Ignorance Is Not An Excuse (Winged Lance)

Ignorance Is Not An Excuse

Despite what the Atleans thought when they first arrived at the Castleship, it was just as likely for a human to have wings as it was for them to be wingless. He was proud that his wings resembled those of a blue macaw, and it turned out to be pretty close to the shade that Blue was. He was happy to constantly show them off at the planets that they visited. So far, all of the planet's inhabitants had been respectful and politely asked if they could see his wings closer.

That's one of the reasons why he was excited to head towards a new planet in order to negotiate another alliance for Voltron. They were headed towards a planet called Gotov, and were set in their chair waiting for Allura to activate a wormhole and jump to their position. However, Allura turned to them with a hesitant look on her face.

"Is there something wrong Allura?" Hunk asked in concern. She shook her head slightly and took a deep breath in.

"I have to warn you of the people of Gotov," she admitted glancing over at Coran who nodded in return.

"Yeah? What about them?" Keith pried leaning forward in his seat.

"The residents of Gotov are very prideful people and think very highly of themselves," she started.

"That doesn't sound any different from other planets that we visited," Pidge stated with a shrug.

"No, they are on a whole other level, they think that they are the most important species in the universe and are most likely going to demean you,"

"Is there any chance that they've changed over ten thousand years?" Shiro asked curiously. Allura thought for a second before letting out a heavy sigh.

"I'm not sure, I just want you to be prepared for if it happens," she cautioned. She waited until they all either nodded or verbally agreed before finally opening the wormhole.

"Anybody got a bad feeling now?" Lance asked.

"Well, yes, now that we know that we're going to a planet filled with jerks?" Pidge asked sarcastically.

"We can't treat any differently from any other planet we visit," Shiro reasoned.

"So why are we going here then?" Keith asked, ignoring what Shiro said.

"They have very ample resources, ones that aren't available to many other people because of their stubbornness to form alliances with other species, combine that with the extreme dislike of all other species and you get Gotov," Coran explained cheerfully, clearly trying to lighten the mood.

"Unfortunately, we are arriving during the evening so we will have to spend the night here before we start negotiating the alliance," Allura sighed as the Castle touched down to the ground.

"Maybe they changed," Hunk suggested positively as they crowded onto the lift.

"Hopefully," Allura said, although she clearly doubted her words.

When they arrived at the waiting crowd, they were quickly surrounded by the curious citizens. Most of them were huddled around Shiro and Keith, but many were also grouped around Hunk and Pidge, even less around Allura and Coran. Strangely, none of them came close to Lance, many actually turned their backs on him completely as if they didn't even want him in their sights. They started leading them towards the city, to presumably the largest building in the centre of the city. Even as they walked, they left Lance in the very back behind everyone else.

As they started up the steps towards the entrance of the building, Lance raced ahead slightly in the crowd and latched his arms firmly around one of Hunk's arms.
