It's fine, Pidge. [He laughs and steps inside with Black padding in behind him. The lion settles down the moment they're inside and subtly Shiro does the same.]

I wanted to see where you've been working that I'm allowed to and, well, [He spreads his hands.] I have a small problem I was hoping you might be able to solve.

I can't talk in animal or bird shape. Drawing out letters takes too long in what could be a crisis situation. I was wondering if there's any way you could either create some kind of translator for animal sounds or, a collar maybe that would transmit my thoughts while I'm shapeshifting. Black won't talk to anyone but Keith and me.

We're not always going to be on the same missions and even that is too slow in a crisis.
