[ video | un: redpaladin ] - backdated to July 8

[tempredmental]

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?]

Comments

[tempredmental]

[That was a pleasantly surprising comment. Keith blinked and then smiled slightly.]

Thanks.

[He could do with his own space, too, really. This bed in a giant room with a bunch of other people wasn't going to sit well with him for long.

He appreciated Shiro thinking of him.]

[lionunchained]

[Shiro smiled back in response]

Of course. I can't leave you behind.

[He knew Keith needed his own space as well. Leaving him behind would be just mean]

[tempredmental]

[Keith quirked an eyebrow and almost said something about that, but decided not to. He just smirked a little instead.]

I hope not.

I'm glad you're here. It would stink if I was alone.

[lionunchained]

[Oh hush. Not going to leave Keith behind if he has a choice]

I'm glad you're here too. It would be harder if you weren't.

Well since you came all the way up here, want something to drink?

[tempredmental]

[He shrugged a little.]

Sure.

[It was really good to see Shiro again... apparently okay and doing well, all things considered. Keith didn't exactly want to leave right away.]

[lionunchained]

Have a seat. I'll be right back.

[He wasn't going to be kicking Keith out after all and for the moment, he didn't really have any other roommates hanging out up there with him.

Shiro wandered into the kitchen, only to come back with two glasses of iced tea]

Here you go.

[tempredmental]

[Keith nodded, and then headed over to the couch to sit down.

He took a glance around, noting the subtle differences between the two levels for the common area. Most of it was personal things, items that probably belonged to the other people who lived on that level. Keith took the offered glass when Shiro came back.]

Thanks.

[He waited until Shiro sat down.]

Hey... I was talking to someone on the network before I came up... Ed? He said they were thinking of heading out beyond the fence to see if they can find any clues to what's going on here in the old city. A lot of people have been feeling like they're being watched or stalked, and someone thinks it might be some ancient god-like being that's waking up and disturbing everyone.

[Keith had felt it, too, but he decided not to mention anything for now. Not that Lance was here to make fun of him for sensing something weird like when he revealed his work on locating the Blue Lion, but it had been enough of a comment back then to make Keith doubt bringing things like that up around people too often.]

[lionunchained]

[Shiro didn't have much in terms of personal effects so there was really nothing there to say that he did other than his presence on the floor. Who else would climb that entire way up other than to live here or visit someone who did?

Shiro sat down beside Keith, listening as the teen spoke. Shiro didn't say anything for a few long moments, clearly contemplating what he had said, that serious look settling on his face.]

I've had this strange feeling too, like something is behind me.

[Given his issues, he couldn't have said that wasn't created by his mind until Keith brought it up]

I suppose anything is possible. We have seen some strange things out there. I'd like to find out more. If there is something there, we should know if it is dangerous.

[tempredmental]

You have?

[Keith looked surprised for a second, and then relieved.]

I thought it was just me.

[Because after Lance made fun of him for sensing the Blue Lion in the desert, he'd been wary of admitting he could sense anything to anyone.]

Yeah. We should.

You should come with me to the meeting. It'll be on the sixth floor.

[lionunchained]

Well to be truthful, I thought it was just me too.

[And he is being completely serious about that. He'd periodically felt that way when under stress back at the castle, like with Sendak so he had honestly thought that it was just because of the situation]

Let me know when that meeting is and I'll be there.

[tempredmental]

[Keith took a moment to make the connection, but nodded all the same.]

Yeah. I will.

[For now, though, he would settle in on the couch here, and just... be okay... because he had Shiro back for a little while, at least.]

{OOC: End it here?}

[ooc: sounds good!]
