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?

[Coran might be, but Allura was the one that had the interest in it. Might as well make her think.]

They can't be any worse then what I'm already doing?

[liongoddess]

That's fair. I suppose not...[Her voice lowered to a mutter as she looked him over, appearing to size him up.]

...you're certainly tall enough for it.

[andiwillformthehead]

[He may want to take back this idea of asking her help in this 'matter'.]

[He raised one brow at that, glancing down at himself then back to her.]

Tall enough for... what?

[liongoddess]

[She stands on her toes, raising a hand and places it a few inches above Shiro's head, as though measuring.]

Well, I was thinking about how the young Arusians could use a new playground.

[andiwillformthehead]

[his brows raise to look up at what ever she's doing with her hand. Measuring? Like... he's what? 2.5 Pidges tall or something?]

Playground? I'm sure I could help build one, no matter what height I am. [someone might not have got it]

[liongoddess]

[Ish. Allura shows Shiro that smile she makes when about to try to convince someone to do something that they were likely to say 'no' to.]

Well, we could all build one. But think of the community-building we would accomplish if you would actually play with them.

[Space Dad doing Space Dad things with alien kiddos. Perfect fit!]

[andiwillformthehead]

[He missed out on playing with them the first time. He... wouldn't mind missing out on them again, thanks. His brows came together and he frowned at her.]

I doubt I would be much fun to play with.

[What is 'play'? Space Dad pretends not to know.]

[liongoddess]

Oh come now, Shiro? How would you know if you haven't tried?

[This is about finding other things to decompress with, right? Blah blah blah healing power of a child's laughter etc.]

[andiwillformthehead]

[THIS IS THE FACE OF THE UNSURE. The soft brow raise, the tilted head, the slightly squinted eye, the half frown that could be a smile if he just shifted that brow up again.]

I work better with, uh, a slightly older crowd? [Not the best excuse. It didn't even sound firm.]

[liongoddess]

[The face of potential compromise!]

You were young once, Shiro. [Right? Weren't you? Allura's positive that is how Earthlings work!] Just think back really reaaally hard and I'm sure you can find it in you to charm the boots off the little ones!

[andiwillformthehead]

[The two of them have VERY different ideas of how this face works.]

I'm pretty sure I was never young. [He said, almost teasing, but there was a faint smile there. What do you think you are doing here?] Do they even wear boots?

[liongoddess]

[Allura practically puffs out her cheeks at Shiro's obstinance.]

Some of them do. More often than pants, at any rate.

[andiwillformthehead]

[In truth, that comment made him chuckle, just slightly, shaking his head in amusement, and looking off in another direction.]

And are you going to come along and assure that I know how to be a playground for these kids or do I have to go do it alone? [In other words, come with him and he might.... try... to play with the tiny people.]

[liongoddess]

[Allura puffs proudly, planning her hands on her hups in a display of feigned assurance.]

Of course! I would never ask anything of any of you that I would not be willing to carry out myself!

[andiwillformthehead]

[He gave a sigh. Of course she will go. He's not really surprised. His arms crossed but he gave her a small smile.]

I suppose this means I will one day have to go out with you to play with the kids, in an attempt to learn to decompress.

[He's ignoring his mun as she chuckles about 'go out with you' comment. The mun giggles because it was accidental and yet she left it there.]

[liongoddess]

[Hurhurhur playing house~]

I think you'll find their unadulterated laughter to be quite theraputic.

[andiwillformthehead]

[Space Mom and Space Dad, going out to check on the kids. Daw]

[Shiro just looked amused at her now. Yeah, all right. This time around, the Princess gets what she wants.]

We don't have enough of that around here with Lance and Hunk?

[liongoddess]

It's different. Trust me, you'll see.

[Lance's and Hunk's laughter was cute in their own way, don't get her wrong...but theirs usually came with a mess or some sort of racket.]

Though you can always bring them along to see for yourself.

[andiwillformthehead]

For now, I'll take your word on it. It's not like it will be my first time meeting with them, just my first time... dealing with them in their home setting? [He said in an unsure tone in the end. What even were they doing?]

Let me know when you want to go. We can take Black out a ways and land so not to startle them. [He doesn't expect her to say now or anything like that. He figures he can manage to skip around it easy enough and she will forget.]

[liongoddess]

[Allura chuckled.] You will be their guest! You have nothing to worry about. [They'll have stars in their eyes to pat much mind to any goof-ups.]

Excellent! [She clapped her hands together.] I am so glad you are on board! I'll just change into something more comfortable and I'll wait outside the hangar.

[andiwillformthehead]

[Oh. Welp. There wen't that idea. He held back a cringe, brow raised.]

Oh. Now? I uh... [He has... NO excuses now. He let out a small breath, then chuckled.]

I suppose Black and I will meet you outside the hanger shortly. [That is him surrendering to her wishes.]
