     His touch was feather light, he’d barely realized that he’d reached out to run his fingers over the scar. The feeling within of sorrow.. he still hated that he.. did this.. to him. Keith did not deserve this. Sorrow filled him as he heard the smaller man's words. "It may not hurt... but it's..." Not okay was the first thing to come to mind. 

     The prosthetic hand twitched at his side, always so hesitant to touch Keith, always so carefully used.. Of course he could remember the fight.. in bits. He couldn’t.. really bring himself to try to work through it. 

send “DON’T GO!” and an emoji to see my muse’s reaction to yours…

   This took him by surprise in all honesty. He felt James stop him, a tight grip that seemed to loosen up after a second or two. Ryan shifted, eyes looked  at James. His head was tilted, confusion ran over his expression. It also didn’t  help that the words that left his lips were almost like a silent plea.

    “ I...I won’t, ” his voice was rather gentle like normal, warm with worry, “ I won’t. ” this time his voice was more steady when he repeated the same words.

    “ Is everything alright? ” Ryan didn’t move, he only got more firm in his stance, “ You can talk to me, you know? I’m always here if you need to talk or just need a shoulder. ”

CASTILLE + KEITH

     There had been commotion outside the fortress, Cullen alerting the man from his quarters and informing him that he should come quickly. Soft greens seemed confused before he moved from the behind his desk and quickly headed down the stairs and out of the front of the castle. A lion, similar to the one that he’d seen Shiro come here in.. smaller, perhaps, and colored red that was landing in an area just the other side of the bridge. He moved quickly, calling to his Commander and the other Warriors to make sure no one else crossed the bridge.

Lance looked away as tears filled his eyes. “Is that why-” He took in a deep breath trying to catch himself before he started sobbing. “Is that why you did it? You thought we didn’t need you?You-you thought you weren’t welcome?” His mouth tightened and his met Keith’s gaze, his blue eyes blazing. “So you thought w-what? You’d just throw it all AWAY?! Throw your FAMILY away...Keith...throw u-us away?” Tears ran down his face unchecked. “I don’t know what you...you thought about all of that but I wanted to be the one to go. Because I KNEW we needed you. You told me to leave the math to Pidge. And I did and then you finished the equation by leaving...” “And we let you go because you WANTED to go. Or...okay we THOUGHT you wanted to go. I...I know no one wanted you to leave, but you did and it was your decision. And we cared enough about you to respect that.”
