Go talk to @quickfish about archery. She can teach you.

[Spoilers: Lance has already been volunteered.]

[ceruleo]

I'm sorry, what?

[secondnature]

You can't use a gun here and you're a sharpshooter.

[ceruleo]

Shooting arrows is not remotely similar to shooting guns, Keith!

[secondnature]

It takes good aim! You have good aim!

[ceruleo]

I've never picked up a bow and arrow in my life, buddy!

You seriously think I can learn fast enough to--to what, exactly? Why am I doing this again?

[secondnature]

So you can shoot things.

[No, Keith didn't think this one out.]

I will not be holding any archery lessons on Headquarters.

If you are still interested come the next mission, we may speak again.

[ceruleo]

That's okay, I'll practice on my own. You okay, Hayame?

[kisha]

My injuries have healed.

The facilities here are just not appropriate.

[ceruleo]

Glad to hear it!

Hey, do jinba do spas?

[kisha]

If you mean the beauty treatments, then no.

They do not exist in that way. In my world.

[ceruleo]

All the more reason for you to try it! You haven't lived until you've had an exfoliating face mask.

Pleeeeaaaase?

I need you to use your spec power on me.

[ceruleo]

[ Keith??? ]

Are you hurt? Where are you?

[secondnature]

Just sore.

I was a hothead.

[ceruleo]

[ Keith... ]

Meet up in the hotel lobby?

[secondnature]

On my way.

[ceruleo]

[ Lance is sitting at the lobby bar when Keith shows up. He looks unimpressed. The thought of bringing down a first aid kit crossed his mind, but given the security cams everywhere he figured he'd play it safe. ]

What do you think about Lotor?

[ceruleo]

I think the guy's got Allura wrapped around his finger, but I also don't think he's gonna try to pull anything while he's here.

[secondnature]

Do you think you can get through to her?

[ceruleo]

[ A minute later: ]

I don't know.

I don't think so.

I just wish I knew what happened.

[secondnature]

My incentive is to figure out his goals. What he has in mind. What he's really doing.

I can't tell Allura. I would have before. But it's clear now that she can't know about it.

[ceruleo]

[ Keith can't see it, but Lance's mouth presses thin. He doesn't want to lie to Allura, but he's of one mind with Keith on this--also, that explains a lot. ]

Alright. Okay.

For the record, I don't like this. I don't like him, but mostly I don't like all this--not talking to each other.
