[Penny had been avoiding Pidge for the last week or so. Avoiding all her friends, really. Which was still mostly just Pidge. None of their usual between-classes chatter or afternoon and evening Snipjabber messages trading homework questions and advice. Not even one of Penny's frequent forwarded cat memes with a 'thought of you, lol' text. Radio silence.]
[It was probably fine.]
[But regardless, it had come to an end - Penny gave a small start as she noticed Pidge approaching, before giving a short, slightly jerky, too-energetic wave. The sunglasses she was wearing weren't that unusual for the approaching summer weather, but the knit wool cap looked a little warm.]
Pidge, salutations!
[At least the wide smile at seeing her friend was the same as always; or at least it was for the brief instant it crossed Penny's face before she clamped her mouth tightly shut.]
no monsters here, only modern au shenanigans, you can't prove otherwise, shh
