It's alright. It's not to be expected. There are just so many people here with so many different abilities, it's difficult to keep track.
[ He looks down at the offered support, eyes widening with surprise. Lance is truly proving himself to be a good bean, and he doesn't think himself above taking the offered help. He doesn't let much of his weight rest on him, but enough to take some of the pressure off his left leg. ]
Thank you. And no, nothing as official as that. Perhaps I'm sabotaging them by telling you, seeing as how you work for the law enforcement here, but think of it more as... an underground Colosseum.
[ lance is curious about that, wondering what sort of skills a man, a doctor like frankenstein would need that he'd seek out a fight club to hone them in...
but then the man goes and brings up his favorite topic — himself — and. well. he's sufficiently distracted.
for now. ]
Oh, yeah. Before all this, I was a paladin of Voltron, you know! A defender of the universe. [ i mean. that didn't go so well, obviously, but evil alien empire =/= giant freak universe-eating storms okok ] I serve and protect all over the place!
[ That’s just fine with him, because he’d much rather talk about Lance, too! He’s surprised by how quickly Lance looks proud of himself, and it’s honestly pretty cute. ]
Of the universe? You hear about some pretty lofty and important ambitions among our kind, [ meaning the other refugees ] but I’ve never heard of anyone protecting the entire universe.
Do you mind me asking what kind of powers you possess, Lance? I consider myself quite powerful, [ and humble, too ] but certainly not on the level of being able to protect Earth, much less the universe. [ He has no idea what paladin of Voltron means, but he has no reason to doubt Lance’s claims, and for someone to protect the universe… ]
[ ah.... eheh. at that, lance's smile dies down... but just by a tinge. ]
Well — I don't have any powers, actually... I mean. I'm a pretty talented sharpshooter! [ but... in the grand scheme of things... he doesn't really have a lot going for him. not like the other paladins. ]
But, um. Mostly — I just happened to be at the right place, at the right time. [ now his smile turns a little sheepish. humble. ] Voltron's this giant robot made up of smaller, robot lions. Five in total, and me and my friends — we all pilot one.

[ it's kind of surprisingly how rapidly lance's expression of worry shifts into one of utter exasperation. ]
Like a fight club?
[ look he's in with the times, okay, he knows what you crazy kids can get up to. ]
Wow, I, uh. Didn't know that was your scene...
no subject
I never imagined I'd be scolded by you. The feeling is a little embarrassing. [ It's usually him doing the scolding... ]
I just didn't want my skills to get rusty. [ So truly, don't waste concern on him. ]
But, speaking of skills, I didn't know you were the serve and protect type.
