"How long?"
Allura kept her eyes shut and her breathing neutral. Her heart sped up when she heard Lance's voice.
"I don't know. I just can't believe the lions were capable of doing something like this, Keith."
So, Lance was talking to Keith, was he? Allura's brain was still a little foggy, so she couldn't tell whose voice was whose.
Well, except for Lance, but, you know...
"What do we do when she wakes up?" Hunk-maybe.
"I'm not sure... Coran, what do you think?"
There was silence for a count of five dobashes.
"We should ask no questions, it may overwhelm her," he finally answered.
What am I, some kind of weakling? Allura asked herself. Inwardly, she shook her head. No, she was not a weakling, but she was in no condition to say that to Coran.
"Lance, my offer still stands," Coran said randomly. Allura could feel the temperature drop.
"What offer?" Keith asked. Lance sighed.
"Coran, I'm all for helping you out, but to run a whole planet- "
"WHAT?!"
Everyone asked that, making Allura's head hurt. Maybe Coran was right, maybe she would be overwhelmed by questions.
"H-how?" Keith stuttered.
"Since it was quite obvious that Allura chose Lance as her partner, it only makes sense that he rule Altea," Coran explained.
Maybe that was how things happened on Altea, but Allura sure as day did NOT think that's how humans did it.
She would have to ask later. Right now, she was engrossed in the drama, which was escalating.
"Why not man?" asked Hunk.
"Yeah, I mean, how quickly can you destroy a whole civilization?" Pidge asked in a teasing voice. Allura tried not to chuckle.
"Very funny, but I really can't," Lance said. Allura decided it was time to open her eyes.
Eh, five more minutes.
Alright, I know this is a really short one, but it felt like the perfect place to end this chapter. There are going to be more chapters, because I need to put more romance and pain into it. (Yes, pain is a must-have. Lance needs to feel pain because I love him)
