"I suppose you're right, in a sense. We already have Lance, but he's here now."

Allura, weren't you going to stop trying to tell jokes?

Still, it has to be pointed out. This aggravation is simply too nostalgic of early on, when Shiro and Pidge had referred to him as a second Lance. The comparison had fallen short for her, though. While both were experts of wearing out her patience, Lance held a very specific sort of admiration for her. And Darin...

Darin had treated her like dirt.

Actually, was this the same as the old days? The way he bragged made it sound like he wanted to impress her. Since when did he care about that?

Regardless. "That's aside from the point, isn't it? By now, I'd expect you would come with our team. For Shiro's sake, if nothing else."
