=====

Sept 19 - 22

[SURPRISE... Keith was small again. Except... this time? He didn't remember the Fleet. He's not as young as last time, either. There was some panic and angry lashing out at a few people to start, but, once he settled down, he started to explore.

He stuck mostly to the Huntress and the Iskaulit. He'd look familiar to anyone who knew Keith, really, and especially to those who had seen him de-aged last time (though he was a bit older than before). However, be prepared for grumpy stares and lack of trust. Keith was not trusting by nature thanks to how things went for him after his dad died. Adults were especially the bane of his existence.

Care to meet a young emo teen? He might have just pick-pocketed you.]

=====

Sept 23 - 25

[Keith stalked along the corridor, his paws padding softly on the metal floor. He'd woken up as a panther, but he wasn't going to just stay put in his room until it wore off. It was annoying, because he didn't have hands and he couldn't speak to anyone. It also meant he couldn't do his assigned job, either.

So, he was trying to pass the time by strolling around the Iskaulit. He was relying on others to get him back and forth between ships, and had gotten Lance to help him over there that morning so he could jog around the ship with Shiro for their normal routine. Granted, a panther jogging with a man that had dog ears and a tail wasn't exactly normal, but here they were.

It was hard to resist the catlike traits and something at the edge of his peripheral vision shifted, getting his attention. He froze, his tail twitching sharply, before suddenly dashing off down the hall.

Look out, passerby! That panther is about to run you over!]

[Keith wasn't sure. He wanted to trust... wanted to believe that someone he'd seen around recruiting wouldn't betray him. He was just... scared.]

I guess.

[He hesitated and then cautiously shook Shiro's hand.]

We can try it out.

[padadin]

[Shiro's smile grows when his hand is taken, and he shakes it properly, because by now he's gotten good at doing stuff with the left.]

Great. I came here by beaming, but if we go back to my ship we can take a shuttle there. If you promise me to behave and not to try to race into asteroids-- [Because even if he had seen Keith fly at this age and he's good, better take precautions.] --then you can give me a hand.

[Pause for dorky effect.]

I don't know if you noticed, but I'm lacking my right. [Keith can be his right hand, GET IT.]

[tempredmental]

[That was a lot to take in with only a few sentences, and, for a second, Keith was a little excited by the idea of flying a shuttle himself... but, in some weird confirmation of "Shiro knows you" that Keith was a bit surprised to hear, he was already being told to behave. Well, fine... He grumped a little, making a face at the bad pun.]

Uh, yeah. I noticed.

[Guess who's sense of humor had also reverted along with his memories, mental state, and physical age.]

[padadin]

Good. Keep that in mind, then. You make a good right hand.

[Continuing with the pun there, even if Keith won't get it because of the lack of Voltron knowledge. Also seeing that grumping face... he can't help it, he ruffles Keith's hair. So young and inno-- ahaha yeah no.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith looked confused and then, what was that?! Keith glared at Shiro, reaching up to rub his own head. Seriously. He might not have the neatest hairstyle, but geeze! That didn't meant Shiro could just go fluffing his hair all over the place like that.]

Sure.

[He got up, moving to follow Shiro. He'd give this a shot for now. It wasn't like he couldn't defend himself against a one-armed man if he had to... even one with dog ears and a tail.]
