Lance watched his sister, the girl he had just learned was his sister. His little sister. He never had a little sister before, only nieces and nephews. But...this girl...was a little girl. Scared. She needed to be protected. Especially from Keith. Lance turned to his little sister, the Altean, Cuban girl, in the sleeping pod. She was so small. So delicate. So...Innocent.

Allura and Pidge returned from the room Lameza had been inside of for so long.

"So, it looks like Lameza entertained herself with these Altean books," Pidge said with her hands full.

"The mice found some food, so she has been saving food in order to eat, and there are liquids in there as well," Allura added.

"At least she's been eating," Hunk sighed from next to Keith. "I don't know what I'd do for 17 years without snacks."

Pidge laughed and punched his arm in a playful manor.

"Owwwww...Piiiiddgggeee!!!" Hunk laughed.

Shiro stood next to Lance and set a hand on his shoulder. "Lance...She's going to be okay."

Lance kept his eyes on Lameza's still body inside the sleeping pod. "I know. I just...I can't believe I have another sister."

"Yeah. Pretty crazy. It's almost as if only she got the features, and because of that, your Altean parent didn't know what to do so they just put her in a pod and put her in space," Hunk replied blankly.

Pidge hit him hard. "Hunk! That's an awful thing to say!!"

Lance looked down and finally decided to walk out. "Sorry, guys. I just...need some time to think."

Shiro nodded. "Of course, Lance."

Pidge had ran after Lance to make sure everything was okay. After a while, Allura and Coran went to the control room to make sure everything was on course, and Hunk went off to make food for Lameza.

Shiro looked over at Keith. "Hey, Keith. I'm going to the training room, and then to check on Allura and Coran. Can you stay here with Lameza?"

Keith nodded softly as he sat next to the sleeping pod, resting his head on its side. After a bit, he heard a hissing sound, and quickly got to his feet and in front of the sleeping pod. Lameza warmed up and suddenly fell, right into Keith's arms.

Keith caught her effortlessly, and helped her to her feet. Lameza looked into his eyes, her dark blue eyes staring at him. Her Altean markings were white, and her freckles were a pale color. He stared at every feature of her face. Her slightly pink cheeks, her long lashes, her straight brown hair falling over her shoulders, her pink lips, her dainty hands, her little button nose...

"Um...Keith?" Keith snapped back to reality from her voice speaking to him.

"Y-Yes? What do you need?" he tried not to stutter(he did not succeed).

"Thank you for catching me, but...can you help me to the...what did you call it...bathroom? I am quite dirty." she softly giggled.

Keith nodded quickly. "O-Of course! Come on...I'll take you to mine. Allura wasn't able to get you clothes, so I'll just give you some extras of mine, okay?"

She smiled. "Okay. That sounds perfect."
