[Pidge is very much the type to have a routine, certainly, and he'll eventually be glad to know she still revels in the same indoorsy things that she used to. But he is surprised, generally, to see her looking more like the girl that he teased her for dating so early on. (Before he discovered that 'she' wasn't a 'he', and that delighted girl was in the presence of a beloved brother.)]

[It's not a bad surprise at all. Just startling.]

Uhhh just- [He has to snap out of the bewilderment.] Just a few weeks ago! Not too long. I was doing a lot of walking and culinary research. [More than just eating, too. He was trying to learn new recipe, especially since he wasn't sure what ingredients would line up with Earth-normal ones.]

[He ends up extending his arms in an offer of a big hug.] Wow, this place made me miss out! You grew up on me. [Not that he was significantly older than her or anything? But the passage of time is definitely there.]
