[It's cute the way she defends his mother. It's cute in a way that makes his heart twist and relax at the same time and know he's right. He's completely right about her. His face does soften though, when she talks about them. The way she talks about them... he's aware she's an orphan. Pidge filled him in on her history after he decided that an internet search wasn't the best idea. He - can't imagine growing up without his family. Can't imagine how hard that must have been for her. He can guess but he knows its not the same and it makes him glad, all over again, that he sent her to his family. They love her and he knows she's good for them. He hasn't seen his grandmother so energetic since his grandfather died. But... it does his heart good to know that they're good for her too. That maybe they can give her a little bit more of what she missed out on.

There's a little huff from him at 'warm and sweet' but he doesn't disagree. And then he watches her face turn back to the sky and go wistful in a different way and he thinks, again, how completely beautiful she is in starlight. He sets down his soda to cup her cheek.]

Why don't I take you? We can't go far and we'll stay in radio contact in case you're needed but - Black can get us up out of the atmosphere and past the moon in a few ticks. If you have the time soon, I have the lion. We'll go up, write your name on the back of the moon and come back in time for dinner. How's that sound?
