[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

[yablueit]

wait what

[businessinfront]

like i said, they got in my head

[yablueit]

you've never talked about your family before

[businessinfront]

there's nothing to talk about

don't worry about it

[yablueit]

you sure dude?

[ There's a lot Lance wants to ask about, but if Keith is that quick to dismiss it, well... ]

[businessinfront]

it's fine, Lance
it was a long time ago

... do you want to know what i saw?
i hate trying to explain dreams and stuff
and they always sound dumb when i'm the one listening to them

but nobody else knows about it
and well
maybe talking about it is better
than getting stuck out in space with allura
or almost blowing our chance at an alliance

[businessinfront]

you can say no
