Of course. [Anyone who so much thinks otherwise is likely going to get punched. Twice. As he pulls away, she almost freezes like a young child caught in front of a klanmüirl.
She looks up, surprised. If he recalls what the clone experienced, then he knows exactly how much she messed up... Allura's almost afraid to ask, yet he says this regardless if he does or not. She really is the lucky one.]
You never did tell me what you thought of it. [The arm, that is. Though a hint of mischief sparks in her gaze.] And I hope you won't use it to cheat too much while sparring.
[She totally hopes he "cheats". It'll be hilarious watching Lance shriek.]
[ They all make mistakes. But Shiro is of the mind that what really, truly matters, is how one deals with it afterward. Hell, Shiro's made more than enough mistakes--he's not perfect, despite what plenty of others think--but he still has amazing friends. An incredibly boyfriend. And... a family he wouldn't trade for the world.
Shiro chuckles quietly. ]
Like I'd use my arm for evil. [ The playful look in his eyes says otherwise. ] But to answer that... It's perfect. A lot more comfortable than the Galra tech. It feels warmer.
[Okay, that's fair. Though she hopes she can at the very least make it up to Keith for pressuring him to lead in a way that wasn't his own back then. Slowly. By actually listening-]
[Allura sighs, shaking her head as she finally pulls away.]
If you can punch as hard as Keith can kick, I'll be impressed.
[Her... abdomen may still be bruised a little from their sparring while he was gone. Owie. Totally worth it to get that grin out of him, though. Even if it was only temporary.]
She was about to make a comment on it, but his question forces that thought aside. She lets out a sigh.]
It.. has been a challenge, I'll admit. Though I haven't truly had a chance to settle just yet.
[She means the water and then the trials, which she... has only barely talked to a few people with about. And of them, only Keith knows who and what she heard.]
[The differences in technological advancement are not lost upon her, as is how it's affected her alchemy. Yet, adapting is something her race is known for. She's accepted this challenge.
It'll just... take a little for her to manage not to accidentally burn things that aren't supposed to be burned. brb joining the prep team]
Thank you. [Though the way she says it, it's not just for the offer.] I was about to head to the beach to train, if you'd like to..?
[She needs to grow accustomed to her limitations and she's been slowly paranoid about being ineffective in a fight ever since the maze.]
[ It's, honestly, been some time since he sparred. Shiro feels rusty, and he doesn't want to be a burden on any of his friends or teammates. Or, really, anyone else here. ]
[A princess in recovery and a rusty captain walk out onto the beach...]
I'll warn you; I'm not as strong as I am in our reality. ...Could probably still throw you, however.
[It's an easy tease as she leads the way out. She's not quite recovered from the battle and then the trials; she'd had to fight monsters alone for a good portion of it with only her fists or whatever she found laying around, and it likely showed while sparring with Keith.]
[ And it gets him to laugh lightly. Yeah, even if she's not as strong, she's still ridiculously strong, he's sure. There aren't many people who can throw him such a long distance so effortlessly. ]
Don't worry. I don't doubt that at all. ... I'd rather not experience it again if I can help it, though.
[In agility, possibly. Strength is mostly limited to an earthling's level, as annoying as it is for her. She has to be careful how much of her usual strength she uses or she's exhausted.
... Something flickers across her expression for a split instant but lingers in her eyes as her chin lowers so slightly it's barely noticeable.]
I don't think I'll be throwing you into an escape pod any time soon.
[Not without him grabbing the back of her shirt with his new prosthetic and dragging her with him, anyway. She slows down enough to walk by his side.]
... And I promise not to do so again in a similar context.

And I can throw a pretty great punch with it.

Yeah? I guess you'll just have to wait and see. And I'm definitely not going to go easy on you, Princess.

Anyway-- I wanted to ask you. How have you been doing here? I know it's a lot different from being up in space.

I'm glad to hear it. And you know if you need anything, we'll all do what we can to help.
