[shiro2hero]

Don't you mean the fist to be ready?

[princessences]

...

[ Did he really just. ]

That was terrible.

[shiro2hero]

[No Allura that was hilarious.]

[Because he's going to laugh, anyway. Like it's the literal best joke in the history of jokes.]

Sorry, had to.

[princessences]

[ Well.

Geez.

Don't smile like that, it makes her feel bad for not laughing!

She narrows her eyes, but mostly to keep herself from cracking a smile of her own as she reaches for another cookie...and hands it to him instead. Truce? ]

I'm glad to see that you're feeling better already.

[shiro2hero]

[He's still laughing. That's for sure. Wiping at his eye with the back of one hand.]

[It feels like it's been a while since he laughed that hard. It's nice.]

Well ... accepting the bad jokes helps. [And so does that cookie. Truce taken.]

[princessences]

If I'd realized it was that easy, I would laugh at your jokes more often.

[ Well, she already does. Most of the time.

Honestly, sometimes she has no idea what he's talking about, but she smiles because he seems happy. ]

[shiro2hero]

My jokes are hilarious. I'm surprised you don't laugh constantly.

[Because your jokes are terrible, Shiro. They're awful.]

I'll just have to try harder.

[princessences]

[ Allura raises a brow to that. ]

...Very well. Tell me the funniest joke you know.

[shiro2hero]

Okay...

[She says "funniest". He hears "lamest." Apparently.]

Why did the cat get fired from work?

[Wait for it.]



He was lion down on the job.

[princessences]

...

[ Shiro.

Even the mice have to stop and stare at him for that one. ]

...That was the funniest?

[shiro2hero]

...










Yes?

[princessences]

[ Plachu throws a crumb at Shiro.

The little shit. ]

[shiro2hero]

What's not funny about it?

[princessences]

[ Plachu squeaks. ]

He says, "All of it".

[shiro2hero]

That's just rude.

[princessences]

[ Chuchule shuffles over and offers Shiro a cookie with a squeak.

That makes Allura laugh. ]

She says she thinks you'll do better next time.

[shiro2hero]

I'm glad someone has faith in me.

[As he accepts that cookie.]

Thank you.

[princessences]

[ Allura shakes her head. ]

I bet you I have a better one.

[ Joke, that is. ]

[shiro2hero]

Oh yeah?

Bring it on.

[BRING IT ALLURA.]

[princessences]

[ Allura clears her throat and straightens in her seat. ]

What's the difference between a Rauttfotur and a Nefburgle?

[ Platt gasps. Clearly he knows this joke. ]

...The Rauttfotur will burgle but the Nerfburgle won't even if you ask it nerfly!

[ And the mice proceed to crack up. ]

[shiro2hero]

[He just... stares at her. Deadpan.]

[And then puts another cookie in his mouth.]



Allura you know I have no idea what either of those are. Right?

[princessences]

[ Rude.

Allura huffs. ]

I assure you it's quite hilarious in Altean.

[shiro2hero]

I believe you.

I just don't know what any of those things are.

[princessences]

Well, if I had to explain it, it would ruin the joke.

[ Now she's taking an oreo and just biting into it. ]

But I will say that these are quite delicious.

[shiro2hero]

I'll take your word on it.

[A grin, propping his chin up on one hand.]

They're Oreos. I... may have missed them a little too much.
