[vermil_lion]

Calm. Down.

It'll be fine. He'll--

We'll all be fine.

same tho.....

[juniberries]

Keith, I...am sure everyone is just jumping to conclusions.

Shiro will be fine.

[she hopes

because no offense Keith it's just really hard to imagine you as the leader rn......]

I'm trying to distract myself because if i think about it too much i will probably actually cry

[vermil_lion]

Yeah. [He nods immediately.] Yeah, he will.

He wouldn't go down to the Galra that easily.

[But with his arms crossed, foot tapping agitatedly, and eyes slightly downcast in thought... his body language doesn't seem so convinced either.

What Allura, you don't believe in that hot-headed shounen protagonist aesthetic? Rude.]

SAME TBH IM GONNA....just. stay calm. but. it's hard.....

[juniberries]

[she smiles reassuringly. trying to, at least, because she's...well, she can't say she's particularly convinced herself.]

He has outsmarted and overcome the Galra many times before. I am certain...wherever our paths may lead, with you and the rest of the team at his side Voltron will be victorious.

And there will be no more deaths at Zarkon's hands.

[LOOK KEITH I SAID NO OFFENSE IT'S JUST...maybe the other Keiths but..........not you.]

*hugs* we gotta be strong, for Shiro. <3

[vermil_lion]

[He nods along with her words. He can believe, at least, that Shiro's experience with the Galra would protect him. And he truly, honestly believes that, regardless of how unbelievable these circumstances are, he is meant to do this. They all are.]

Yeah. [His eyes narrow defiantly.] I thought he was dead once. I'm not gonna let that happen again. Not if I have anything to say about it.

[And really?-- He exhales, uncertainty flickering across his face. --He's not so hot on the idea of being the leader of Voltron either.]

O-O-H Child plays in the background tbh

[juniberries]

[Honestly, Allura wishes she could understand Keith better as a person so she'd know just what to say but...at least. What she's saying now seems to help.

But boi u hard to read sometimes.]

Just...remember that you have the other paladins at your side too. As well as Coran and I. If something does happen to Shiro, we will do everything in our power to save him.

[aka DON'T GO RUNNING OFF LIKE YOU USUALLY DO MAKING RASH DECISIONS KEITH.]

um please consider: Team Voltron karaoke tho??

[vermil_lion]

[Hey, he's still getting used to the whole not having to be fiercely independent and self-reliant all the time thing, okay? Being open is...hard. Being vulnerable is hard.

And he really does forget he has a whole team around him sometimes.]

Yeah. [Allura's reminder is comforting, and he's able to exhale some of the weight off of his shoulders. He offers her a soft smile.] Thanks, Allura.

[look SOMETIMES THINGS GOTTA GET DONE AND HE FORGETS HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS TO DO IT OKAY? What are plans, he doesn't need a plan, just a goal and sheer force of will.]
