don't be a jerk, lance



but no, it didn't

[yablueit]

im not--nevermind

anyway what happened next?

[businessinfront]

first they accused me of stealing it

[yablueit]

honestly that would make more sense



no offense

[businessinfront]

i didn't!

[yablueit]

i know! im just saying that would be way less insane

[businessinfront]

look
all i know
is i've had it my whole life

[yablueit]

i believe you

[businessinfront]

[ That's... more than Shiro had done, at least right away. Maybe Lance doesn't think anything of it, but it leaves Keith reeling. ]

anyway
they told us to leave
i told them i wanted answers

but that's not exactly how it works there

[yablueit]

so whatd you have to do?

[businessinfront]

they called it the trials of marmora

they said if i survived i could keep the blade and get the answers i was after

[yablueit]

so you beat them, right?

[businessinfront]

well

kind of

the first part was a series of fights
against a bunch of those galra guys
at first it was 1v1
but they kept throwing more at me every time

[yablueit]

how'd you get through that?

[businessinfront]

i don't know if i did

i was pretty wiped out
i'm not sure if i got to the last room
or if they just finally decided to throw something else at me

anyway i was... down
and i started seeing things

[yablueit]

...seeing things?
like what??

[businessinfront]

like Shiro?

[yablueit]

you were seeing shiro???

[businessinfront]

yeah
i guess he was saying what they wanted me to hear
to give up the knife and turn back

other stuff, too

i don't know
they got in my head somehow

[yablueit]

freaky. i wonder if that's why red went ballistic on them

[businessinfront]

maybe
i wonder if she was picking up on the physical or mental stress

[yablueit]

it wouldn't be the first time, right?

[businessinfront]

usually i'm a lot closer to dying though

anyway
i chose the knife over shiro

after that

it's hard to explain

[yablueit]

[ He's a little surprised Keith would choose anything over Shiro. ]

harder than everything else?

[businessinfront]

[ It's enough of a challenge that it keeps Keith from closing up entirely. ]

yeah





i was back at that house in the desert

my dad was there
