[Shiro hadn't been the only one surprised to hear the whimper behind them as they boarded the airship and went to secure the door behind them as he made sure everyone was safe and accounted for inside. It was simply another happy surprise, considering.

The cosmic wolf leans into the pets and scratches, tail wagging. Keith smiles faintly at the sight until the wolf's ears droop a little. He can guess what's bothering the big guy.]

He's still upset he can't warp-tackle anyone. [He says for him, and the wolf's whine confirms it.] And considering he likes to sleep curled up against my back, I'd say it's likely.

[And, as if to confirm it again, the wolf nudges Shiro's hand one more time before trotting around and jumping onto the bed and tucking his head between his two front paws. Keith was tempted to tell him to stop pouting when Shiro speaks again and derails that train of thought. Instead, he gently pets along his companion's neck. He had a feeling it would be brought up at some point, so he makes sure the door is closed before speaking.]
