Who: Five lions and a rock
Broadcast: No
Action: On the Iskaulit
When: Beginning of the month

[Seeing the destruction of the planet has been hard on everyone, but it definitely has a specially bad effect on this particular group. Losing a planet like this is what the pilots fight to avoid, what Shay almost got through. It's incredibly frustrating.

So add that to the fact they aren't all living in the same ship like it happens at home, and well. These little family is some serious need of bonding time. Just making a pile of astroexplorers and letting them bask in each other's comfort.

That's how they end up having a sleepover on the Iskaulit, the lecture hall to be more precise. They push away tables and chairs, scatter all the pillows and blankets they brought from their own ships, and get comfy for a night with friends.

There are snacks (courtesy of Hunk of course), some non-alcoholic drinks (while Shiro wouldn't mind them drinking a bit, he thinks them being kinda down is not a good moment for that) and probably some games that could go funny enough... or an absolute mess when their augments decide to glitch.

Watch out for the pillow fight. Shiro plays to win.]

[He gives a little whine of protest when his journey about the room comes to an abrupt stop at Shiro's foot. Lance looks up, giving him as innocent a puppy dog eye look as he can muster.]

Can't I just have enough of them for this? You're missing out, you know!

[padadin]

[Laughing a bit more (he's really relaxed this evening), he crouches in front of Lance, that eyebrow of his still up.]

And what exactly am I missing out on?

[the_tailor]

The joys of traveling the world cocooned in comfort.

[His expression turns into a grin. Honestly, it's amazing to see Shiro this chill.]

[padadin]

When you put it like that, you make me miss having a kotatsu. [He finally gets comfortable himself, sitting next to Lance with his legs crossed.] And how are you planning to eat and drink, Cocooned Paladin?

[the_tailor]

That... Uh. I'll get out when I'm ready to do that.

[Never mind he's got himself rolled up in his blanket tightly enough that he might have a little struggle when the time comes.]

[padadin]

I guess I'll have to move and play a game with someone else then.

[Just teasing! ...maybe.]

[the_tailor]

Noooo! Don't leave, we're supposed to be bonding!

[He rolls a little to bump against him.]

[padadin]

[Hey, that bumping is rude! So how does Shiro answer?

By poking Lance's side with metal fingers.]

[the_tailor]

[He'll just bump into him again.]

I'm happy everyone's having fun, at least. I mean, even Keith looks like he is.

[padadin]

[And Shiro answers by poking both of Lance's sides with his hands now. Don't start something you won't know how to finish, boy.]

You're right, and I agree. We all needed this. It's definitely not the same being a ship without the four of you yelling in my ear. [Kidding, kidding. or is he]

[the_tailor]

You love us yelling in your ear and you know it!

[He gives a little "eep" at being poked from both sides.]

[padadin]

You can't prove that!

[Now that's the reaction he's been wanting! Get ready for the poking attack, blue cocoon!]

[the_tailor]

I t-totally can! Definitely! You don't stand a chance against me!

[Lance starts cracking up as he's attacked with merciless poking. It's been a long time since he's been able to relax like this.]

[padadin]

Then prove it, cadet!

[Hearing that laughter is just a precious moment for Shiro, who keeps attacking like the merciless bastard he is.]

[the_tailor]

Nnnooooo...no fair, you're bigger and stronger!

[You evil, evil person. How dare you, Shiro. Lance lets out a little shriek as Shiro hits a ticklish spot on his side. Unfair.]

[padadin]

So are most Galra! How do you confront an enemy bigger and stronger than you, cadet?

[He talks like a commander but his tone is obviously playful, part of his poking attack.]

[the_tailor]

G-give them my biggest, most beautiful baby blues and hope they'll take mercy on me?

[He's trying to do that with you right now, Shiro. Can you tickle torture someone giving you eyes like this?]
