[But of course Keith is distracted by it. He wonders if Shiro realizes the extent of it. After the Kerberos mission went missing, well, Keith learned what it was like to try to go on without the only person who'd ever believed in him, the only person he'd ever trusted enough to rely on. Since then he's had to go through it again, and that had nearly broken him too. He knows what it's like to lose someone, and he's not going to go through that again if he can do anything to avoid it.
He wonders if Shiro is aware how instantly Keith will drop everything for his sake. Like he had been ready to throw the entire Blade mission at the Kral Zera. Like he'd been willing to ram his fighter into Galra cruiser (for everyone, for Voltron and the resistance, but for Shiro, too). Maybe not. Shiro hasn't lived through those things yet. And even the Shiro in his own time, well, Keith doubts he knows about those things.]
More healers... so you think we'll need them? [Magical healing could come in handy, of course, especially if the errands Astoria sends them on lead to combat of one form or another.]
