video ;; action for Lion House

[shiro2hero]

So... what'd I miss?

[What's up TAB network, it's your friendly neighborhood spaceman out of hospital after a disaster mission to that hellscape planet. Looking halfway decent -- surely those circles under his eyes are normal and, you know, right arm in a sling is fine. Totally okay.]

[Managing the TAB is a little difficult since he's got a bag full of armor slung over his good shoulder but oops. Oh well.]

Anything I need to get updated on? New faces or issues?

[On his feet and already trying to leap back into work. Good going buddy.]

For anyone I've missed, I'm Shiro -- and if anyone out there knows the name "Voltron", let me know.

[Because if Hunk showed up while he was out, others might have too.]

[After making that little announcement, he'all continue on to the Lion House in the 5th district. And probably stand in the front walk for a minute to brace himself before marching on inside.]

Comments

[shiro2hero]

This is not even remotely serious. Or continuing. End of discussion, effective right now.

[His turn to stand up. Scowling, ferociously. Because it's that or turn bright goddamn red.]

Good night. Go to bed.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Not before I write about this in my journal.

[shiro2hero]

Don't... you dare.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

You'd never know, would you.

[Darin gets up and starts to saunter by him.]

Not unless you went through my journals yourself.

[shiro2hero]

Do not even tempt me right now.

[DON'T YOU DARE SAUNTER AWAY FROM HIM YOUNG MAN.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

...You wouldn't.

[Uh oh, that backfired. Darin does have personal thoughts in there about people. People Shiro probably knows.]


[People Shiro definitely knows.]

[shiro2hero]

Try me.

[He wouldn't. But really, his Tired Face is better than a poker face, right now.]

Besides. We're not done talking about your passenger there.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Time for an epic stare down while Darin weighs what he knows about Shiro.]

...For now, Diomuhr's quiet. I just need to keep my strength and my temper in check.

[shiro2hero]

All right. But... you do know I'm going to be keeping my ears open after this, don't you?

If anyone mentions anything remotely like this... I can't not try and get you help.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Trust me. I've been looking into it too.

I just...

A personal favor? Well, two actually...

I know you're concerned but...please, don't treat me like I'm some kind of...ticking time bomb. Like a cataclysm that's set to go off at any moment. I've lived with that stigma all my life. Just...let me be me?

And the second...? Let me talk to All--...The princess...on my own terms. I still need to talk to her about what happened with you.

[He places an appreciative hand on Shiro's good shoulder.]

Though...I'm starting to see what you see in her. I approve.

[He gives him a teasing wink as he heads on towards the stairs.]

Oh and, before I forget, she uses her mice to spy on people, so everything we've just been talking about might make its way back to her pointy ears anyway. But at least this way, with what I've just admitted? We're even.

Sweet dreams, Shiro~

[And up the stairs he goes.]

[shiro2hero]

That's fine. And fair. You're welcome to call me on it, if that happens.

[But he doesn't want it to. He won't ever intend it to.]

[And he had more to say. Important and leaderlike things.]

[But then?]

[shiro2hero]

[What.]

[shiro2hero]

[He's going to die. God dammit, this is it, this is how he dies.]

[God dammit.]
