[ 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.
