VIDEO

[The feed was a little shaky as Keith got settled. His voice was a little quiet for a moment.]

...how these happened so close together...

[He was definitely muttering to himself. The picture spun until it was facing him. He looked different. Tired, a little bruised up, older... he'd visibly aged further than Lance, Pidge, or Shiro. His hair was longer and even more grown out than before, and, when he turned to face the camera for real, there was a large burn scar along the right side of his face.]


Hey... just letting everyone know I'm back, I guess. It's weird how close this happened this time. But, yeah. In case you guys were wondering...

Oh, and, uh... thanks to whoever looked after Snow while I was gone. I appreciate it.

[And with that, he clicked off.]

=====

ACTION

[Keith could be found around the Huntress, the Iskaulit, or the Blameless. There might be a stop or two to the Bishop and the Tourist as well to check up on Pidge and Allura respectively. In person, he was a bit taller, and his shoulders were wider. Guess who's jacket didn't fit him anymore. His shirts were all a bit tight across the top now, too. He was going to need some new clothes when they get to the next system.]

=====

{OOC: Keith is back! Unlike his buddies, returning home dumped him into a quantum abyss that caused him to age two years faster than anyone else on the team. Once he got back from that trip to the team, he fought Shiro, and the two of them are pretty beat up because of it (hence Keith's new facial scar).}

[ It strikes her as a little odd to think Keith, of all people, is the one reaching out. They had never been particularly close on the team, but perhaps that was because they had more in common than they didn't. (Far be it for Allura to admit that, though.) But he had also been the one with the most insight to her situation...and she had heard all that had happened.

Keith had been instrumental in all of it.

So while there is a small moment of hesitation, Allura relaxes ever so slightly and offers a weak smile in return. ]


I feel that I should be checking in on you instead. It hasn't been a full movement since you've returned, has it?

...Yes. It is.

[ She shouldn't need to be reminded of that, but perhaps she does. For as much as Allura is one to rally for team dynamic and teamwork, she tends to draw into herself with things like this. It is important to keep herself grounded. ]

It wasn't too difficult, though it was admittedly a little surprising to lose you right after my own arrival.

[ She nods, bidding him to follow her down the corridor. ]

Most assured that you would return, however...I did realize that was a possibility. At the time I thought it might be better if you hadn't, as we had much to accomplish, but...

[ Well.

Now that she knows what a mess home was... ]

Oh, I hadn't been aware of that detail.

[ That's very good to know since it seems likely to happen again. That explains why Ulaz hadn't been particularly worried. ]

That is very strange. That you can remember events of our home universe here but not the other way around...one would assume you would travel between both and recall both as well.

Perhaps...

[ She goes quiet for a moment, musing. ]

I suppose you would understand that better than anyone else at this point, wouldn't you?

[ Allura smiles, albeit lightly. ]

I feel that I should play a proper host. Would you like something to drink? The kitchen isn't anything like we had on the Castle, but it does have necessities.

[personal profile] princessences 2018-09-27 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I do, but I want to as well.

[ Which means they're going to the kitchen. Allura is a stubborn host when it comes to her friends. ]

The Captain has introduced me to "peanut butter sandwiches". They're very sweet. Have you had one before?

Oh, with fruit? I believe most things are improved with fruit.

[ She is happy to hear that. ]

Do you have any recommendations? Perhaps we can get some at the next port.

[ The kitchen itself isn't much to be excited about, but she does know where the cups are. ]

We have water and some energy drink supplements. Oh, and coffee. Do you have a preference?

Grape or strawberry jam?

[ She has no idea what those are. ]

Very well.

[ Water is easy enough to get--she offers him a bottle. Much easier. ]

As...interesting as this place can be at times, I am curious to see where we land. I haven't really had much opportunity to explore outside the fleet yet.
