Has anyone here ever woken from a dream that...felt too long and too real, to the point where it MUST have happened?

Because for awhile, it truly seemed like I was back in my universe. But then I woke and
Well
I am still here. But I do not feel the same.

[PRIVATE TO: LANCE, PIDGE, KEITH.]

I must speak with you about what you went through before being brought here. Please remind me of what you remember last.

[hhhhah why. well thank goodness this is text because she feels a strange spike of something because even though she accepts him for who and what he is and she's Over It--

he doesn't know. and suddenly she feels protective of what she does know about him.]

No particular reason, I just...need to know just how much our memories line up, that's all.

You remember Ulaz, correct? As well as when I believed Zarkon had been finding us through me?

[mullet]

[ Ignorance is bliss. ]

yes, i remember him. and remember leaving with you for a short time.

[ What is even going on here. ]

[juniberries]

Then this certainly cannot be a dream like others think it must be.

[THERE'S A LONG PAUSE.

AND THEN...because. idk she was pretty nasty about Ulaz and the Blade of Marmora Galra when they were stuck together for all those hours on the pod.]

And just know I had been wrong to lump all Galra together. My anger towards them had blinded me and I had...been given time to think on the issue. Ulaz's sacrifice did mean something to our cause. It was wrong of me to question him in the manner that I did.

[mullet]

[ This is..... kind of weird. But, okay. ]

yeah, just a bit.

[ Or, like, a lot. Shiro knew him! There was no reason to shackle him. ]

every sacrifice means something.
that's why it's called a sacrifice.
i mean, i'm glad you see that now. but, did you say that to shiro?
ulaz is the one who helped him escape zarkon and meant more to him than to any of us. he should probably hear that, not me.

[ lol keith. ]

[juniberries]

['every sacrifice means something that's why it's called a sacrifice' you are truly a scholar, Keith.]

Shiro still only remembers when we had all been separated from each other due to the corrupted wormhole. I doubt he would understand. If Shiro should ever KNOW about Ulaz and how I treated him when he was someone to be trusted, I will talk to him about it.

[ALSO SHE IS. TECHNICALLY. using Ulaz as a stand-in for Keith without actually saying anything about it.]

You had been incredibly defensive of Ulaz when we had been together, and it is something we both remember. So I just wanted to let you know that I...now understand where you were coming from, and I admire you for it.

[mullet]

he knew who ulaz was when he saw him.
i don't think it's wasted effort if you say something, but do whatever you feel is right.

[ Even if Keith thinks it's totally wrong to not say anything. ]

but, thanks. i appreciate it.

[Well when you're leader you can decide what's right from wrong. Until Then...]

Of course Keith. Your decisive instincts are what make you the Red Paladin, and a valued member of our team.

[juniberries]

Speaking of, what happened with that man who desecrated your Lion?

[mullet]

[ As a human he can decide right from wrong, but ok. ]

nothing to worry about.
it's taken care of.

[juniberries]

Taken care of in what way?

Have the stripes been removed?

[mullet]

yes.
i said it's been taken care of.

[juniberries]

Good. Those stripes were hideous.

And I think this is proof that, once the Red Lion begins working again, you should keep it in the Castle-ship's hangar, to prevent any other similar situations. I would be particularly wary of Vaas.
He is...unpleasant. And needlessly cruel.
