Voltron- Saving Them

7

I sat down next to my hot-headed friend as we awaited the results of where his lion was. I already know, and I'm a bit impatient, so I had to take my mind off things.

"Hey Keith," I said, looking at Allura as she concentrated on finding the red lion. I bit my lip, reframing from telling her myself.

"Hey," he said, also focusing on the alien princess.

"You okay bud?" I turned to the red paladin in concern.

"Yeah, just tired," he confessed as he rested his head on his hand. I nodded in agreement and contemplated on what to do. I can't just sit here and do nothing! I thought to myself. I got up and stood next to Coran, to shy to say anything. I decided to observe him a bit since I did want to know more about their technology, plus I think Katie might want to know more about it too, so I can learn it and then teach her.

"U-um, Coran?" I stuttered nervously as my face began to turn red. The mustache man turn towards me and raised an eyebrow. "I was, um, wondering if you had anything for me to do? Or if there is anything I can maybe learn about you Alteans?" I asked him, my face and ears feeling as if they were on fire. I hated getting so easily embarrassed like this.

"Sure thing little one! You know, I should rank you all by size! Follow me number five!" Coran bounded through the halls as he me a quick tour of the castle. "Last stop, your sleeping quarters!" he opened a door that revealed a huge room. "This is-" I cut the poor man off.

"King Alfor's room," I said in awe, forgetting that they didn't tell me or anyone who King Alfor even was.

He was stunned, "Why-- why yes! Since we only have five extra rooms for the new paladins, this is the only room available. Enjoy and be free to explore the castle. I'll have extra clothes for you shipped in just a tick or so, actually here!" He pulled a little hologram and began to press button on the transparent blue screen.

"Thank you, Coran, I really appreciate it!" I thanked the Altean with a bright smile.

He smiled on back, "Of course, number five. I'll be in the control room if you need me. Make yourself at home," He piped cheerfully before he began to walk out of the room.

A quick couple of thoughts came to my mind, "Hey, Coran? I have a question," I said, my voice becoming quiet and my face turning red.

"Yes?" he asked, spinning around and twirling the tip of his mustache.

"What happened to Allura's mom," I asked bashfully.

His face fell, "She unfortunately died along with the planet of Altea," he averted his eyes, but straightened himself after a tick and smile once again. "But there's no need to worry about it. Goodbye, number five!" the red headed man smiled and pranced out of the room.

I began to feel extremely guilty, but the feeling went away when there was a light to my right. I went up to it, inspecting the pretty light. I lightly pressed it and a whole wrack of clothes came shooting out. My eyes lit up and I may have squealed a bit. I know I sound like a stereotypical girl with loving clothes and wearing dresses and such, but you know, I don't really care because I know I'm not. I'm a total nerd to be honest, so everything in this dang castle is going to amaze me.

I had two hours. So those hours started off with my trying on some of the altean attire, then followed with me exploring the rest of my room, jumping on my bed, taking a quick shower, and changing my bandages, because bleh!. I also danced around the room to the songs I fortunately had on my phone. I then went back to the clothes and I ended up finding a suite that looked similar to Allura's. I looked at it a bit confused, but decided to try it on nevertheless.
