              “...CAN  YOU  TEACH  ME?”  SHIRO  asked  ,  brushing  his  fingers  over  the  semi-translucent  screen  of  an  altean  text.  perched  on  the  edge  of  allura’s  bed  ,  grey  eyes  scanned  the  scrawling  screens  ,  the  elaborate  ,  elegant  symbols  of  the  alien  language  he  could  only  barely  understand.  “to  read  this  ,  i  mean.  or  speak  it  ,  even.”  he  looked  up.  “i  can  make  out  bits  and  pieces  ,  but  i’m  not  fluent  yet.  —— i’d  like  to  be.”

     Dishes in the sink were piled up after he had made something to lighten upthe mood around them. Ryan knew that there were going to be piled up like they had. He let out an annoyed huff due to his own lack of organization. He began to wash these dishes, setting some aside so he could dry them after hehad washed them. This would take awhile for sure.

     Olive hues looked over his shoulder as he heard a voice. He spotted theprincess, “ Oh, um…if you don’t mind lending a hand that is. ”

  He really hopes it’s not some Altean thing that he has no answer to.  She’s not acting as distressed as he’d think she would if it were something serious.  Doesn’t seem like anyone’s dying.  Turns to face her albeit slightly suspicious.  “Alright.  What’s up?  You okay?” 

Keith knew that it was something that couldn’t be avoided by meeting the Blades especially after meeting up with Ulaz. He knew that he couldn’t show that he knew Ulaz though or it was going to make the situation a lot worse especially with how Allura reacted to him once he appeared on the ship. It wasn’t until he was behind close doors that he was able to mourn Ulaz since the Blade was one of the few that Keith was close to. He learned a few things from him while living on his own and whenever they were able to talk when he was a cadet at the Garrison. The Blades were like family to him though besides the bond that he had with Shiro and the one that had been made with the rest of the team. The raven was going to wait for the right time to tell that he was apart of the Blades, he had been since the day that he got to meet one of them while carrying the blade that belonged to his mother. A mother that he had no memory of while the label orphan had been placed over his head after his father’s passing. But the Blades were proud of him especially with him being a paladin of Voltron, one that was piloting the Red Lion. 

Keith and Shiro moved to climb onboard of the base to visit with Kolivan as it probably was going to take some convincing to get them to agree as allies. Kolivan could be a bit stubborn when it came to certain decisions, something that he had heard many times already plus from seeing it firsthand while talking over a video feed. 

The relief was there when Kolivan agreed to come to the Altean ship even though he still went through the trials to awaken the blade that once belonged to his mother. Keith was determined to awaken it even if the truth would come out about the Galran blood that ran through his veins. He was ready to receive Allura’s anger about him being half-galra and that he had kept it a secret for his own reasons. 

allura had asked to meet him here. allura. and honestly, lance wasn’t sure how to react. her message had been short and to the point, simply a note to meet her just outside of camp. they had something to discuss, but in all honesty, lance wasn’t sure what. 

The Garrison was a fresh start for Keith, an escape from the foster homes that he’s had to deal with for the last few years. Those foster homes became a blur though since he never got too attached to them, he never stayed in them for very long anyways. Keith always struggled with trying to get to close to anyone that was in those homes though, it was just easier for him to avoid from getting close to people there. The fights didn’t help either as it was the reason on why he never stayed in the foster homes for very long, he was going to try to be different at Garrison. If it could be avoided, he was going to try out of trouble but it was unknown on if that was going to happen. 

Keith came up with the idea that it was a good idea to avoid others which was why he kept to himself most of the time. It was easier on him since it kept him out of any fights or dealing with others who wanted to start a fight with him. Plus the last time that a fight happened, it caused another lecture by Shiro because of the incident. The raven didn’t start the last fight though, it wasn’t the fault that it broke out in the first place. The other cadet wouldn’t leave him alone and said a few words that got on Keith’s nerves before the swinging started which came from the other cadet first. 

The raven started to close himself off once again though because of the fights, he couldn’t bring himself to trust a lot of people. Keith was even starting to close himself off from Shiro a bit, he was struggling to open himself up to anyone. There were days when he just stayed quiet and tried to avoid anyone that he could even when he knew the answers to the questions that were given during class.
