[It took a moment for things to click. His last recollection from home, and then... BAM... resurgence of memories from Avalon. So, he went looking for familiar faces, hoping to get some answers... once he climbed out of the fountain in the middle of town.
What had changed? How long had he been gone? What was the current state of things? He'd be asking anyone that looked like they'd been pulled into this place like he'd been, even if they weren't someone he already knew.]
Can I ask you something?

Getting Hot in Here
[Working with his kotka familiar, Keith found he was a little rusty on his magic and focus. He was hoping he could get back into this fast, though, because this trip to the volcano was going to likely be dangerous. He was focusing as well as he could be, and, any time he got distracted or lost track, he was rewarded with a tail slap to the back of the head from his familiar.]
Alright! Alright! I'm trying! Apparently, I've been gone for a bit. Geeze...

Magnanimous
[So, yeah... riding dragonback? Awesome! Keith really wanted to talk more with them, maybe ride longer, but he knew that wasn't going to happen for several reasons. One, they had a quest to finish. Two, the dragons were doing them a favor, and weren't likely to tolerate some tiny human fanboy wanting to cruise around the skies of Avalon endlessly.
So, he managed to hold back and just thank them quietly before they left.
And then, it was time to climb... Keith was pretty nimble, thankfully, though that was a bit reduced in Avalon. Part of his agility came from his Galra side, apparently. He was still glad for whatever advantages he could get, though, and would definitely grab for anyone who looked in danger of slipping.]
Gotcha. Just hang on... [And gently help them back on to the path.
Once at camp, he managed to grab a few extra waters and offered them around to others to share with a small, quiet, but tired smile.]
That was a rough climb. You should have some.

Turnkey
[It didn't get any easier inside the volcano, either. It was hot. It was stinky. It was stuffy. It was hard to breathe. There were a few times where Keith was pretty sure he'd never catch his breath again, forced to stop and lean his hands on his knees for a few moments in attempts to regain some strength. The limited glow from the lava streams didn't help with lighting, and Keith had ended up making a few torches for people with his fire magic. It was better than nothing.
Once at their destination, well... that little poem kind of said it all. Keith looked around, noticing the number of keys the box needed and the conveniently matching number of lavaflows.
Okay, Keith's done some dumb weird stuff in his life, but he had his limits. Reaching into a lavaflow was definitely one of them.]
Oh, heck no.
[Really? This was the way to get it? He sighed with a groan. He really shouldn't be surprised.]
Keith | Voltron: Legendary Defender | Elemental/Animal | Guess who's back? Back again?
