There's been a few things between Shiro's time and Keith's that makes the sight of Shiro injured something that tears a cold, painful gash straight through the center of Keith. He's lost him a second time in that interim, and like hell is he ever going to let it happen a third time.

But Shiro is going to be okay this time. He's broken, but Keith knows he's seen worse. So he takes a breath and he nods. "I know. You'll be fine. But you're definitely going to take it easy." Not an option. Keith will enforce it somehow if he has to.

For now though, he listens. "But they didn't kill him while they had him?" So the King is useful to them alive? It's interesting. And Keith gets the need to info share.

But. "We should get you somewhere you can rest. And something for the pain."
