[He listens to her until the end with his hands clasped together in front of him. He thinks again of how much Allura has endured. Her people are out there and they need to find them. For their sake. For hers.

He wishes they could do more for her. Yes, he needs to handle his own matters but he won’t abandon her on this. That gives him the strength to steady himself and gentle his tone.]

I know how to handle my part. I’ll be alright. ...Just make sure you do what you need to do for you too. You have lost more than I have because of Zarkon and Haggar. [She lost everything.]

If you need time before you approach this. Or need someone afterward, I’m here for you. In my case I just need time to seperate her from...the witch. [The word witch hammers at the inside of his mind. Witch. Every time he has been toyed with. Forced to kill or was changed forever. Always a witch was involved. He sighs.]

...I know you can handle this. I just wish neither of us had to.
