GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES,his COLD reaction should be understandable.

Keith HALTS in his steps, though doesn’t yet turn.Shoulders RISE, fists clench, and only THEN does he look back ;

                                        “ if you felt that way about SHIRO,                                                                                    we’d have him back by now. ”

grief blinds him, & anger sharpens his tongue. he doesn’t consider that there wasn’t anythingBlack could’ve done—Shiro’s her PALADIN,they’d formed a bond that went BEYOND any other form of connection——

                                  how could she just LOSE him ?

—it was selfish, but Keith couldn’t be around her.not so soon ; SHIRO was to be her pilot, NOT HIM, & he couldn’t put himself in that position that wasmeant to be his BROTHER’S place.

☄ there was a lot of hesitation initially when it came to bonding – on both sides. shiro was certain that he didn’t deserve to be the pilot of any of the lions, let alone the black lion, and he was so sure that once she got a look at everything in his head, she would reject him entirely for the disgusting being he is. kahlee was afraid to let anyone else in, was worried that taking another paladin would result in a repeat of history, and she still felt a strong connection to zarkon, despite everything he’d done.

their bond… grew differently than the others’ did. despite knowing himself to be unworthy, shiro had immediate trust in kahlee. this was a big factor in what made him able to see through her eyes so quickly, and be the only one out of the paladins to manage such a feat during the initial training days. kahlee was slower to trust implicitly, but it was easy to see the good in shiro, see his earnestness in wanting to bond and to work together to protect the people of the universe. this was why she allowed him to bond with her to a degree, though it did of course take some work for them to fully bond – part of it was her having to be given proof that zarkon no longer considered her anything but a weapon while shiro held her with respect.

i. he loves giving her hugs even when she doesn’t need or want them, especially when he finally gets used to the fact that there are actual giant-sized lions walking around the castle. he gives her hugs even when she’s in her humanoid form & actually had to teach her HOW to hug. he couldn’t stop laughing the entire time.
