh, I'm meeting up with Lance. We're headed to your room, okay?

[reverseengineer]

...yeah, that's okay.

[She almost wants to protest, say that they don't need to. But they're a team. They have to deal with things as a team. It's what Shiro would want.]

I'll just... be here.

[secondnature]

All right. See you soon.

[The message ends there. They could pretend this doesn't bother them, but they would all know that they're lying about it.]
