Hype Train Toot Toot! // Canon is Voltron: Legendary Defender

[liongoddess]

Well, well. I can't say I'm terribly surprised. I must thank you for your loyalty to Arus over the years, Mun.

Though...I can't just go along without mentioning--your, erm, 'creative' designs for myself and the Paladins are premature at best. [And frankly troubling at worst. Let a girl breathe, for crying out loud!]

I know you've gone quite a while without going in this deep, but in all seriousness, leave the 'ships' to those who can pilot, won't you?

It's the "right now" that bothers me.

[Because that implies future potential pain.]

[liongoddess]

[Fair.]

Well, you have at least a full rotation before reality becomes a concern.

[But when does reality ever play a part in the whims of those who puppet them?]

[greenlioness]

You really think so?

[Pidge!mun is snickering. Such optimism!]

[liongoddess]

[Optimism, or naïveté?]

Well. I mean. I suppose anything's possible, right?

[Her voice goes up an octave, betraying her uneasiness. The question ultimately is--who will Pidge be shipped with, first?]

[greenlioness]

[To-may-to, to-mah-to.]

Guess I better enjoy the quiet while it lasts then.

[Because she's not totally buying that you're convinced yourself. Also, that's a very good question.]

[liongoddess]

Hmmn. [Her money's on Shiro. He's compatible with anyone.]

So...just curious, speaking between us...friends--[Uh-oh. Here's that awkward, stilted delivery that warns Podge that Allura is about to get personal .]

...if you had to rank them, the Paladins--in order of most favorable to court to least favorable...

Why would you even ask me that?!

[liongoddess]

[Oh dear.]

Is that an unusual question? [A little empathy, Allura? Maybe?] I don't mean to be rude, I just--I thought that's...[Maybe human girls don't talk about those things.]

It's meant to be funny! L-like a game!!

[Help someone please how do you big sister?????]

[greenlioness]

No, it's not that rare, I guess. I don't know; nobody's asked me about what guys I thought were cute before!

[Or, knowing Pidge and her totally excellent shut up social skills, somebody asked but they phrased it in a way where it flew over her head.]

I mean, I never really thought about it. At the Garrison I was trying to hide being a girl so I was paying more attention to whether or not somebody figured it out. Then we end up all the way across the galaxy piloting giant magic robot Lions and there was training to learn how to form Voltron...!

[And continuing to babble because somebody's a motormouth when flustered. Seriously, how do you little sister to a big sister?]

FINALLY GOT THIS ICON FOR THIS.

[liongoddess]

Well! Now's as good a time as any to ask!

[It didn't occur to Allura that Pidge might...prefer girls?...but that's because she's the only girl there and that was--pfft--just.]

Well! You're bright and have an [over] active brain! I'm sure if you think it over [out loud please out loud!] you can sort it out!

I'M SAD THAT MY HEAD SPENT THE LAST TWO DAYS THREATENING TO EXPLODE. THAT ICON IS PERFECT.

[greenlioness]

[Mun's about 90% sure Pidge is straight but won't discount the remaining 10% as a possibility. It's a "wait and see" kind of thing.]

[Pidge shifts uncomfortably, scratching the back of her head and looking like she'd rather be drinking more of that "nectar of the gods" that apparently doubles as a hair tonic.]

Um...well...Shiro's...Shiro. Then there's Lance who's...Lance. And Keith is...well...Keith. And Hunk is just Hunk.

[Off to a great start there, girl. Yup. Greeeeeeeat staaaaaart.]

My head (sinuses, really) know that life. Welcome back! ♥

[liongoddess]

[Oh, well. She gets you, Pidge. Seriously she does.]

Hmn. Yes. Those are all good points.

Thank you!

[greenlioness]

No, they're not. That didn't make sense even to me.

[Grumbling in annoyance at herself.]

Right now I guess I'm a little too focused on trying to be a good Paladin and even getting used to the guys before I start giggling over which guy I think is cute. Or something.

[Though she wouldn't be entirely opposed to girl time on some level. Heck, she kind of misses having long hair and wearing dresses. She's not super girly but she still enjoys being a girl sometimes.]

[liongoddess]

Of course. I completely understand, Pidge. [Honestly, Allura wouldn't have it any other way.]

I suppose I was just trying to...well, bond. As the only girls on the team, I mean.

[greenlioness]

[She grins.] I wouldn't mind that. Just sorry that I don't have a lot to gossip about.

[But she kind of hopes that girl bonding will include letting her try on a few of your dresses because, seriously, they're super pretty.]

Unless there's somebody you've got a crush on.

[liongoddess]

What? Me?!

[ASDFGHJKL--]

N...not...anyone in particular...

[How about all of them? A teensy bit? Just kidding. But really. Ten-thousand years of cryo-stasis, all eligible Alteans alextinct, war-torn heroes...she'd be lying if she didn't see the appeal?]

[greenlioness]

It's Lance, isn't it?

[Okay, now she's just making fun of you. She's never had an older sister, but she has had an older brother. It's a little sister's job to periodically annoy her older brother, so maybe the same holds true with older sisters?]

[liongoddess]

[The blush that pooled in her cheeks crept to her ears.] Now you're just mocking me..!

[Pidge plz. He might hear you!]

[greenlioness]

[This. Face.]

Wait. You really do like Lance?

[liongoddess]

Well I like all of you equally!

[Not a lie...]

[greenlioness]

But you've got a crush on Lance.

[Still trying to wrap her mind around it.]
