[If one of her best friends could go by Zer0, then clearly there was no problem with a stranger going by Pidge. Really, it didn't sound all that odd. Better than Flanksteak or Nine-Toes.]

I'd love to meet them. I... could use more friends around my age. [She was assuming they were close to her age, at least. Shiro seemed to be, and unless he was like her -- hanging out with those far older than her, she could at least assume that his friends were near his age.]

I know it.... likely seemed like it was difficult, but I assure you it wasn't. And it was worth it, to help a friend.
