[she's quiet for a long moment. strange to think how that feels like ages ago...but it also helps, in a way, to know where Shiro is coming from.
but something twists in her gut. this is so soon after she's told Lance and Keith what has happened to her when she returned home, and knowing that Keith has spoken to Shiro--]
A lot has changed since then...although I'm sure Keith has already told you that.
I am glad you're okay too, Shiro. I cannot imagine what it must be like to be here following such a battle.
[Shiro doesn't know what's gotten to Allura, but he can recognize a diplomatic evasion when he hears it.
He can't blame his team for being careful with information from his future. But being treated with kid gloves by all three of them leaves him with a weightless, yet twisted up sensation in his gut.
As a champion evader himself, all he says is:]
He's told me a little, not much. Just that I went missing for a while but came back, and he took over as Black Paladin in the interim. [And really didn't like the idea that he might stay the Black Paladin even after Shiro had been found.] He also said that you might be from further in the future than him?
It's...strange, I don't mind telling you. [And maybe an impulse to try and breach the gap between them has him adding:] Not as strange as the day I started with a hike into the desert and ended as a paladin of Voltron.
A lot has changed where I am from, and we cannot know for certain if my reality is the same as yours...not to sound like Slav.
[another joke!! she’s loosening up a bit. this isn’t the Shiro she’s been struggling with back home. well, it is him but he sounds a lot less hardened....
does that even make sense?]
I will have to get you caught up on certain changes. But I would prefer to do so in person.

This may sound odd, but what had you been doing before you agreed to join? Timelines here can get a bit...er, wobbly, so to speak.
