I hope so, too.

[ And, like always with Keith, it's said completely sincerely and genuinely. Even if it hurts knowing Keith--his best friend--doesn't remember him, Shiro refuses to let that sour their relationship. That's in no way fair to his shinki, who's far from at fault. More than that, Shiro is just happy to have Keith at his side, on his team with Pyrrha and Roxas.

He squeezes Keith's shoulder again, before he drops his hand. ]

And you know, this isn't a one-time thing. I'm always here for you, Keith, to talk or vent or train the frustration away.

Thank you.

[For the offer, for this, for... everything he's done for Keith so far.]

I don't think I'm in much of a position to keep training right now, though. [It's a comment made to lighten up the situation, just a touch, though after he says it, he pauses again, the atmosphere dropping once more as another thought makes its way to the front of his mind.]

I don't want to stop being your shinki. [Not even for a moment has he really thought that, despite the fact that he was never planning on it in the first place. He likes how well they manage to work together, having someone as reliable as Shiro to look to, and the team they've built is a good one. However...] If I ask another god to name me too, would you be okay with that?

[For a while he'd been considering it anyway, with all he's been through, having that kind of safety net just strikes him as a smart idea. Shiro can't control who this place keeps around any better than Lance could, and while the idea of planning on 'in case he loses Shiro too' is pretty upsetting, if he's already being open and honest right now... why not see what he thinks about it?]

[ He falls quiet as he considers that. It's a smart move, and while Shiro doesn't want to leave, what Pidge told him... it haunts him. He'd left Keith not only once, but twice, after the fight with Zarkon.

And who's to say it won't happen again, here? ]

I wouldn't have a problem with that. [ And truthfully, he doesn't. He wants Keith to be prepared just in case.

He gives Keith a little smile. ]

Whoever names you, I'm going to have to make sure they treat you well.

[ ... it's only partly a joke. ]

[The chances that he would have gone through with something like this sooner or later are pretty high, but knowing he has Shiro's approval means he'd surely feel a lot better about it.]

It'd probably be Yona, if she agrees. [Oh wow he had that all lined up already, didn't he? He wants to put any worries Shiro might have, joke or otherwise, to rest as quickly as possible.] She and Yoon have done a lot to help me out during the times I didn't have a name, so if I can do that much to help repay them and keep them safe... I'd really like to.

[The wolf, by now, has finished all the snacks Shiro left out for him, and is now making himself cozy by curling up next to him. So big, so warm, so soft...!]
