[He returns her tiny smile with one of his own. Telling her was the right thing. Riza had understood just what he wanted to be understood. No need to make a big deal out of it. For all the pain there was a lot of good that came about too.] It's life. It's pretty adventurous and a little bit much at times...but I'm alive. That's good enough for me.

I get to spend it with pretty incredible people. [His smile grows wider, reaching his eyes and softening his expression. He looks away again but this time to be sure no one will intrude as he adds, his tone a touch amused.]

Just don't start too hard next time you see Keith. [He trails a finger down the side of his face from below the eye down.] Older too. He's been through just as much as I have...in different ways. It's because of him and Allura I'm alive again.

Allura is here. We have four of my team and a...potential ally. [He frowns as he draws back a step. Lotor. He will work with him and carefully try to teach him better ways. If he can. Shiro focuses on what is more important for now.]

Keith is alright. Older, yes. And don’t worry, I’m very attached to this idea we call living and breathing.

[He relaxes. Four of six Paladins have found their way to this Circle. And now a lot of his questions have finally been answered. Shiro runs a hand through his hair.] Keith is fine. And...I really am too. A lot of questions have been answered.

[And he is finally free.]

[That makes him pause. He had had so many questions as far back as looking at Ulaz in the Castle Ship. Some were answered and when he found his way here...more drew up at the distance between him and Keith. More and more built as Lotor, Allura, and Lance appeared. He'd seen the looks.

Shiro tips his head slightly and nods once.]
Enough of them. The important ones.

[That had to be enough for now.]

It's...complicated. I think we can turn him from his path. Or at least...temper it. But I'll think more on that later. Let's take a bit of a walk. This city feels a little different.

[Everything feels different since he's been dead and come back.]

I think so. Life in the Circle exposes us to so many walks of life and ways to be. Whether he does or doesn't, [He shrugs as he turns and walks into the city, his hands at his sides. He'd thought to put them in his pockets but...nah.]

That's up to him.

[The wind blows through and he tips his head up to feel it. He'll go flying later. Even battered he should keep up his routine.]

...I admit I'm...not used to having the important answers. Usually it's just a lot of questions and only some of the answers. This is pretty freeing.

[He rubs the back of his neck as he looks back at her, his expression a little sheepish.]

It feels like I'm a new man. Which is funny coming from a man whose soul was shoved into his own evil clone.

[He reaches out to steady her with one hand. He winces,] Sorry, I was trying to lighten the mood a bit.

[One would think he'd know better. It's the third bad joke he's made and it's fallen as flat as the first two. He gently keeps a hand on her arm until she's walking normally. He immediately lets go.] It is a lot to take in.

...I'm still not quite right. It will take some time before I feel...entirely myself. As for how much I need to redirect.

It will take some doing. All he says and does seems honest but...I need to determine how much.

I do. ...With a lot of time. [Read: He's evil, Riza. But possibly guidable.]

A lot of time and patience. I have to try. I can see where this could go and why things went so far was an outside force.

[He trails off and shakes his head. He turns a soft smile on her that's tired but very real. Riza has been his friend for a while. One he trusts and would do almost anything for.] ...But, thank you. Right now it's all a mess. I don't know what sort of help will be needed.

It's like...I remember being dead and living...that's, [His brows furrow and he brings up a hand to rub his temples.] making it hard to think the way I need to be thinking.

I can't afford to be down when we have a job to do here.

[He listens to Riza lay it all out there. Their friendship has been based on honesty and being real with one another when they tried to shove things under the rug and move on. He feels mildly guilty for causing her any concern. She's been through enough.

She has more than a valid point. His instincts are to just keep charging ahead in human form or as the Lion. Shiro lightly lays a hand on her shoulder as his smile falls into sheepish grinning like a kid caught doing something they shouldn't.]


Working is...how I keep going. I am processing all that happened. But if I don't have anything to do, [He waves a hand out to the side. Without anything to do, he spins his wheels uselessly and there's way too much in his head waiting for the right moment to slam into him.]

It's alright. You never have to apologize for speaking your mind to me. You are right, taking time to heal is important. ...I'll try to take more downtime than working time and see if that makes it easier for myself.

[And for anyone worrying about him. He knows how the team feels about it. Hell maybe a few naps during the day would make them all breathe easier.]

I didn't take it as a reprimand. You're worried and for good reason. [His smile shifts growing a little lighter and brightens up his grey eyes. It had sounded like reasonable advice to him. Reprimand or no, it isn't wrong.]

And I'll be careful. ...I know just how easy it would be to push it too far. [He won't let himself slip like that. The team needs his support and he wants to be there for them.]

...and I have a few people to remind they should pace themselves. [His smile turns wry and a little playful too.] If I overdo it what kind of example I am setting?

Anyway, I'm sticking to the ground and on foot or vehicle for at least a week. Shapeshifting requires a lot of energy.
