Pidge felt nervous as she stepped forward. She began to half wish that the floor would swallow her. During this time the king watched her approach towards him with a passive look over as if measuring the young paladin. When Pidge reached him she bowed to be respectful because once again first impressions were hard to kill. The doors opened and the other members of her crew entered with a guard flanking each side.
"Are these the other four who came to our rescue?", the king asked in a soft tone, raising an eyebrow at the unconventional crew.
"Yes sir.", Pidge says standing straight as her team approached.
"So these are those who you were talking about?",Ashiry asks tipping her head curiously. Pidge glances at them real fast then looks at her and nods her head slowly.
"Yeah, they are." Lance was looking around pretending he was chill, Keith was eyeing every shadow as if it was going to drag him in, Hunk looked like he wanted to take a dragon home and was figuring out how, and Shiro stood at attention his eyes on the king.
"A PRINCESS REALLY PIDGE?!" Lance yells suddenly seeing Ashiry near Pidge. She held her head until she heard a loud smack and nodded once again, satisfied that Lance had been taken care of.
"Sorry your majesty we aren't quite sure what he has, but a good smack in the head always seems to cure whatever it is for a time.", Keith says as if this was an everyday occurrence. Except for meeting the king, it was actually. He gave Keith a long look the air felt heavy with silence.
"Be that as it may, I thank you all for rescuing us.", he says.
"Sir, may I ask you something?", Shiro asked
"Yes?", the king replied.
"Are these really dragons? How do you get along with them?', the black paladin looked around as dragons and humans walked in and out of the room.
"Yes, they are what Earthlings call dragons we ourselves have no other name for them so kept that name. That is a long story, my daughter Ashiry will show you around and explain if you will excuse me I would like to repair the city.", the king says waving his hand for them to follow his olny heir.
"Right this way, I'll give you all the grand tour, but first I think I should get a proper introduction hmmm? I am Ashiry.", she says
"Hunk"
"Shiro"
"Kieth'
"...Lance'
"And I know Pidge all ready, it's nice to meet all of you.", she says as Lance begins to wiggle his eyebrows and Keith raises a hand threateningly."I can see you all get along like siblings", Ashiry giggled.
"Well they are my family, well my space family.",Pidge says with a smile.
"oh, oh Shiro is so Space Dad!", Lance says as Keith raises a hand as if to smack him again, then stops.
"You know what that sounds about right.", the red paladin turned to look at their leader.
"That would make Coran Space Uncle wouldn't it?', Hunk asks.
"Following all your logic would make Allura Space Mom.", Pidge says adjusting her glasses.
"But...I'm...we're not...she...", was all Shiro could stutter and everyone laughs.
"I bet you are all hungry after all that fighting.", Ashiry says bringing the attention back to her Shiro sighed now the awkwardness left.
"Food? You bet ya!", Hunk says.
"Real edible food? Not space goo or whatever it is we eat?", Lance asked
"I'm sure it's fine, thank you please lead us.", Keith says.
"Well a growing kid gots to eat, why not?", Pidge says rolling her shoulders taking off her helmet followed by everyone else.
"Right food good idea guys we need to get our energy up to save the world.", Shiro says unknowingly soundly totally like a dad. Ashiry nodded with a smile.
"Great follow me and you will meet Sempri's greatest chief and be most honored guests at the royal table.", Ashiry lead the group forward.
"So..."
"Lance don't even start I can still play with Blue's weapons", Pidge hissed at him softly and he shrugged.
"Whatever...", he muttered and returned to the safty of the others. Keith raised an eyebrow.
"You don't give up do you?', the red paladin asked.
"Nope.", Lance says simply making Keith shake his head.
"Here it is the home of our top chief, Incuso.", Ashiry says opening the door to reveal a large orange male dragon with red eyes.
"That's it, we are so dead.", Lance moaned fearfully.
"Relax Lance we saved her people I doubt we are going to become dinner and if we are I'll be ready.", Keith says coolly
"Guys, it's cooking something tasty I can smell it.", Hunk says drooling.
"Guys, don't bug him okay he's working leave and find a table", Shiro says all, but Pidge mutters and walks out who walks up to the dragon looking in awee.
"Soo cool!", She says and is gently dragged away by Shiro, Ashiry follows chuckling the whole time. Lance raised his eyebrow at this.
"I didn't think you would be into this whole dragon thing, Pidge.',Lance says sniffing at his bowl of soup that Incuso put in front of him.
"Well you see, on Earth they are extinct so this is an awesome opportunity to learn about them and how advanced they are.", Pidge says dipping what looked like a spoon into her soup.
"You're curious about them?" the pink eyed princess asked. The green paladin sipped her soup then smiled, she liked it.
"Yeah ...could... uh...could you teach me?", Pidge asked, blushing. Ashiry nodded and Lance now wore a smug look with Pidge shooting daggers at him while Keith watched amused. Hunk frowed his eyebrows together and sipped his soup shaking his head at all this. Shiro sighed and rubbed his nose between his finger and thumb.
"Just eat then we can have our tour, okay?", the black paladin asked and a silent peace treaty was made.
