[So, Keith looks... harried. He's holding it together, but he's also very clearly tense. Now, Keith isn't exactly Mr. Carefree Happy-go-lucky at the best of times, but there is an added seriousness in his expression, even more intensity in the gaze that he fixes on the camera.
And, maybe most telling, he looks worried.]
Shiro is missing.
[He can't say gone. He can't. Not again. Even if he has been told how this place works, knows full well that people come and go. He knows that rationally, but rationality has never really been the ruling concept where Shiro is involved.]
I can't find him anywhere. I can't get him on the comms. He was next to me in bed last night, and then he wasn't. I didn't hear him get out of bed. He just vanished.
[He takes a breath. His voice is mostly level still, threatening to fracture at the edges.]
I know the Porters do things, but...
[He trails off and shakes his head, like he doesn't want to finish. Now, when it turns out that Shiro's port out was very temporary Keith will briefly wonder if he overreacted a bit, but since that hasn't happened yet, he thinks he's being very restrained. Nothing is on fire and he hasn't threatened anyone in the government yet. That's personal growth.]
There has to be someway to know for sure. To do something.
[His frustration bleeds through on the last word, down to the clenched fists that he forces open to reach out and turn off the video.]

[Casually offering a hand at breaking and entering? Maybe? But you know, no real breaking, considering Kosmo would be involved.]
It was, yeah, especially showing up here having no idea what the hell was going on.
no subject
Maybe. I'll get back to you.
Yeah the welcome pamphlets they hand out are never very useful. People you know being here are way better.
no subject
Definitely are. I didn't really have the patience to sit and read at the time.
[He'd kept it to look at more closely, but Pidge and Allura have been full of more info anyway, and so have other folks he's met here.]
no subject
That's fair. I never understand why they expect people ripped from their home worlds to be in a position to sit and read information.
no subject
[Keith probably would've kicked over the projector.]

[He's picturing some terrible after-school-special vibe, and it's no good in his imagination. It'd be even worse in practice.]
Now that you mention it, I should probably look back through the stuff they gave me when I first showed up.
[Can't hurt to look closer now that he's been here long enough to understand what some of it actually means.]
