[ Lance's - well, everyone's - attention is drawn when Allura's hand leaves his and she moves away from the group, his gaze turning with worry and wonder. Both Shiro and Lance rise, but only Lance approaches.
He's seen her do this a million times; it always felt like such an admirable place for her to be. A few things cross his mind as he approaches and watches carefully; he remembers the day Lotor betrayed them and standing with Allura on the pedestal that flew the Castle of Lions, holding her and grieving for her pain. He'd felt a bit selfish then, loving her unconditionally already, but he supposes that's also when her own feelings started. Maybe not, but it felt that way.
And then he remembers the pedestals that also stood on Oriande. He'd scarcely known what they were for, but their familiarity had been so potent that he'd set his hands on them like an instinct - and so in this way he found Allura after seven long and lonely years.
It's interesting seeing her here like this now. He moves just slightly into her peripheral, watching for a quiet moment before speaking: ] Anything coming back to you?
