Who: Ulaz and you!
Broadcast: Video Fleetwide
Action: SS Caprine
When: 1/20

[As if waking up on a strange ship alone wasn't enough when Ulaz knew he shouldn't be there, now he was on yet another ship. This really was not funny. His attempts to try and get information through hacking had been poor at best and he was no closer to figuring what had happened.

He had learned one thing though; he did not like confetti. It was not amusing in the least.

He'd been pretty much silent so far - if being a Blade had taught him nothing else, it was how to make as little noise as possible. But now he doesn't really have a choice]

Can someone explain what is going on here? First I was on one ship and now another, neither of them where I should be. This must be a joke.

[And why does he say that? Hmm...]

Yeah, you did. Voltron fought on, and we fought the Blade of Marmora headquarters. I can't say Kolivan was happy to see us when we arrived, but we formed the alliance in the end. The coalition has rescued one third of the empire already.

[A pause, then he finally looks up, his face soft, obviously incredible touched and maybe a bit guilty too. Because even if Ulaz is okay with it, Shiro will always feel a little bit for being the reason he died.]

Thank you. For doing that for the cause, for believing on my team, for believing in me. For rescuing me. I'll always be in your debt.

That is good to hear that you and others have freed so many people. You really have given hope back to the people in the universe.

[He's not surprised that Kolivan hadn't liked him to begin with. That was Kolivan. If he had been with them, he would have argued for them with Kolivan directly. But he hadn't been. The mission was more important than himself, but in someway, it would have been nice to continue the mission alongside Voltron.

At that though, he did reach out and put his hand on Shiro's shoulder]

You have done much for the safety of the universe. Countless worlds are in your debt for having stood up to Zarkon. I at least played some part of it.

It was only thanks to yo--

[Oh! Ulaz is touching him. That's unexpected, but welcome, especially since it's that little shoulder Shiro likes to do too. It's very different from when Keith does it, Ulaz's hands is much, much bigger - able to actually cover Shiro's whole wide shoulder. Now that's a first one.

His chest almost hurts when he hears those words, it's so nice, but also such a weight on his shoulders. Shiro is proud of what they've accomplished, and he'll fight until he dies, but it feels like Ulaz has unconditional faith in him. It's a bit scary - Shiro's afraid he'll disappoint him.]

Some part? Ulaz, we wouldn't have achieved all the things we did if it hadn't been for you. Voltron and coalition exist thanks to you. I only wish you could be there to see it.

[Probably the few times when Shiro feels short will be around Ulaz. He's definitely tall compared to a human. Even compared to some Galra, he is still tall. There's no way Shiro won't feel small around him.

Maybe not unconditional, but he did have a lot of faith in the abilities of Voltron and Shiro had been a part of getting it going again]

I appreciate the thought. I was doing what I had to do. It would have been nice to have seen it all happen.

[It was an odd feeling, being given so much credit for what had happened]
