[closed] broadcast + action
Who: Team Voltron (Allura, Keith, Lance, Pidge, and Shiro)
Broadcast: Closed
Action: Closed - Iskaulit, Lion's Den
When: Late August
[ private; broadcast ★ text ]
[ Allura has been a little quiet, near MIA since Lotor's arrival, but not too long after she opens up a private channel to the team. ]
Paladins.
We need to talk.
[ closed; action ★ Iskaulit ]
[ She's still processing everything. Anger is what she feels the most, but there's confusion, hurt, and betrayal settled in there as well. He had placed it all so eloquently in front of her, things that he had kept to himself since the moment he had offered his knowledge and assistance. This entire time!
Of course, she understood well why he hadn't said anything--she would be upset no matter the circumstances. But that didn't make it right. It made it purposeful.
Allura needs to pry her mind away from the circle of frustration she was creating for herself long enough to properly navigate the Iskaulit. She has never been to the "Lion's Den", as it was called, before, but she is glad to have it. A place that is meant to be safe and familiar in a very unfamiliar world. It may not be the Castle by any means, but she can't stew in her room on the Tourist for much longer.
She pauses in front of what she assumes is the entrance.
Is...this it? ]

no subject
The latter should be a comfort. Both should be a weight off of her shoulders. Both, she feels, she may have failed in some way. Perhaps this will give her time to reflect further on her actions and plan a way to correct them if possible, but based on everything she's heard up until then, it doesn't matter what conclusions she comes to--if and when she turns to their timeline, everything she's learned here will be null and moot.
She will make the same mistakes because she's learned nothing, won't she? They will still be betrayed and she will lead them right into it.
But Shiro's trying to help--they both are. Despite the weight on her chest, how she feels so totally fooled, Allura forces what she can of a smile. She places her free hand on top of Shiro's and gives it a squeeze. ]
...I suppose all we have here is time.
[ She nods. ]
Thank you...
[ And then looks up to Keith, to Pidge in the corner. ]
Everyone. This may not have an affect on how things play out in our reality, but...perhaps, it can make our stay here more...pleasant.
[ The words feel practiced, too polite, and she frowns a little, then shakes her head. ]
...--I'll do my best to take your advice to heart.
[ Time and space. ]
