[He's been here for, what? Not even a week. Plenty of time to get the lay of the not-glitched out land and find this very convenient communal rock.

That he promptly ruins.]

Looking for some scissors! Preferably sharp enough to cut hair.
Deliver to Keith and Shiro's shack but don't hand them over to either of them, they'd probably just throw them away.

You'll know who's the right guy.

XOXO Lance

You've never been very good at taking care of yourself.

[Just sayin'.]

And how'd you learn there were things that wanted to eat you out there, huh?

XOXO

I woke up in the water in a dream-like reality and got attacked by sharks.

Then there's the siege against nightmares from the depths of the sea we had to endure when the sun was being reborn.

[...]

Sharks aren't usually that bad.

[But more importantly...hwat]

Can you run that by me again? Nightmares? The sun being reborn?

XOXO

Every so many eons the sun dies and the island of Chol shows up for it to incubate itself in.

When it does nightmareish creatures from the darkest depths come up and try to destroy it. It was a solid week of pitch black and freezing cold. We were in defensive camps to push them back. The main fighting was on Chol where the Jormun set up their defenses.

Right.

I mean, guess that's not any weirder than going into different planes of realities or whatever it is that makes the lions work so maybe I'm not in any place to question magical islands and the sun working in a way no star ever does.

XOXO

Exactly.

The sun is a giant phoenix here. ...actually, Ember is one of its kids.

- Keith

Did you know your bird was the son of the sun when you took him in?

XOXO

Yeah. He was small, ashy looking, and couldn't protect himself. He needed help so I helped.

- Keith

That's adorable.

XOXO

Okay?
The animals here are all weird.
Zizyphus has TigerLillies. They're plant tigers.
- Keith

The name's a little on the nose.

[But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to see one.

He also needs your help. You're his only hope.]

But more importantly than the weird animals, you know that XOXO means hugs and kisses, right? You're not that out of the loop.

XOXO

Is that what it means? I thought you just didn't want to write your name on here. Why are you writing that anyway.

- Keith

Well one, it's easier than writing my name anyways and because I'm a friendly dude! I am being friendly! People like you more when you're friendly.

Also how do you not know that? Did you never get letters from secret admirers or even a Valentine's Day card out of obligation from your classmates or something??

XOXO

No. Loner, remember?

[Wow, that's depressing enough even Keith notices it.]

Most people here are from all over and from all realities. Some of us are really not human on top of that. XOXO is going to be lost in translation sometimes.

Just explain it when someone's confused and it probably will get adopted by some of them.

- Keith

Even loners have people who like them!

[That is too close to being both defensive and sincere. Unfortunate.]

I did explain it! And they said it was weird and I'm making it up! But I'm not. Obviously.

XOXO

Yeah, you guys.

[Which says way too much about his life up until Voltron. Let's skip past that little fact.]

So it got lost in translation there. That's fine. You could ask them what they do to be friendly. Consider it a cultural exchange?
