"Wow, I thought he was you for a half a second. You guys could seriously be twins." He can tell they're not only because it looks like there's at least a slight age difference. "Mabel and I could totally confuse people with the right clothes and haircut, too."
He looks at the old Pidge, with long hair, dressed more like a girl, and wonders what brought on the change. It feels like it's not his business to ask, though. Maybe it's to honor her brother or something. Or maybe she just wanted a haircut or whatever, what does it even matter?
She's the kind of pretty where it comes through no matter how she's dressed. Like with those giant brown eyes and -- annd he decides he needs to stop thinking about how pretty she is before his face turns redder. (Even if she wasn't pretty, pretty isn't everything.)
"You'll find him. And your dad."
He looks up at her and hands the picture back.
"My Grunkle Stan got into a fight with my Great Uncle Ford and accidentally knocked him through an interdimensional portal and it took him like 30 years of trying to find his brother again, but he fixed up the portal and found him." He realizes that's a long time, so that's probably not encouraging, so he adds, "And it only took him that long because he didn't know anything about science or engineering? So he didn't know how to interpret Ford's notes. With how smart you are, I bet you'll be able to find your dad and brother a million times faster."
