Keith once again, pushed open the heavy doors that lead to the insides on Daibazaal Dance School, DDS for short. The people didn't just stare at him now, they went as far as to stop what they were and glare. Some even flipped them the bird. Keith was glad he had Shiro with him for support, even if it was just physical support.

He had his head raised high as he walked further into the school. He wanted to get out of here as fast as possible.

Lotor was most likely to be in his father's office. Not that Zarkon ever used the office. Hell, Keith had never even seen the guy, he only knew what the owner looked like from the old photographs that adorned the walls of the office.

He shot a nervous look over his shoulder at Shiro. His adoptive brother smiled, but it turned out more worried than Keith would've liked.

Rolling his shoulders he knocked on the office door. When he didn't get an answer he looked at Shiro. The older man shrugged and motioned for him to open the door. He slowly pushed the door open.

The office beyond it was smaller than it seemed from the outside. There was a desk pushed against the far wall, it was covered in piles of messily stacked papers. An old laptop hummed in the corner where it was plugged in. There was a small couch next to the desk, leaving a small space between the two pieces of furniture for a plant that looked as if it hadn't had water in a few months.

Lotor sat on the couch, he had one leg over the other and his arms crossed over his chest. He wore a smirk Keith would have like to smack off his face. Next to him on the couch sat Ezor, she smiled wickedly as the two men entered the room. Zethrid leaned against the desk while Axca sat on the chair in front of it. Narti leaned against the wall in the far corner of the small room, her cat was licking its tail by her feet.

"Well, hello, gentlemen," Lotor said as he slowly rose to his feet. Ezor pouted slightly when Lotor removed himself from her side. "I had a feeling it wouldn't be long before I would see the two of you again." Lotor smiled, showing his white teeth.

Keith suppressed a shudder. Lotor and his friends looked like sharks circling their prey.

Axca stood up from where she previously sat. "What are you here for?" She sounded as hostile as ever.

"Well, well, no need to sound so mean, Axca." Why was Lotor still smiling? "I am sure these men paid us a visit for a good reason." He raised one eyebrow at Keith and Shiro, urging them to tell him why they had came.

Shiro and Keith exchanged a look before Keith spoke. "I'm here because I'm leaving."

Lotor amusedly raised both of his eyebrows. "Oh, and why is that?"

Shrugging, Keith let his eyes wander around the room. "Just don't really like the vibe that's going on here." From the corner of his eyes, he saw Narti straightening up and Zethrid subtly flexed her arm muscles. Keith straightened up a bit.

Clearly, Lotor had noticed the shift in attitudes from two of the women in the room, because he held up one hand. His eyes never left Keith's, though. He hummed before turning around. Every pair of eyes in the room followed his movements as he turned around and started to dig through one of the cabinets that stood against the wall.

The cat at Narti's feet had stopped cleaning itself and had instead started to stare at Keith. Its eyes were an unnatural yellow with minuscule black pupils. Keith felt awfully exposed.

After a few agonizing minutes, Lotor finally straightened up and held out a paper to Keith. Keith stepped forward and took it from the white haired man. His eyes quickly scanned over the paper and he saw it was just a resignation paper. It asked for his name, date of birth, and at the bottom he had to fill in why he wanted to leave and sign it.
