I couldn't. We were overrun. If I'd stayed we'd have both been captured. But we got her back.
[Light gathers in front of her spaning upwards until it forms a rocky land and rocks at her back. Smoke curls up from a small fire and Shiro is back in armor. He leans back against a rock breathing in carefully. His hand covers something on his side. Upon closer look, it's a glowing purple wound.
The young man from before sits beside him, watching him carefully. His armor is edged in red. If she looks behind them the true Black Lion is parked behind them next to a smaller red lion.]Thank you for saving me.
['You'd have done the same for me,' Shiro's teammate is subdued compared to the vicious fighter in the trials. 'How's your wound?'] My wound's great. Getting bigger all the time.
[Shiro lifts his head from the stone and shifts his head to look at Keith. His resolve has crystallized since he had been saved from the beasts. With his size screaming with agony and leaving him feeling weak. He has to say it.] Just trying to lighten the mood.
[His companion only continues to look worried and a faint spark of fear deep in his eyes. 'Hang in there. When Allura and Coran find us, they'll fix you right up.'
The memory flickers, suddenly a futuristic hotel room. Shiro sits on the bed and looks up at the same man, visibly older. They're both battered looking as if they'd both been through a difficult fight recently. His right arm is missing, severed at mid-way through the bicep. The leftover piece glows with violet at the end.
The silence stretches between them and neither looks away. Keith's violet eyes widening with shock. Shiro watching him as carefully as Keith had on that barren rock planet. He leans a little towards him, his voice soft.] Everything.
[Shiro never looks away, his voice warming up and soft with too many emotions to catch.]
You came for me when everyone else would have given up. My view hasn't changed. We're equals. We will always talk things out.
[He shoves his bangs away from his face and smiles at him.] My old promise stands. I won't give up on you just like you won't give up on me.
