Spit? Huh. I haven't tried that...mostly I just have to touch someone. Although, I have found that hugs seem to be more effective than anything else.
[Although, theoretically, if his powers were about contact, then spit should also work. Of course, this was him trying to apply science and logic to a magical power and he'd seen how far that had gotten him in the past.]
Oh. So you're part...gem? [Did he get that right?] I have a friend who is part Galra. [Wait, he hadn't mentioned who the Galra were yet. Hunk quickly adds.] That's the name of the race that was trying to conquer the universe, the Galra. There are a few nice ones though who we've worked with in the past. So, I guess you could argue that a lot of them are just misguided too, probably because of the guy who's been ruling them for over thousands of years.
[Hearing Steven's story is a little reassuring in a way. Maybe if they keep at this whole Voltron thing they can turn it around as well.]
I hope we can do the same. They haven't managed to get to Earth...but there are still a lot of planets out there that have been conquered by them and need help.
[And now it sounds a little bit like Steven needs to be reassured, Hunk looks at him with sympathy.]
It's hard not to worry about that stuff, huh? Especially after how far you've come. [He puts a reassuring hand on Steven's shoulder.] Don't worry, you said you had friends that were helping you, right? I bet they can help make sure things stay on course. We have to support each other.
