Keiko says you broke into the girl's locker room again.

[ Okay. He didn't know that his comm could get text messages, but hey, let's go with it. ]

Totally wasn't me, but, uh... who is this person so that I can yell at them for you?

[And maybe shake their hand, because damn. Not that Lance would ever do that - between Allura bench pressing him and the Wrath of Pidge (TM), it's totally not worth it. ]

[hateskid]

[ Is this Kaito trying to play a joke on her? Like she'd get his number wrong. ]

Just my idiot best friend.

[blue_paladin]

Doesn't sound like much of a best friend if he's spying on girls in the locker room.

[ Like seriously, breaking the lock makes it sound like he's in there after hours. There's no girls there then! ]

[hateskid]

He just likes to pick the lock.

[blue_paladin]

So it's like practice?

[hateskid]

Yeah, I guess.

[blue_paladin]

What does he need that skill for?

[hateskid]

He's a magician. Picking locks is really important in that field.

[blue_paladin]

So he's an escape artist then? Is he any good?

[hateskid]

Kaito if this is you fishing for compliments Aoko won't give you any.

[blue_paladin]

Nope. The name is Lance, don't know any Kaitos.

[hateskid]

Then yes! Kaito's probably the best!

[blue_paladin]

What else can he do?

[hateskid]

Aoko's not sure there's much he can't do.

[blue_paladin]

Oh, so he's one of those guys.

[hateskid]

What is that supposed to mean?

[blue_paladin]

I know a guy like that. Seemingly perfect and so damn good at whatever he does.

[hateskid]

Perfect is not a word Aoko would use to describe Kaito.

Maybe spastic.

[blue_paladin]

Spastic? What does he do for you to call him that?

[hateskid]

[ SIGH ]

If you met him you'd know.

[blue_paladin]

Doubt that's gonna happen. If this is like any other conversation I've had lately that wasn't with someone from my team, we're probably not even from the same world.

[hateskid]

What do you mean?

[blue_paladin]

Well, for one, I'm currently in space and several hundred light years away from Earth.

I think. I haven't asked Coran lately because it's just easier to not think about it.

[hateskid]

Why are you so far away? Some kind of Expedition?

[blue_paladin]

Nah. Just defending the universe.
