I guess this is what you do when you're new? Introduce yourself on the network. So, yeah. I'm Keith, the Red Paladin of Voltron.

Uh... nice to meet everyone, I guess.

[All the awkward. What is this 'being social' you speak of?]

I still don't get why Pluto isn't a planet anymore.

I'm glad you lead them off Earth, but it has to be a bit weird being out far from home, fighting a war... or whatever.

[tempredmental]

It's actually kind of complicated.

[He had to learn about it in the Garrison. He could tell her. If she really wanted to know. But he hated that lesson for somewhat personal reasons, so he avoided the details.]

It is. Like, there really isn't much that's familiar. No familiar constellations. The food's weird. I haven't seen another human other than my team since we left. All the planets are different, too... weird colors in the sky, and strange plants.

It's been really cool, but... yeah. Really weird, at the same time.

[Weird was one way of putting it. As much as Keith didn't have much tying him down back on Earth as far as family or a life, that didn't mean he didn't miss it.]

[threatenwithcuteness]

That's why I don't understand it.

*Lola can definitely see how all of that might wear on someone. She thinks that skies of different colors are cool. But that wouldn't change missing home, not to her anyway.*

Well, I can try to find real Earth ingredients but that's always a bit of a hunt to do. And make something a little closer to home. I'm really good at Mexican food.

[tempredmental]

[He gave her a sheepish shrug. Understandable.]

Mexican, huh? Well, we get a lot of that where I'm from. Consider me curious.

[Familiar food would be... awesome. Keith was beginning to understand Hunk's point about that.]

[threatenwithcuteness]

I can do other stuff like burgers, pasta, and a few other dishes I learned here or there. But I have a lot more experience with Mexican food.

I mean, if I can't find the right ingredients I know what local foods make for the best taste. Just... don't be weird if any of the ingredients are purple or glowy.

[tempredmental]

After having been eating mostly lime green food goo, purple and glowy doesn't sound all that terrible.

[He shrugged a little sheepishly.]

[threatenwithcuteness]

In that case I'll make sure you get at least one proper home cooked meal this week, promise!

*Because honestly everything about that sentence was depressing.*

[tempredmental]

[He gave her a somewhat grateful looking smile.]

That sounds great. Really. Thanks.
