'Where did you get it from?' Allura touched a little pale-violet scratch above Lotor's left brow.

'This one?' he brushed a finger where she'd just touched him. 'I can't remember. Maybe I fell? From a tree.'

Allura laughed. It was such a pleasure to talk to him and to know him better with every day.

'My turn,' said Lotor. 'I noticed you have a similar scar but above the right brow.'

'I fell,' she said simple. 'From a tree.'

'Really?' asked Lotor in surprise, his eyebrows raised.

'Yes. Mother was angry, she told me that the princess isn't allowed to behave like that. Though father laughed and kissed my forehead. He said that I'm just like him, too curious.

The Prince chuckled as he imagined this family picture, and then he looked sad, because his father never talked to him, never wanted to see him. Lotor was sure that Zarkon hated him as he made all the Galaxy to hunt for him. Fortunately, this brought Prince to Allura.

'So and where did you get this one from?' Allura ran a finger over the thin scar behind his pointed ear.

'It's from a blow with a whip.'

'How did it happen?'

'I wasn't a good boy and Nanny punished me.'

'What for?' asked Allura with a soft smile.

'I stole a fruit from the table before dinner. Which means I didn't gain patient and used to satisfy my stupid whims.'

Allura snorted.

'Still can't believe you had a governess.'

'Ha-ha, so funny,' grinned Lotor. 'I'm sure you had a couple of governesses too.'

'Hmm, yes, you're right. But I'm a girl.'

Lotor shrugged and then he ran his fingers over Allura's neck and asked her:

'Where did you get this one from?'

Allura swallowed and blushed a little.

'Come on, you can tell me,' he whispered and gently kissed the scar.

'It's actually from you…'

Lotor looked at her in surprise, raising his eyebrows.

'Well, do you remember the first time when you and the Lions confronted each other?'

'Yes, go on,' said Lotor vaguely remembering what happened next.

'So, you lured us to the planet Thaseryix, and me and the other paladins were separated. I was completely lost, and The Blue didn't listen to me. I tried to give it orders and I tried to control it, but nothing worked. When you chased me, The Lion fell, and got this just by accident,' Allura looked into Lotor's eyes. There was no anger or hatred. Just some sadness.

'I'm so sorry,' said Lotor quietly. 'I wished I knew it was you. I would never…'

'It's okay, nothing, just a scratch,' she reassured him with a soft smile.

'I promise I will never ever hurt you, my Princess…'
