Who: Lance & Shiro
When: Shortly after Hifumi’s departure.
Where: The remains of her temple, Serapis temple
What: After hearing so much about people up and leaving, Lance experiences someone up and disappearing, leaving him homeless.



[It happens one day, when Lance is out. He’d just intended to take a walk around the district, and when he gets back the temple is just...gone. In its place are ruins, like it’s been gone for centuries and not five minutes.

By now, he knows what this means. He’d met enough people willing to explain the way things work here. Hifumi is gone. She’s left. He doesn’t know where gods go to when they leave the Heavens, but he hopes she’s gone somewhere where she can be happy. That’s the least anyone deserves, and Hifumi seemed nothing but nice.

He slowly picks through the temple, amazed and despairing of how it was so immediately reduced to nothing both, until he comes across something salvageable. A shogi board. Hifumi had started teaching him how to play, and...he wants to take it. Bring it with him, wherever he goes.

The question is, now, where does he go? He stands in the middle of the ruins, holding the board, and....thinks.]

[ Shiro has made it a point to walk by the temple, whenever he can. Honestly, he can't pinpoint an exact reason. Maybe some part of him still feels responsible for Lance--and Keith, even though he isn't a part of Voltron anymore and Lance doesn't remember him. Or... maybe, more likely, it's because Lance is his friend and he knows Lance has a lot weighing on him.

And part of him is worried that, some day, the temple will disappear and Lance will be left in a pile of rubble.

It's a good thing he comes around today. He doesn't see Hifumi's temple, and his heart sinks. The only thing--person--there is Lance, holding something in his hands. It takes less than half a moment for Shiro to approach, and he clears his throat lightly. ]

Lance?
