A/N: Note! If you haven't read I Don't See You, this will be slightly confusing!

Taking place between chapters Through a Lion's Eyes and (Not)In Plain Sight, this story will be a lot of Pidge adjusting to her blindness. Primarily humor and fluff, I may throw in a bit of angst every now and again.

I'm totally open to suggestions!

Pidge strode easily down the hall, mentally counting steps. She turned at an intersection, reaching out with one hand to brush the wall and ensure she had turned at the proper time.

Hearing soft, slow footsteps ahead, Pidge greeted, "Hey, Keith."

The steps stopped, so Pidge did as well. She reached up and flicked on the EVOR, giving her a basic view of the surroundings.

"We're coming up on a planet that Coran says has spices and edible plants. Hunk wants to stop and pick some stuff up."

"Inhabited?" Pidge asked.

"No. I don't think Shiro's ready for that yet."

Pidge smirked. Despite Shiro's "encouragement" to get Pidge flying Green again two weeks before, he still didn't seem to think she was ready to be in places with a chance of running into Galra.

"Are we all going?" Pidge asked.

The shape of Keith's shoulders blurred, meaning he had shrugged. "If you want to."

"Yes! I need the practice navigating in new places, anyway," Pidge said enthusiastically.

Keith chuckled. "Okay, but don't stand within a hundred feet of anything steeper than a small hill, or Shiro will freak out."

Pidge laughed. "Got it."

Pidge and Keith went to their lions' hangers. Pidge sighed in relief as she sat in the pilot chair and turned off the EVOR. She opened her mind to Green, and images of the hanger and widening view of outdoors as the hanger doors opened flooded her mind.

Pidge flew Green outside, drinking in the view of the lush, meadowy planet Coran had directed them to. She could see the paladins wandering around down below, but decided to fly Green for a bit longer.

Green hovered at the height of the top of the Castle. The planet was mostly flat and grassy, with the occasional clump of trees and bushes. Small animals wandered through the grass. A deer-like animal lifted its branchy head -the antlers much more leaves than anything remotely normal- to gaze serenely at the paladins before going back to grazing.

After several more minutes, Pidge was ready to land. Finding the flattest spot near the others, Pidge landed Green.

Pidge gave a small sigh as she stood and turned on the EVOR. In order for the EVOR to keep up, Pidge had walk slower than she preferred.

"Hey, Pidge!" Lance called as Pidge emerged from Green's mouth.

His quick steps sort of skipped over, and Lance's form appeared in front of her a moment later. Then something tickled Pidge's nose, making her sneeze.

"Oops, sorry." The tickling disappeared. "I just wanted to show you what Hunk found."

Pidge sniffed. "Is that… coco?"

"Yep," Lance said happily. "But it's a green plant. Coran says we can use it to make tea. Can you imagine, Pidge? Chocolate tea!"

"Are you sure you want to try something that Coran suggests?" Pidge asked with a grin.

"Hm, you're right. Maybe I can convince Keith to be the guinea pig."

Lance was gone again before Pidge could respond. Shaking her head, Pidge made her way over to where Shiro was sitting on the ground near Hunk.

"Pidge," Shiro said.

"Hey." Pidge sat down beside Shiro. She turned her head toward Hunk, who was moving around too fast for her to see what he was doing. "What's Hunk doing?"

"Harvesting." Shiro said. "He said a lot of the plants here smell like Earth herbs."

"I can't wait to try these," Hunk said excitedly. "This is thyme here, and this has a garlicy scent that I hope transfers to food."

"Only you could get so excited over plants," Pidge said.

"When you taste real food for the first time in space, you will appreciate these 'plants' as well," Hunk said with a superior sniff.

"Whatever, I'll leave the plant gathering to you," Pidge said, standing.

"Don't wander too far off," Shiro said.

"I won't, don't worry," Pidge said, waving her hand at Shiro.

Hearing Allura and Coran speaking, Pidge wandered over to them. Allura was seated on the ground. She was working on something in her lap, occasionally reaching out a hand to pluck some flowers before going back to her project. Coran was standing quite properly behind her. He was wearing… a flower crown?

"Coran, what are you wearing?" Pidge asked with a grin.

"A flower tiara," Coran said, as if that were perfectly normal.

Allura's dressed rustled, then something light was dropped on Pidge's head. She reached up and felt soft flower petals.

"Really, Allura?" Pidge asked.

"It has been over ten thousand years since I made one of these," Allura said with a smile in her voice.

Pidge sighed, but indulged Allura by not removing the "tiara." She did, however, move on, before Allura could try any new flower accessories.

Pidge wandered through the field, making sure to move slowly so the EVOR could keep up. She glanced back, and was surprised to see that the paladins and lions some distance away now.

"Better head back before anyone worries," Pidge murmured to herself.

"Nah, Shiro's been watching you the whole time."

Pidge jumped and spun toward Keith's voice. His form stood from where he had been sitting in front of a bush. Something dangled around his neck that hadn't been there before.

"Allura got to you, too, huh?" Keith asked.

Pidge cocked her head, then raised a hand to the flower tiara. "Yeah. Wait, 'too?'"

"What, you think I normally wear flower necklaces?"

"How did she convince you to wear that?" Pidge asked with a giggle. "Threaten to get sentimental on you?"

"She started talking about how she used to make these as a little girl on Altae," Keith said. "It seemed wrong to take it off after that. No matter how… flowery it is."

Pidge grinned, then changed the subject. "What are you doing here by yourself?"

"Same as everyone else. Picking flowers."

Pidge plopped onto the ground. "Don't let Hunk hear you call his herbs flowers."

Pidge reached out a hand, closing it on the first plant it came in contact with. She plucked the plant and brought it up to her nose to smell.

"Pepperminty," Pidge commented. "This would make some good tea." Pidge reached for another plant to take a sniff of. "Hm, spearmint."

"There's a difference?" Keith asked.

"Uh, yeah! How could you not know that? Don't tell me you haven't had gum before!"

"I have!" Keith said defensively. Lower, he added, "I just thought that they were the same flavor with a different color."

"Oh, wow, I have to tell Hunk!" Pidge stood and yelled, "Hey, Hunk!"

"Could we not?" Keith huffed.

Grinning smugly, Pidge went on, "You'll never guess what I found out!"

"Pidge!"
