[whatsacactus]

[He sounds a little more confident:] I'll meet you there.

[Meanwhile, his litten sensed something was... off. And tries to butt its head against him. He didn't notice it with his jacket on but its fur is really oily.]

Why is its fur like this. Should I get it cleaned?

[shiro2hero]

You will.

[It's a promise.]

[He grins, though, watching the little guy try and help.]

Nah, they're always like that when they're small. They use it for the fire thing -- Like I said.

[whatsacactus]

[At least this is one cat that actually likes him without him nearly dying.]

What about the ball it came out of.

[So he may not be thinking consciously about the 'this is a dream' scenario, which means he's going to ask a million questions about how it still doesn't make sense. But at least he's on his way.]

[shiro2hero]

It's an easy mode of transport. You don't have to keep it in there, and a lot of people don't.

[He nods to the Aggron still resting its head on his shoulder.]

No clue how they work. But Armin or Ford might have an idea for you.

[whatsacactus]

[He has no idea who those people are. Figures. He looks down at the pokemon in his arm while he walks and decides that moment: he's not keeping it in a ball of any kind. It deserves better.]

What does it eat?

[shiro2hero]

Specialized food, for the most part. There's things like berries or treats. But they've all got their own special food.

Unless they're Kuro, and they occasionally eat hubcaps. Or chew on my arm.

[Just. Gonna give the big guy a LOOK.]

[whatsacactus]

[So not people food and not just stuff he can find in the wild without knowing what it is first. Great. More stuff he'll have to remember.]

You... named it Kuro. [Okay, even Keith can smile a little at that. Because of course Shiro did.]

[shiro2hero]

[Don't worry, buddy, your Litten probably knows already.]

Hey, I have a theme I gotta run with.

[And that's why he named his own fire cat "Red".]

[whatsacactus]

A theme, huh.

[He wasn't too far from Cherrygrove, and he kept walking the whole time he was talking.]

You said you'll get here?

[shiro2hero]

Yeah. I've got Red, Yellow, Green and Blue, too.

[It's hilarious, if you're Shiro.]

I will. Promise. Just head to the building with the big red and white ball on it.

[whatsacactus]

Huh. Colors.

[If Shiro hasn't figured out the time discrepancy yet... He has no value to that theme.]

I'll see you there then.

[shiro2hero]

... Yeah. Colors.

[What the heck even. Something's off. He wanted to hope he was just being too cautious or he's been away from the team too long, but...]

You will. Soon.

[whatsacactus]

[He walks for a little bit before he picks the gear out and responds again. Something on his mind that he can't make sense of.]

Matt said I haven't left Earth yet. Any idea what he's talking about?

[shiro2hero]

[RECORD SCREECH.]

...

What?

[whatsacactus]

So you don't know what he's talking about either? [A relief, honestly.]

[shiro2hero]

What's the last thing you remember?

[whatsacactus]

[Why does everyone keep asking.]

I was in the desert. It's been a year since you both left.

[shiro2hero]

[Because!! It's important!!]

Keith. What does the name "Voltron" mean to you?

[His poor, overworked Meowth has started kneading at his shoulder in an attempt to... soothe the poor man's suddenly spiking nerves.]

[whatsacactus]

It... Sounds like it's important to you?

[shiro2hero]

But not... you?

[whatsacactus]

Never heard it before.

[shiro2hero]

[oh...]

[%$#&]

I... think we have a lot to talk about.

[whatsacactus]

[He flips through Matt's responses and looks even more tired.]

It sounds like it from what Matt's telling me.

[shiro2hero]

I...

Should probably prepare you. So you're not going into this blind.

[The Aggron at his shoulder shifts away for a second, so he can lift his right hand into view.]

[The metal one.]

[whatsacactus]

[It only takes a blink for him to get it. He doesn't look at it for long, opting to watch Shiro's face instead.]

A year, huh. [This absolutely has to be a dream. He was trying not to think too much about the white thatch of hair, the scar over the bridge of his nose. But this too? Not real. Fake.]

Looks like a lot's happened.
