[BECAUSE ALLURA PUT YOU ON WINDOW DUTY IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Lance is being ultra careful, which, by osmosis, is making him keep real still in the meantime. Maybe...it's vision is based on movement? Maybe it is going to transform and he'd rather not prompt it to do so any faster by moving when Lance hasn't got the window all the way open. If it does start doing anything suspicious, he does have his knife on him....

He's impatient and the window's mostly open. Okay. He'll abruptly fling the empty canister at the agitated bug after that sustained three-second pause. Contact's made, but the bug doesn't fall. It just goes quiet as the can clamors against the floor. He's hoverhanding his knife just in case, but...it just...looks stuck?]

This isn't working.

[Annnnd it's emitting an orange fog-like mist, this one less-opaque than the other. Like a freakin' smokescreen, or the makings of one.]

[competing]

Ohmygod you did it.

[ he looks to keith like he's the actual ruiner of worlds, bringer of the apocalypse. ]

You've killed us! That's probably some toxic alien gas!

[ at least it isn't a space skunk... amirite.... ]

[emblazes]

It's the same thing as before!

[Just yellowfartstuff. It's darker, yeah, but how many deadly functions can one dumb bug have? Black widows and similarly vicious bugs don't count. Nevermind that it's an alien bug with unknown functions which was the entire purpose of him being concerned in the first place.

It's just, once Lance starts complaining, his stance changes.]

Maybe -- it might be dead? [Squinting through the fartfog with a forearm covering his face.] It's not moving.

[Maybe he mushed it into the ceiling and it's now exiting this realm in the form of a death cloud.]

[competing]

[ lance quiets, inching a little closer to get a better look. squinting up, he can sort of... see how keith might think it's dead. i mean it's not moving, for one thing. and it does look like it's just kind of. pressed there. ]

...Aww. That's sad.

[ ??? look don't ask him to make sense of this rollercoaster of emotions okay. HUSBAND AND WIFE BUGS ARE DEAD. what if they had kids... now they're orphans...!

also the gas isn't turning their skin green or making them vomit their guts out or anything... so not having that kind of panic is nice. ]

[emblazes]

[Is...it? The thing was a nuisance. It probably didn't even know it was killed, either. Keith spares a moment of mourning, looking from Lance to Allura, back and forth several times..and clears his throat.]

I'll boost you if you think you can scrape it off.

[If those bugs procreated, they're all in for more noisy-early mornings.]

[juniberries]

[Meanwhile Allura finally lifts up the book she squashed the bug with as this back and forth between the two boys is going on, the dead and done creature stuck to the cover, leaving behind its guts on the ground.

So she just sets the book corpse-side up on a counter, nudging it near Keith and Lance's current situation, one hand over her mouth to keep from inhaling the gas, even if it's nothing dangerous.]

[competing]

[ lance just gives keith a dry look. like he can trust the other boy won't "accidentally" drop him... ]

Or, I can boost the princess.

[ he turns towards allura eagerly. if he's gonna be doing some heavy (not that you're heavy, princess!) labor, he might as well try and make it as pleasant as possible!

for him, that is.

he laces his fingers between his knees, squatting down some. ]

Climb on, Allura! I gotcha.

[juniberries]

[she stares at him.

and then looks down at her nightgown.

then back at Lance.]








Why not give Keith a boost?

[emblazes]

[For what it's worth, Keith's not bothered by the bugsquashed book. That can just be the thing they use to kill bugs from now on.

Not a good distraction from Lance's perversion. He's looking skeptically between them; where's Shiro when you need an intervention?]

Why are you making her scrape the bug off?

[Have her boost you...coward. Sissy. Not to say she's too prissy or incapable -- she did murder the first one, but how ungentlemanly can ya be.]

[competing]

[ mAKING HER BOOST HIM IS EVEN MORE UNGENTLEMANLY?

ok you know what, fine, fun team bonding time is over. ]

Why doesn't Keith just get a chair and scrape it off himself since he made the mess in the first place?

[emblazes]

[He doesn't know....he doesn't know that...]

[juniberries]

[Holy quiznak you boys are just!!!

Allura sighs, LOUDLY, and taking the bug corpse book once more she comes between the two of them and the squashed ceiling bug, and with little preamble, begins to shift to a taller height so she's a good heads taller than both Keith and Lance.

Using the book and her ease of access, she barely has to reach up, and she scrapes the bug and its guts along with it, letting it fall to the floor.

Then she silently drops the book down on the floor primarily for dramatic effect, shrinks back to her normal height, and goes to the kitchen sink to wash her hands.]

[emblazes]

[emblazes]

[He'll watch it plop from the ceiling to the floor, quietly, comically quiet as Allura ends the entire argument in under a minute.]

[emblazes]

[annnd she's gone.]

[emblazes]

You pissed her off again.

[Lance.]

[competing]

—Me? You're the one that couldn't even get rid of a bug properly!

[ technically, that's all of them. but he's dropping this conversation! (partly because he's losing) and rushing off after allura, simpering. ]

That was really cool, princess! You sure showed those bugs who's boss..! Heh.

[emblazes]

[He'll just. Watch Lance skitter off and do that. He's got bugstuff to deal with, even still.

He'll take to a knee, pinch the insect's leg between his fore and thumb and...just...head to the bathroom to flush it into the sewers. Oyasumi bugdad(??).]
