Allura doesn't run a hand through her hair. It's already exactly where it ought to be, through some sort of Altean sorcery.
She furrows her brow for a moment, though. She had just been talking about if roles were reversed, after all. And if they were, that parental tone of Shiro's wouldn't have helped her mood much. Not everyone who needs help likes to receive it.
"All right, now. That's one too many apologies," she says, returning to the bed. "I'm trying to say that we missed you, not to make you feel ashamed for it!"
And as a gesture of good will, this time she'll start unhooking some of the wires and tubes from Darin. Not blindly. Things that she knows should be safe to remove. Look, it's a step in the right direction, isn't it?
"And... after all, you did prove abundantly that you can handle yourself, when the need arises. Yes, maybe it took some prodding to get you back. But you did come around, didn't you?"
