Sometimes it was easy to forget how young she was, considering how adult she acted and how amazing her intelligence and problem solving was.
And then something would happen and -
Shiro turned off the pad and set it aside at a distance, wanting to be very clear in his indication that he wasn't going to reach for it again soon and it wasn't important.
"My arm," he indicated to the ruin of it. She and Hunk had already dismantled what they could but it would take invasive surgery to get the rest out of him and they didn't have that ability right now. Mostly he kept the metal and dangling wires wrapped in cloth and had an awkward pressure sling to keep it from bumping or getting caught on anything. "Sure. I've got time. Do you want to come up here or do we need to go back to Green for the scans?"
He'd gotten a lot more mellow about his arm since he'd come back from the dead. He'd always been just a little self-conscious about it, a little sensitive, always hated it a little bit and yet needed it almost addictively, something he now wondered suspiciously a bit more at. But - he'd died - and come back to find it ruined and as awkward as that made a lot of things - it didn't bother him the way he knew it once would have. He wondered if it bothered Kuron more but it hadn't really come up in conversation yet. Still, better Pidge prod at him than his twin considering.
If it was his arm she really wanted to prod at to begin with.
