"Greetings, this is the inbox of Princess Allura. While I am grateful that you have reached out to me, I unfortunately cannot answer you directly at the moment. But if you leave a message and wait a tick, I will surely get back to you!"

[it's odd, how hearing Shiro say that about Honerva's reaction draws sympathy from her.

after all. she too had woken to a world completely different from what she remembered, 10,000 years into the future. everyone she had known, had loved...gone.

in a way she wonders if it would be best to approach her. to talk at least about the loss of both Daibazaal and Altea. to keep things vague. but...no. it's too hard. and everything is so raw. at a later time, though, when Lotor is allowed to react and say his part to his mother.]

It won't be easy, for any of us. She is a fellow Altean, one who has done...unspeakable things. But she knew my father, they worked together as alchemists before...everything.

[it's so hard to string words together, but it really is much easier to speak them to Shiro instead of write them out.]

But...I know what it is like, in a way. On her end. To learn about the death of a loved one. To be with them one moment, only for them to be gone the next.

Please Shiro, I want you most of all to do what you need to do. I can handle this.

[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.

Thank you, Shiro. [her smile is bittersweet. again, thankful for his voice, to hear him speak, but that this is only voice so he can't see how truly disturbed she is at all this.] What I lost to her happened over ten-thousand years ago, while I was in cryosleep.

[the fact that what she did to Shiro, something more intimate, more personal, and directly lifechanging to his very being, goes unsaid.

she knows he knows. doesn't want to remind him when this encounter with Honerva did so clearly set him on edge.]

I wish the same. We...there is a lot to get used to, but...once I speak to Lotor, I will come find you. And please know I am here for you as well.

I know you are. We all hold each other up. Paladins and Lions alike. [It's a subtle attempt at a joke. He cracks a small smile but it's good that she can't see his face. He's raw. This had been one hit too many of late.]

I'll be keeping to Keith and I's quarters for a while. If I decide to go anywhere else, I'll let you know.

..you're right there's a lot to get used to. But, we've weathered tough situations before. [One day in the future he will tell her more about how Haggar had controlled his clone...controlled him. The memories are his even if sometimes it doesn't feel like it.]

We'll do it again.
