[ A raspy but strong voice comes over the intercom, speaking loudly and authoritatively. ]

Paladins! This is Keith. Sound off! Pidge, Hunk, Allura, Lance?

We should meet, and soon.

[ A moment's hesitation, then: ]

Atlas crew, come in. This is Voltron. Requesting a status report. This is our sixty-second attempt. Repeat, come in Atlas crew.

I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm just--

[ A frustrated sigh. ]

Forget it. You coming tonight? Bring food if you can.

[pidgeypidge]

Look, I just don't want you to be too disappointed if things don't work out the way you're hoping.

[Says the girl who absolutely gets her hopes up for things.]

I'll try. This place is weird. What kind of food?

[undeserted]

It doesn't matter.

[ He sounds awkward now, and a little ashamed. ]

I, uh. I don't really have any. Just chips.

[pidgeypidge]

It matters to me if it matters to you.

[This seems pretty obvious, Keith. WTF.]

Wait, you don't have any food? Do I need to drag you shopping?

[undeserted]

No! I'm fine. I mean I don't--

[ Ugggh. ]

I can't really buy a whole lot.

[pidgeypidge]

You don't...?

[Fortunately, she's already distracted by the thought of him starving to death.]

That's fine. I'll get it~

[And probably pounce hug him so he gets more Chroma out of the deal.]

[undeserted]

No, don't. I'll go myself, Pidge. Just get here, all right?

[pidgeypidge]

Let's compromise. We'll go together.

[Because Keith can be kind of grumpy sometimes, and she probably has more Chroma than he does.]

But not tonight. Okay?

[undeserted]

...Okay.

You're all right though, yeah? This has been a lot to adjust to.

[pidgeypidge]

Good.

[She opens her mouth to answer that question, and then promptly closes it again. It should be a straightforward answer, but...]

Yea, I'm.... fine. It's just a lot of things to adjust to, like you said.

[undeserted]

[ He still sucks at this, but fuck it, he's gonna try. ]

If you ever wanna...talk to me, about that city you came from, I'm here. Okay?

[pidgeypidge]

[Okay, that was probably the last thing she would've been expecting him to say, but she appreciates it just the same.]

Ah, thanks... I'll keep that in mind.
