Kuron appreciated it, Lance's willingness and Shiro's encouragement, more than he knew how to put int words. He'd figure it out one day but for now he was more than happy to follow where Lance led. Get a new perspective of things as only Lance can give.

"Hey Shiro," she replied without missing a beat, unable to help but smile at the use of her name. Even now he was still one of the only ones that ever used it. Not that she cared about names; Pidge had grown on her. But it was still nice to hear her real name, to know that people outside of her family knew it.

Then again, Shiro was family wasn't he?

Starting to say something else, the words almost forming, almost falling out of her mouth, Katie stopped herself and glanced off to the side. There was an awkward moment where she shifted her weight from one foot to the other and tapped her fingers against her leg, chewing on her bottom lip as she fought with herself about how to approach this. She had to be smooth, had to not be too emotional or let them dictate everything she was going to say because who knew what was going to spill out if that happened.

"Could..could we talk?" she finally managed to get out, looking at him as she reached up to fiddle with her glasses. "If--I mean, if you aren't busy. I can--of course you're busy, you were just reading and I should just come back some other time, shouldn't I? I just wanted to get some information from your arm. For your arm, so I can work on putting together specs for something new, you know? And I, well there are some other things I wanted to talk to you about but it's really no big deal.."

And this was the exact opposite of what she'd wanted to do.
