I wanted to help. [That's not all of it, though. Yes, it had been an idea he started thinking about the moment he got here, but it's the extension of a few things for Keith. Knowing he left Voltron. Knowing that Allura had been disappointed in him for avoiding diplomacy. Knowing he had been avoiding the people side of helping others. It all kind of comes down to this now.]

Allura wants me to get better at people. And at politics. I can't make the politicians here do this, but the people can. Once they have supplies for a while, they'll know they can get more. That they deserve better. I might not be a paladin of Voltron anymore, but you're supposed to help everyone in need.

[But instead of moping about his loss of that title, he's acting. He's doing what's necessary. And he's out there doing it, rather than hiding in the shadows. He's making good on what he believes rebel forces should be doing.]
