[He's wet from both the this little poof of rain and her tears, but he doesn't care. Just keeps her close, starting to rub comforting circles on her back.]

Don't apologize, okay? You're allowed to be stupid and childish and selfish sometimes. You're only human--okay, well, you're not human, but it's a phrase we use to say that we're all flawed creatures. No one's perfect, and no one's going to stay a rock solid wall no matter what's thrown at them. It's when you don't let yourself feel that you crack.

[Trust him, he knows.]

Easier said than done... Even before Zarkon's betrayal, I would've had to become Altea's queen someday, and head of the Voltron Alliance. Being a "rock solid wall"? It's not something I can just set down that easily, especially not with others' well-beings at stake.

You don't have to always be that, though. At least...don't force yourself to be all of the time. You can let your guard down sometimes.

[He pauses.]

Remember when you talked to me, around when you first got here, when I just came back from being tossed back to our world? And you helped me, you said I didn't have to always hold everything in, that I wasn't just being stupid for having feelings I thought were pointless to have. I want to help you now too, Allura.

[A soft, slightly bitter hum of a laugh.]

Defeated by my own advice it seems.

[She sighs, leaning against him a bit.]

But... I suppose I can try a little harder. Since you insist.
