[Keith shook his head.] No, I'm not. But thanks for the offer. [He gave Shoto a small nod to acknowledge the exchanging of names.]

Yeah. My team back home, one of the guys says that all the time. He's got our backs. So, that's what we do.

[Shiro would be so proud right now...

Keith settled in to recover some energy. It had been a long and hard climb, and that cave didn't sound like it was going to be any easier tomorrow to finish their journey.]

We should definitely rest up, though. I can't imagine making our way through the inside of a volcano is going to be any easier than the climb to get here.

[It was just going to be difficult in other ways.]
