Re: Character reactions/questions
Allura probably kept back for a bit, sitting furthest. She would have looked like she was lost in thought with her arms crossed protectively and staring at one spot in the carpet, but she was actually paying complete attention to what Shiro was telling them. When Shiro asked her if there was anything she wanted to add, she blinked and glanced at him before telling the others what happened after Lotor first asked to fight with them:
- They took Lotor captive and he gave them intel that actually turned out to be completely true - Lotor took down Zarkon following some shady bzns with using Father Holt as bait, and then ended up being leader of the Galra, saying he wanted to bring peace - Team Voltron entrusted him after all of his intel checked out although there were "some people" who were hesitant. (She actually said "some people" instead of naming anyone.) Thus from that information, they know he's part Altean and had access to a lot of Altean artifacts and knowledge, and also how to obtain it. - Lotor and Allura went to THAT PLACE where they fought the White Lion, the name of which I'm brainfarting on right now. Though in the process, the Castle lost its power, etc. etc. - Allura had helped with building ships for Lotor that would carry all that extra quintessence that were intended to bring peace, but it all ended with Lotor's betrayal and what he did to the previous Alteans that had been in hiding. And when they found this out was the same time that Kuron's switch went off and he attacked them and took Lotor. - The ship going down that first time with Kuron's virus - Team Voltron destroying the portal, and then fighting a sociopathic Lotor, eventually succeeding but having to sacrifice the castle in order to save them from the rifts Lotor had created.
Things of note: - She definitely did NOT mention any sort of romantic feelings they had shared and how close they got. The words "Lotor betrayed us" would have been used although she would have used a lot of "I" when it came to talking about building Lotor's ships. - She also would not have mentioned that it was Keith and his mom who found out about the other Alteans. She'd have used the words "Just when we came back, you all managed to find out what Lotor's real motives were..." etc etc - The first time she mentioned Kuron by name, she would have went "Shi- I'm sorry, Kuron" - Throughout most of that, she managed to keep a good poker face, trying to explain everything as objectively as possible, although she did have to pause before explaining how they sacrificed the castle.
