[He mulls that over. Yes, Shiro could have just flown Black up and away. But he knows him rather well. Something feels off. It's like realizing he got set up in a fight and seeing the kick coming too late to dodge. What to do?]
I only saw the Black Lion but, I didn't see you. [He'd made a call. The right one no matter what anyone says.]
Lotor was in the Trial of the Kral Zera, wasn't he? If the explosives started going off you'd have been right out there to haul him back to the Lion. [He meets his friend's eyes with a calm he doesn't feel inside. He's grasping what he's seen and what he knows, shaping it together.]
I'm not sorry I made the call. [He's worried where this will go. At least he sounds calm and steady and looks the part. ...Why is Shiro is so hesitant? He doesn't like that look on his face. He reaches out to touch his arm and tries to gentle his tone.] I made sure neither of you died.
...Listen, Shiro. I'm not...I'm not judging you. You made your call. I made mine. I just didn't get the communication gap. If it was last minute that makes it clear. Just next time at least reach out to me. I'll pass the message on to Kolivan as fast as I can.
Not well is about how this will go.
