[Even after having seen her do this once before, Shiro doesn't think he'll ever get used to Allura making use of her shape-shifting abilities. It's not unsettling, mind you, just...surreal. He blinks, once, twice, before his mouth spreads into an easy grin.]

What do I think? I think you look just fine the way that you are. Let me guess: this is for fitting in on Earth?

[She nods,]

Coran and I came to the agreement that this would be for the best. At least until we know how the humans will react.

[Pidge's dad was supposedly preparing them for the reality of alien invasion, but there's no way to tell how prepared they'll be for living, breathing, aliens until they're there.]

when you think you've already replied oof

Sounds like a good plan, from a tactical point of view.

[Looks-wise, anyway, which brings an idea right to the forefront of Shiro's mind.]

Not that I expect any problems, but are you more or less up to date with human customs? I'll be the first to admit that we're probably not the best ambassadors for that sort of thing, but if needed, I can help?

It's ok I definitely just accidentally deleted the notif without responding too.

[At this, she waves the small data pad she'd brought over,]

That was part two. I had Coran assemble a comprehensive list of human customs, including slang and phrases, and I thought I might practice them on you, if that is alright?

[Ahem.]

I mean, if that would be... radical... for you?

blows dust off of this

[headlion]

[Radical. Gah. It's even worse when he can't even tell if she meant it in extreme or late 1980s surfer lingo fashion. Shiro tries not to flinch or cringe--]

That's...a good way to start. Although, to be honest, we humans don't refer to things as radical that much anymore. It has several connotations that can be seen as...

[Outdated.]

...confusing and as trying too hard.
