He rests his head in his hands, wondering what to do next. Think, Lance, think. You can be smart when you want to be.]

Wait, Pidge. If you go back to New Bark, there's a lab there with an old guy, Professor Elm. He's next door to the Mom house. He'll heal up the owl. It'll be a shorter trip to go back there than it is to try and get to Cherrygrove alone.

[And he can't come get her, not without taking days.]
