Lance/Allura PSL for Kari! ♥
Apr. 15th, 2017 06:24 pmIt was like floating in space. Allura would know, having been stranded among the stars for a spell.
She placed an affectionate hand on the leg of the Blue Lion, hesitant to leave it unattended while Lance introduced her to the mer-people of this aquatic planet. She knew it would be safe - Hunk and Lance's gallantry ensured a peaceful encounter after all - but the Lions were vital to the success of their mission, both this one and the grander scheme of protecting the universe.
She took a step away, hoisting herself off of the ocean floor and quickly finding buoyancy. Pulling her gaze away from the lion, she twisted her torso in hopes of the rest of her body following suit. Her suit helmet granted her a limited field of view, so she quickly scanned what she could in order to locate its pilot.
"Lance?" She could hear her voice in the helmet's monitoring speakers. She brow furrowed. "Lance, you better not have gone far!"

"How fascinating...I wonder what led to them developing these breathing apparatuses for other species." Their history was still a mystery to her--but if they were ready and waiting for Lance and Hunk, then these aquatic people must have encountered other species before.
She paused and took in the view of the palace entrance. There weren't any obvious signs of strife, but it seemed that the garden and serpent were more of a subversive threat.
Her observation was cut short by Lance joining at her side. Any tension that had built from the interaction with the advisor girl--Plaxum, wasn't it?--seemed to unravel once her attention fell back on the Paladin. Even if this place was new to her, she wasn't in it alone. Lance was here to serve as a buffer, and even if he didn't realize it, it was more for her sake than for the natives'.
"Dancing? How do they dance if their feet aren't touching anything?" On one hand, it sounded a great deal easier than the ballroom dancing she had to learn as a child, on the other hand, what kind of maneuvers was she expected to pull off in a buoyant state?
