For someone who spent most of her time with a digital screen and a keyboard in front of her, Pidge found that walking about the starfield of her lionspace with Green helped her focus more. The two ambled companionably about the expanse, the Paladin's hand resting against the lion's shoulder gently. It had seemed somewhere between a breath and an eternity since they'd last seen the comets streak over head and Green had made its somewhat enigmatic musing.

Pidge nibbled on her lower lip and glanced up at one of the many nebulae that seemed to ghost across the celestial view. For a brief moment she wondered if the stars were random or corresponded to something out in the real world. There was still so much of the universe that she hadn't seen even with having been wormholed far from the Milky Way and its familiar makeup.

'Your curiosity is adorable, little one. I am glad to have you as my Paladin.'came the amused purr from beside her as the lion walked slowly. 'I do not know if this exists outside of my being, but the universe is an amazing thing.'

"It is… " Pidge blushed at the leading comment from Green and rubbed at the bridge of her nose with her free hand, "It almost seems impossible to have this much in one place, though. I'd prefer to think that it's unique and… well… mine. Yours and mine. Our own little cosmos full of starstuff."

'It will always be here for you, little bird.' The switch in how the lion refers to her caused Pidge to blink a few times, having not heard that fond moniker since she was little. 'There is a gathering place beyond this, though. It is where all five lions meet and is something of a hub, but does not belong to one of us specifically to the best of our knowledge. That's where the others will be when you all are ready.'

Pidge's eyebrows threatened to climb into her hairline as she listened, eyes widening a fraction as the concept sank in. She was quiet for a bit, listening to the softness of their paired footfalls through lionspace, gazing off vaguely into the distance. Green turned its head slightly to regard her and, if the girl had been watching, she would have seen the emerald muzzle curl up in a small smile.

'Did I start a puzzle in your head, my girl?'

"Gathering place. A hub. Somewhere that's part of the Lions… but at the same time it's not." Pidge moved her free hand to curl in front of her mouth, fingers toying with her lower lip with a spark in her eyes that told her lion that there were indeed gears turning in that tousled head. When she stopped, the lion paused as well, angling to better face her. Breaths came and went in silence before the amber-brown eyes of the Green Paladin's gaze locked forward and popped as widely as her face would allow.

"That's it! That'd be perfect!" She practically shouted into the silence, though Green's ears didn't fall back at the volume and instead swiveled forward alertly. "You said that it was a shame that Shiro couldn't come to a place like this. He doesn't have a lion anymore and Black is bonded with Keith so he couldn't pull two people in there, I'd guess. But… that hubspace, it's like a blank slate, a landing pad."

Her eyes flicked to and locked on to the golden ones of Green gazing at her and Pidge's fingers swiftly moved to bury deep into the fur of her lion's muzzle. A bright grin spreads across her face and she presses her forehead to the lion's.

"We could pull him in. Maybe. We've all seen each other on the astral plane before when we tried that one bonding and didn't know he was stuck in Black. I mean, it makes some sense, as much as anything can make sense in this… lionspace and I've got about as much mystical knowledge as a bowl of food goo. Maybe Allura can help us all link up or something and we can pull him in. What do you think?" The words tumble out of her mouth in the rapid-fire all-or-nothing rush that comes when she's fervently excited about an idea. It almost leaves Pidge panting when she's done and she almost wants to hold her breath waiting for a response.

'Indeed. I gave you quite the puzzle, and you found enough pieces to make a picture. Well done, little bird.' Green rumbled with the most profuse pride that washes over Pidge like a warm wave, the pair glowing a little brighter for a moment. 'I think it's time to go find the others. You need their pieces to get this going. Hop on.'

Raising her head from Green's, Pidge gasps slightly seeing that the head she had cradled in her fingers has expanded and grown and she looked up at something that her brain wants to register as way more than pony-sized. Purring reassurance and amusement, the lion reclined beside her so its back is more accessible and nosed her playfully until an answering grin spreads across the Paladin's face. She practically launched herself onto the offered back and grips fur in her fingers with very little urging.

"Let's go, Green!"

Green provided an answering roar that echoes across the starfield before it launches into a dead run. No easy lope to start with and Pidge whooped in delight as the stars, nebulae, and other phenomena blur as they gain speed. She glanced just up over her lion's ears to see the comets streak above them again and head for the horizon that is rapidly growing whiter. Her breath caught in her throat when another begins to catch up to them, this one an oddly familiar white tinged with teal. Paladin and Lion barely had time to register the new arrival as the expanse around them went white…
