[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.

[shiro2hero]

[He isn't looking at the screen. Just at the hunk of metal attached to him. And the Aggron trying to shove its big nose in his way.]

[C'mon buddy, stop it.]

More than just a year. I think.

I... thought you should see it before I turned up on your doorstep.

[whatsacactus]

Thanks... But you're still you, so.

[Metal arm, white hair, doesn't matter to him.]

[shiro2hero]

You sure about that?

I have it on good authority I'm someone's dad now.

[He's trying to be funny.]

[whatsacactus]

Wait -

How long were you gone?

[ARE YOU OR ARE YOU NOT THE SAME FOOL THAT ATE ALL THE MACARONI IN THE MESS HALL.]

[shiro2hero]

... NOT LIKE THAT!

Father figure! Figure!

[whatsacactus]

Then say that next time!

[shiro2hero]

I didn't think you'd assume I ... had a kid!

[whatsacactus]

You said-- You and Matt sound like you've been gone for a long time! I don't know!

[shiro2hero]

Who exactly would --

[No. No he is not. Going to follow that train of thought.]

I do not have actual biological children.

Simple as that.

[whatsacactus]

[It's been a long day, Shiro.]

I don't remember what we were talking about.

[A beat.]

But I made it here.
