what a good face??? dang

[ceruleo]

[ He almost asks if Shiro's talked to Allura yet, but thinks better of it. He doesn't know what Keith said, either. So instead: ]

Uh, hey, d'you mind if I ask what the last thing you remember is...? Like, when did you get recruited?

Shiro pouts are my favorite thing

[shiroics]

[It's a good thing he only has to go through this spiel three times.]

We were fighting Zarkon in his giant robot suit. [Said the pilot of a giant robot lion, scornfully.] I'd just gotten my bayard back when the Hathaway agent showed up, right in the Black Lion's cockpit.

[Which would have been an even more intimidating display of Hathaway's abilities than it already was if said agent hadn't been a dog.]

Did your recruiter look like a dog, too?

[ceruleo]

[ Record scratch. ]

You let yourself get recruited by a dog?

[shiroics]

[Hey now--]

I chose to sign on after speaking to a Hathaway recruiter who happens to look like a dog. We've met aliens who just happen to look like Earth species before, Lance, you know better than that.

[A teasing note in his voice:] Unless you're from so far in the future that you've forgotten the "hideous ears" incident.

[Is Shiro ruthlessly bringing that up to throw him off track? Yes. Yes he is.]

[ceruleo]

[ WOW. You're not getting off that easy!!! ]

Hey, I read Mr Wiggles' file too, he's definitely a good boy. I'm just saying, if I saw a talking Earth dog on some random planet? I'd get myself checked into the medbay, stat, and I definitely wouldn't follow him into another dimension.

[ A pause. ]

And my ears still work perfectly, thanks!

btw thank you belatedly for letting me inaugurate my "LANCE." icon

[shiroics]

--His name is Mr. Wiggles?

i'm honoured

[ceruleo]

[ Shiro's magitek dings with an attached link. FILE - MR WIGGLES, it says. ]

S'that your man?

[shiroics]

[...Oh no.]

Uh, that's the one. I figured he was just an alien -- you're saying he's an Earth dog? How'd that happen?

[Maybe he can just bluff his way through this.]

[ceruleo]

Well technically not since he's from a different dimension that apparently doesn't have an Earth-analogue, but. He's "biologically indistinguishable".

It's okay to be a dog person, Shiro. I won't tell anybody.

[shiroics]

[Shiro’s clearly not wriggling out of this one, so he sighs and offers:]

Just don’t tell the Lions. I’m not sure how Black would take it.

[ceruleo]

[ Lance's smile turns from mischievous to gentle. ]

Your secret's safe with me, bud. I'm just really glad you're here.

[ Please take your Voice of Reason job back, dude??? ]
