01 ✨ Homecoming

Who: Allura and anyone who happens to be dropping by
Where: Island Four, Beach House
When: October
Summary: Allura is reunited with her friends
Rating: Should be PG


Allura isn't entirely sure what to expect when Shiro's Skarmory touches down on the beach in front of building that seems charmingly antiquated to a person who grew up in a castle that is also a spaceship.

It looks like the kind of place someone could begin a fresh life. A new life.

It's a little daunting, this idea of starting over from scratch in a new, alien world. She might reinvent herself entirely but for her friends' presence; they tether her inexorably to her old life and the person they remembered from whatever point in time they'd been plucked.

She follows behind Shiro, equal parts nerves and excitement at the prospect of seeing them again. It doesn't feel like it's been long since they parted ways, but that parting was so bittersweet and none of them will have the slightest idea.

"I'm home."

[ Allura is seated on the couch in the beach house with her Swablu perched on her knees. She waves once at the screen, smiling pleasantly. ]

Hello! I'm Allura, and this is Blaytz. I'm very recently arrived and it seems proper to introduce myself and my new companion. [ Blaytz chirrups and flaps his little cloud wings, and she gives him a scritch in the floof under his beak. ] My friends have explained many things to me, but I've no doubt there is much more that I have yet to learn.

I look forward to meeting you all in my travels.

I've been here for two months only. Compared to a lot of others, that's a fairly small advantage.

But I can't say I've been lazy during that time, either. We made a lot of progress, my team and I.

[ And he shouldn't brag because it's really not much compared to experienced trainers, but he's still proud. It's nice to progress quickly at learning a new skill after all. ]
