text - backdated to when things went to hell and the lockdown started

[lonered]

Princess. Are you okay? Looks like whatever was going to go down in this place is starting. Where are you?

[juniberries]

Keith!
I've made it outside of the hostel, and I am perfectly safe. [for now....there's no telling what is lurking around to bring her back.] Are you all right? Are you still in lockdown?

[lonered]

On my way out now. I'm trying to get in contact with the others still, make sure everyone is out.

I'm fine. Stay safe. And if you need backup, call.

We should try to reconvene somewhere safe, once we're clear.

[juniberries]

Please stay safe. I know the hostel itself seems fine but there is something guarding the door and it gave us some trouble in trying to leave. Are you with Shiro? Or Lance?

[even through text, she can tell Keith has changed a lot from how she remembers him. it's still taking some getting used to.]

Same to you, Keith. I have the white lion helping me with distracting any potential threats that come my way.
I've heard continuing talk of an underground. I will try to find it.

[lonered]

Yeah. I'm working on that part. I got in touch with Lance. I'm going to make sure the both of us get out. Shiro isn't in the hostel.

[And he will try not to worry too much about this fact. Shiro can handle himself. But with everything that's happened recently, Keith worries just the same.]

Yeah. The underground. That's where Shiro was headed to check things out, I think, before everything went crazy. I haven't heard anything from anyone who went down there yet, so our communications might be limited somehow.

[juniberries]

Please let me know when the two of you make it out. While I'm out here, I will look for Shiro.

If I find him, and if communications are not truly limited underground, I will reach out to you.

[a long pause. she almost wants to end the conversation there, to continue, but something's hovering in her mind and it's still something that aches deep in her body. a nauseating ache.]

Have you heard from Lotor?

[it hurts to spell out his name.]

[lonered]

Will do. And thanks, Allura. I'll let you know if I hear from him too. Whatever happens, let's try to make sure we stay in communication.

[Well.]

...

I sent him a message, but I haven't gotten a response yet.

[juniberries]

[a long pause following that. maybe to a point where it seems like she won't respond. but then:]

I see.

All right. I will remain in contact with you. Please stay safe, Keith.

[lonered]

You too, Allura.

Whatever is going on, this is probably on the beginning. Be careful.
