Disclaimer: I do not own Voltron or any of its characters. If I did own them, Nanny would be much nicer to 'the boys.' Also, all errors belong to me as I didn't have this one beta read. So let me beg forgiveness in advance.

This fanfiction is in response to a KAEX Challenge: What Happens in Dradin, Stays in Dradin – I know that the challenge said something about the "team" but mine isn't the team, but hey, it does have Nanny and isn't that even more fun than the team? This challenge was out before I joined, so I'll use that as my excuse. ; - D

Rating/Setting: Rating is T. Setting is DotU but Dradin… I know, they don't really go together, but give it a try…

Author's Notes: Still kinda setting the scene here. I'm sure you'll be asking where is the romance and glitz of Dradin? Chapter 3 gets that going.


Chapter Two

I'm not going to be able to take my eyes off of her, Keith thought to himself. To have a break from the smell, he and Allura had ridden into the city together. The others had ridden in a separate car, armed with barf bags, although there was little left in their stomachs at this point. He had to admit, Allura's excitement had infected him. She was treating this like a vacation, but this was an unplanned stop on a trip, and therefore, a security risk. When they had exited their car at Empire Resort, there was a gathering of photographers and journalists taking their pictures and asking questions. The only good thing about the attention was that all of it was focused on them, leaving the Empire staff free to get the other members of the Arusian party quickly and quietly into the building and to the waiting med staff.

Keith and Allura rode the exterior glass elevator to the penthouse suite with a very talkative Empire employee who was very excited to have members of the Voltron Force staying at the resort.

"I'm sure you didn't pack everything needed for a stay on Dradin. After all, New Balto is very different from Dradin." Giving each of them a bracelet, he said, "These bracelets will get you into your room and they also can be scanned for payment of goods and services. We have given each of you a credit line. The charges are on us. Please feel free to use all of Empire's many services. We hope that you will spread the word about your stay here and encourage others to visit." He beamed at each of them in turn as the elevator chimed. "Ah, here we are." Stepping out into the hall, he waved a card in front of the door and it opened into a luxurious living area.

Looking around the room, Keith thought it was the most opulent place he had ever stayed. The Garrison didn't pay for accommodations like these and while the castle was nice, it wasn't like this.

"Now. Commander, Princess, there are four bedrooms in the suite. Each has its own well-appointed bathroom and seating area. There are five of you, but I thought that perhaps two of your party could share a room. Will that be acceptable?" He raised an eyebrow and looked between the two of them after the suggestive comment.

Allura blushed but decided to ignore the implication. It was a little odd having this conversation with the employee, but she responded, "Yes, that will be fine. Let me just check out the rooms." Two of the rooms had double beds while the other two had king beds. "We'll put Jonas and Antonio in this room and Nanny can have this one." She would leave the rooms with the single beds for her and Keith.

Turning to the representative, Keith said, "If you would just bring up the luggage, I'll put it in the correct rooms."

Nodding, the rep turned to leave as the medical staff arrived with wheelchairs bearing the ill Arusians.

A tall, thin woman with coal black skin walked up to Allura. "I'm Dr. Kontra. We made a brief stop by our small medical facility with the patients to take their vital signs and assess the medications we needed to bring."

"What did you find out Doctor? We were told it was food poisoning."

Dr. Kontra turned her green eyes to Keith. "That was a correct assessment. Which rooms will the patients be assigned to?" She was all business.

Allura indicated the selected rooms and the doctor had the medics wheel the patients into them. "Please let the medical staff assist you in getting your friends into clean and comfortable clothes." As she spoke, the luggage arrived and Keith directed it to the correct rooms.

Keith and Allura took the doctor up on her offer of assistance and soon the sick Arusians were resting comfortably in their rooms with IVs hooked up to replenish nutrients and fluids they had lost. A member of the med team would be back in an hour to check on the patients.

Sinking gratefully into the plush couch, Keith and Allura leaned back. It was midnight and they were tired. Keith sent Allura to bed saying he would wait for the medic to come back in hour. When she went into her room, he decided to use the data pad to see what kind of things he could order. He didn't want to take advantage of their host's generosity, but when would he get another chance to be with Allura without Coran and Nanny around? Smiling, he started scanning through the options.
