...Oh. [She sighs, disappointed.] Well. There goes that, I suppose.

[This is going to eat away at her though. All those people who died, who were tortured and enslaved... and here Lance is, a pivotal member of Voltron, who could stop it before it ever happens.]

Trust me, I don't like it. Going home and forgetting the things that've happened here... Both for strategic purposes and personal ones... I hate it.

[He sighs, grasping her hand properly.]

But I try to make do. I make as many happy memories as I can here even if I can't take them back.

[itsyagirl]

[She wants to be sad. She wants to tell Lance about all the people they've lost, how humanity as a free species was confined to a tiny space. She wants to cry and be held and just have a moment with her baby brother.

But he looks like the blow would crush him completely, and she just...can't bring herself to do that. She needs to be strong for him.

God, she's had to be strong for so long. It's getting so hard now. Veronica takes a deep breath, calming herself down.]

Lots of happy memories?

[the_tailor]

[Right now, it probably would absolutely crush him. He's only just started to get over his feelings of uselessness. Knowing that he couldn't stop Earth from being attacked and enslaved... It'd take a long time for him to recover.

Yet he knows that she must be suffering just as much. There lies the problem. Lance wants to be there for his sister, but he doesn't know if he can handle all the details of what happened. Not yet, anyway.

But he'll do absolutely everything he can for her now.]

Yeah. I've made so many new friends here... And I've gotten to relax and not constantly be at war. It's been so long since I've been able to do that. Plus, all us paladins got closer too. Even if we don't remember when we go home, I feel like there's something that lingers in our hearts anyway.

[itsyagirl]

[Veronica tries to push her feelings away for now to focus on Lance. MAybe later they can deal with...her problems, but right now is not the time. Besides, if he really has been in space without family for that long, he probably needs something soothing from her.]

I won't pretend to understand, but that sounds nice. So you've...gone back there, then? We can get back home?

[the_tailor]

Yes, but it's at random. No one's been able to figure out the rhyme or reason to it.

[He sighs. It always makes things more complicated.]

Here, let me buy you another drink. We can catch up and just...for a little bit, forget about the Galra, yeah?
