[Some time passes while Pidge watches back the recording. Not because she doesn't believe what anyone has been telling her, but because she wants a more objective view.]
I'm not sure what you've learned about us in the time you've known Shiro, but we've had to learn to react to aggressive nonverbal cues in order to stay alive. Protecting one another is second nature, and with the number of times we've lost each other in this place it's no wonder Shiro reacted the way he did when you and Thace reacted the way *you* did. Aggression is aggression. Honestly I've taken hits for less.
Here's my problem. You didn't just make Shiro uncomfortable. I'm not doing this for him, because he's actually a big boy who can handle himself. I'm not even doing this for Lance, because he's an idiot and yeah what he said was fucked up even though he was clearly just saying it because he wanted someone to take Shiro on an *actual date* and that wasn't going according to plan. You guys lashed out at him with your own nasty "aiming to hurt" comment, assuming the worst about him, all hopped up on testosterone and tensed like you were ready to throw down, and then didn't even bother apologizing to him for it when Shiro told you to stand down. That is some serious bullshit and you know it.
