She knows there's more to it. She knows that there's a lot he's bottling up. They all do it and she's seen Shiro do it plenty of times--seen Kuron do it even.

Pushing wasn't going to do any good though, nor would prying. Pidge couldn't begin to fathom what he was going through right now and as much as she did want to help, as much as she did want to be useful, the best way to do that was to respect what he was asking.

In the roundabout way he was doing it.

So she nods, giving him an understanding look before it melts into amusement as she snorts and shakes her head.

"Pretty sure small worm-like organisms was what you guys were expecting to find," she drawled as she wiped her eyes one more time before easing to her feet and looking at her scanner again. "Not purple pointed eared creatures or multi-legged caterpillar cat aliens." Just to name a few. Pidge can't help but relax more now as she glances up from the scanner to Shiro and smiles, looking to the remains of his arm in the next moment. "I think I should be able to at least shut off everything so it's not as hyper-sensitive to sensations. That'll give Hunk and I time to design and build you a new arm from some of the scrap supplies that we have. It may take a few tries to get it working properly but with the information I have now I should be able to get it as close to your old one's response time as possible."
