CHARACTERS: Keith, Lance, and Pidge.
DATE: 8/30
WARNINGS: N/A
SUMMARY: Shiro's been transferred, so the other paladins are meeting to deal with it.
[It's only after Pidge messages him that he sees the completely innocuous message for himself. Shiro's gone. Shiro's gone, and it's being treated like it's nothing. The good thing is that the news doesn't come like it did with the Kerberos mission, complete with reports of certain doom for the three who had gone missing. No, this is just normal: sometimes people are transferred off team. Sometimes, they go on other missions. That's the gist of it. Keith doesn't like it, but knowing that Shiro's okay in some way means that things could be worse.
Still, it's not the first time that Keith's lost him. Maybe it won't be the last. It could be worse, yes, but it still sucks. Thinking of Lance and Pidge, he can't help but wonder how much harder it's going to be for the three of them. He'll deal. They'll deal. If anything, they have to do that so he doesn't feel bad. But, once again, here's the deal: it really sucks.
Because he stops to respond to Pidge along the way, he gets to Lance at the sixth minute into the "give me ten minutes or worry I got lost" message. No, that wasn't the exact words, but Lance's instructions sucked. As he looks up toward the statue and squints, he still insists on this single fact: they were awful.
He tucks his magitek necklace under his shirt and looks at Lance.] The head is the thing that stands out the least about this statue. [Just getting that out.]
Anyway—[continued a beat later, before Lance can even get out a response]—Pidge got back to me. They transferred Shiro. I don't know if or when he'll be back, but we all got a message. [He motions to his magitek, because he assumes Lance will understand where the message came in at.
(If roles were reversed, Keith would wonder why Lance was motioning toward his shirt vaguely.)]

Were you just given a crash course, or what?

[But she'd still rather she was doing that instead of this.]

[Keith might be the worst person to have to explain this.]

which is why lance promptly turns to pidge. who he's content to believe is the smartest one of them all here. ]
So more good versus evil stuff?

Sort of. Their main priority seems to be defending the timeline, which... doesn't always line up with helping good succeed. From what I've read, anyway.
