[The blank mask surprises her, but she says nothing of it, thinks nothing of it, as he takes a moment.
She already knows bad news is coming. Her friends are all dead, and she is, too. That will be a burden to bear, but it's one she can handle. It was, after all, something that was doomed to happen. Nobody can live forever.
And, in a way, she's glad. Voltron will exist beyond them. Voltron's legacy will continue, the Universe will still be safe, and how could she possibly be upset about that? It's important. More important than her, or her love.]
Thank you for telling me.
[Her voice sounds distant, even to herself, and she feels so foolish. She will regain control of herself, she must, and she swallows again, rubs at her eye with the palm of her hand.]
Forgive me, I'm...This is a lot. I wasn't anticipating running into this today.
[Or ever. She can look at this objectively, though, see the bigger picture. She will allow herself time to grieve for what's to come later, in private, not in front of this alien man.]
