[It's very, very early morning when the video flicks on. Displaying someone who really should still have been asleep. But he's smiling, and pans the camera over to where one of the purple alien cats has apparently, in true cat fashion, decided Shiro's bedroll is its new bed, and no one else's.]

Finally got him to stick around long enough for a nap. [He's speaking in an undertone, and fondly, too.] He'll probably wander off after he wakes up, but...

Maybe we can get him to help with the hunting around here.

[A pause.] At least, I've been calling him... him.

Pidge. Just don't do it.

What- Are you serious?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

He's right Pidge, you should listen to him.

You really shouldn't curse like that. It's unbceoming.

We're supposed to be the Paladins of Voltron. That means watching our language when we're in unfamiliar territory.

Being role models.

[Shiro. Shiro, honey. Lance is on your team, that's like never going to happen as much as you hope.]

What-- Coran swore when he met us! And Lance is like, the total opposite of a model paladin!

[shiro2hero]

I'm... pretty sure Coran qualifies as some kind of eccentric type no matter the galaxy he's in.

Lance also isn't the one swearing over an open channel. Come on...

Pidge!

[pidge_out]

What?!

[shiro2hero]

You can't tell me that's not a real swear.

video

[pidge_out]

Well, fine, "fuck" is a real swear, but it's possible that not everyone out here knows that.

[shiro2hero]

There are a lot of humans here.

Some of whom are from like, the stone age.

The secret to cursing is to get creative with it! Don't just stop at 'hell' and call it a day!

Really get inventive! I remember this one time, when I accidentally smashed my hand with my smithing hammer? Man, what was it I said?

It was something along the lines of 'You god damn, slipper, son of a--'

[shiro2hero]

Darin!

Not helping!

[forgeabettertomorrow]

--born from your mother's--

[shiro2hero]

Stop talking.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

--rot in the pits of the deepest level of hell!'

See? Creative! The sky's the limit when it comes to swearing!

[shiro2hero]

Not.

Even remotely helping.

[pidge_out]

[She's just sitting here grinning.]

Thanks, Darin. That was pretty good.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Eh, not my best but true creativity comes in the moment.

[pidge_out]

I know what you mean. I yelled something really good at this one guy back at the garrison. Wish I could remember it.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Come on, what's a little swearing going to do?

Create an intergalactic incident?

[shiro2hero]

Honestly? Probably.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Tell you what.

In the event that my swearing creates an intergalactic incident, I swear on my honor a as a man to not only beg on my hands and knees for your forgiveness, but should your robot lion ever show up, I will personally wash and wax the entire thing from top to bottom.
