Has it really only been a month?

[ He's contemplative as he thinks about what he wants to say. He wasn't going to talk about the memories hitting him like a freight train -- or how confused he was for the first day about why he was pulled back. He's just glad he remembers. Enjoy a familiar face on the network again-- though he looks older, and the mark on his face is new.

A lot of things are new. ]

Allura, Shiro-- are you still here?

[ There's a brief pause, before he continues. ]

This is Keith. Paladin of Voltron. Guess I'm back and, if I still have my job at the gym, I'll be resuming self-defense classes at Dawn of the Delts.

[The Tina that responds looks older, too; however, she doesn't have anything helpful to add. Sorry, Keith.]

Uhhhhhhhhh...

[legionnaires]

Hey Tina. You okay?

video

[continuousgroaning]

Uh-huh. Just not the age I should be.

I thought you'd gone... like, for good.

[legionnaires]

...Explain?

[ He gives her a bit of a smile. ]

Apparently not. Guess it's a good thing I'm back.

Hey, Keith, right? Didn't we spar in the gym together?

...Did you hit a growth spurt or something? You like you went through the ringer.

[VIDEO]

[legionnaires]

We did. Darin right?

[ He chuckles a little bit. ] Yeah...you could say that.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Hey, you remember!

Good to have you back.

...Wait, you said you were a Paladin? Of Voltron??

You guys are popping up like weeds!

[legionnaires]

Thanks. It's... nice to be back I guess? It's complicated.

Well, that might be a good thing. Voltron was defender of the universe where I'm from. Who else showed up?

[She looks a little... high strung when she turns on the camera feed? Like she couldn't have slammed that reply button harder.]

Yes! Of course we're still here, Keith! It... [... has it been a month? Which measurement was equivalent to a month, again?] ... hasn't been long on this side, no.

But what about on your side? You look like you've been gone for more than a few phoebs.

[She wants to ask about the mark, but she's still trying to figure out what it is. It's not a scar, is it?]

VIDEO

[legionnaires]

Glad to see you Allura.

It's... it's a long story. Something we should probably talk about. [ That is if she wants to know the future. He has a feeling this conversation wasn't going to be the best. ] Are you still in Nonah? I was reassigned to an apartment here.

[patchricide]

[She's about to dig in with more questions, because she's incredibly curious about what's happened, and she doesn't see any reason why a long talk couldn't happen over video. But...]

Yes, I am. Still in the sixth residence. Are we going to be neighbors, now?

[Come to think of it, catching up in person sounds far better.]

VIDEO

[legionnaires]

Yeah, for now. I'm next door in unit five. I don't really know my neighbor but I doubt she'll mind if you drop by. I'm not really the loudest of people.

[ Yes, that was an attempt at humor. ]

[faithfulson]

[ Sorry, Keith, nothing you said was important to the kid squinting at you on the screen. Funny, that blonde hair and blue eyes looks a little familiar, doesn't it? ]

Whoa! That's a cool scar!

[Video]

[legionnaires]

Uh... thanks?

[ Why does he look so familiar. He squints back for a moment, before it's just a quiet. ] Luke?

[ Why was he a child? Oh stars did he remember what happened between them? ]

[Video]

[faithfulson]

Yup, that's me.

[ He's used to people just knowing him by name at this point. It doesn't even phase him. ]

How'd you get it? Did you get in a fight?

[Video]

[legionnaires]

Yeah... got it in a fight.

[ A pause. ]

How old are you?

[pidgewidgeon]

Keith?!? Allura said you'd left!

[ Have one overly excited tech gremlin grinning at you. ]

[legionnaires]

I did, apparently. But I'm back now.

Glad to see you're back.

[pidgewidgeon]

Back? What do you mean back? I've never been here before. [ Confused Pidge is confused. ]

[legionnaires]

So you don't remember the last time you were here? You just came from Olkarion after we found the weird space spores.

[freysgodi]

Whoah. Hey, man.

video

[legionnaires]

...do we know each other?

[ Oh boy. This is a face he isn't sure he recognizes off the bat. ]

video

[legionnaires]

[ literally a day later. ]

Magnus?!

Re: video

[freysgodi]

-- Um. Sorry, yeah. I forgot about -- [he waves his hand over his, general face area] -- this. There's some shit going on. What else is new, right?

video

[legionnaires]

Tell me about it. You uh.... You look good.

[ Keith, your gay is showing. ]
