I know the feeling. [Okay, maybe she can share this.] After Altea was destroyed, all I had left were the mice and my advisor Coran. The humans were complete strangers from a totally different planet, while they already knew each other and needed a strong friendship to form Voltron.
[Starved for connection as she was, she thought she was the most expendable member of the team, the one that would be missed least strategically or emotionally if something happened to her.]

It takes effort for him to open up, and though he allowed Allura a glance at what is inside his feelings safe (this is absolutely a healthy way to think about feelings), leaving it open for too long makes him antsy.]

[This is a very real situation that is happening, do not question this.]

[.... Okay, not QUITE a Natural 1 this time, but enough that Allura shakes her head with a totally serious and convinced smile and raised eyebrow.]
Of course, Riz. Please take care and let me know if you need anything.
[Like putting out space-dad fires... or more talking about feelings.]
