@StealthMasterxI Keith didn't have that much to pack, either, so he was ready to leave at the same time as Marajk. The shuttle was ready, a smile on his face.
"You ready?" He asked, bag slung over his shoulder.
@StealthMasterxI He laughed softly. "Promise, no dating without you checking them out fully first."
He nodded. "Yeah, go get your stuff together, and we can head to Earth."
@StealthMasterxI He chuckled, shrugging.
"You're too kind, but I just worry about you. If you're going to be on Earth I want to be sure you're being treated right. Or... You know, heads will roll.",
@StealthMasterxI "Look, I know you can take care of yourself but what kind of person would I be to leave you alone on Earth? You could probably knock most of the people who are going to give you trouble on their ass, but I want to be close if you need me."
Marak was a skilled fighter, but --
@StealthMasterxI "Yeah, we can go look around together, find a nice place with a garage you can work from."
Keith smiled softly, not liking to see Marak upset.
@StealthMasterxI Keith blinked slowly.
"... Do you *want* to go to Earth?" he asked carefully, watching his mother figure intently. "We can both go to Earth, I'll get us a place. Together."
@StealthMasterxI "Too much has changed, *people* have changed... It has been quiet." He shrugged.
"Even I've found it hard to be around, since everything changed."
@StealthMasterxI "Huh." He looked around, eyes narrowed.
"I'm surprised it's so quiet, to be honest. Normally I'm attacked by like, four of the recruits before I can step off the transport."
@StealthMasterxI He scoffed, shaking his head. “You should never be left alone for too long, that’s not fair.”
Keith sighed, nodding. “Yeah, I was alone. I mean, sort of. Some diplomatic thing that took forever, I’m sorry.”
@StealthMasterxI He chuckled, slowly pulling out of the hug to look at her.
"Maybe? I was on a planet with really crazy gravity." He smiled. "You're looking great."
@StealthMasterxI “I won’t lie, it was a shock. Mostly because aside I thought your dad was going shoot me out of an airlock without a suit…”
He chuckled nervously. “But… He hasn’t. Yet. And anyway… I love you.”
