[ She tilts her head slightly as she watches the lions. It's a miracle they're not knocking everything over in the process. ]

No, I don't believe so either. Though as you know their method of communication isn't so literal. I have felt concern from Blue now and again.

[ Especially after she returned. ]

[shiro2hero]

[They're agile giant robots. Probably the cat thing. Or they're being careful for some reason. Who knows?]

I do. They can communicate when they need to... we just have to translate it.

[When he'd asked how Black got here, there'd been only the sense of "Need". That she needed to be here.]

[princessences]

[ Needed to be there. For Shiro. ]

We do. And you have always been very adept at communicating with the Black Lion.

[shiro2hero]

Let's hope that trend continues. Once they get acclimated to being together again... I think we should try to connect.

More than we are already.

[A little more Bonding Practice (TM) won't hurt anything.]

[princessences]

[ That's the Shiro she likes to see--one who is hopeful and motivated. ]

I agree.

[ She smiles, giving his shoulder another squeeze. ]

And I will follow your lead, Paladin.

[shiro2hero]

[And, of course, in answer, she gets a beaming smile.]

As my princess commands me.

[princessences]

[ Shiro, you have no idea how much that means to her. It warms her heart and make her a little sad at the same time. ]

You're really the only one who calls me that these days.

[shiro2hero]

Do you want me to stop?

[Immediately concerned. Because he would stop, if she asked. But... honestly, he likes doing it.]

[princessences]

[ Allura shakes her head. ]

Not at all. I miss it...though in many ways I feel as if the title has lost some meaning.

[shiro2hero]

Maybe we should find a new meaning. Something... to remind you there's more out there.

[Not just her old title. That there's a life waiting for her, somewhere. No matter what he's heard about Earth.]

[He'll try. She deserves it.]

[princessences]

[ She smiles at that and gives his shoulder another squeeze. ]

You do a good job of that already, Shiro.

[shiro2hero]

Oh yeah?

[He laughs a bit, shaking his head.]

I'm glad to hear that. I was hoping it did some good.

[princessences]

Of course. Though I fear if you let me we're going to be bound into another round of compliments.

[shiro2hero]

Okay -- I won't let that happen.
