Snacks aren't training time!

[businessinfront]

That's what the Galra want you to think.

[yablueit]

Good thing the Galra aren't here!

[ Present company excluded, obviously, but Keith doesn't count anyway. ]

[businessinfront]

So we should take advantage of the opportunity.

[ There's a distinctly Shiro-esque quality to his cadence, like he's not-quite-intentionally mimicking his inflection. ]

[yablueit]

I think we can take advantage of the opportunity without it interrupting food time. Food's good for morale, right? That's important too.

[businessinfront]

Sounds like slacker talk.

[yablueit]

Sounds like well-balanced team management.

[ He flicks a piece of rice at Keith. ]

[businessinfront]

[ And of course Keith tries to catch it in his mouth just so he can prove something or other to Lance, but it turns out that it's a lot harder than it sounds, and it sticks to the front of his bangs. ]

You wanna take this outside?

[yablueit]

[ He laughs and reaches over to brush the rice grain off Keith's hair. ]

Nah, I'm comfy in here.

[businessinfront]

[ That is



the most foreign gesture. ]

... See. Slacker.

[yablueit]

Yeah, maybe.

[ He sets his mostly finished bowl of rice on the side table and stretches out, putting his feet up on the coffee table like an animal, gesturing at the TV on the wall across from them. ]

Man, we gotta work on getting some movies or something here. These TVs Hunk and Pidge made are great, but we don't have anything to watch...

[businessinfront]

[ Keith makes himself relax again, even if it feels like he's unwinding one slow muscle at a time. ]

Get them from where? Or are you gonna make your own?

[yablueit]

I guess we can get stuff from home? Somehow? I'm not really sure how it works, but Hunk mentioned it.

[businessinfront]

And the thing you want is... movies.

[yablueit]

It's not like it's the only thing. But I don't know how it works! People leave suddenly, right? I don't want to bring something important from home, only for it to wind up stuck here forever.

[businessinfront]

... oh. Yeah. Good point.

[ Keith tips his head back with a sigh. ]

So what kind of movies?

[yablueit]

Well, I love thriller suspense stuff. Not like, horror jumpscare kind of movies, not that those aren't cool too, but stuff that gets you really hooked into what's going to happen next.

[businessinfront]

The hunter becomes the hunted.

[ Keith nods like that's something profound. ]

[yablueit]

Yeah, exactly!

[ Lance is surprised, but seems genuinely thrilled that Keith remembered some dumb joke he made ages ago. ]

What about you?

[businessinfront]

[ There's the smallest pause, and he shrugs. ]

I don't know. I never watched a lot of TV or anything...

[yablueit]

Really? Not even at the Garrison?

[businessinfront]

[ Because it's Lance, Keith's defenses go up automatically. Maybe it was an innocent question. Maybe the implication, that's weird, is all in Keith's head. Still, he frowns. ]

Yeah, that's why I went to flight school.

[yablueit]

Well, no, obviously not. But we still had downtime. Hunk and I threw movie parties all the time in our dorm.

[businessinfront]

I missed the invite.

[yablueit]

It wasn't like we had a guest list...
