[ for all that shiro's adopted a more flippant tone, keith's known shiro long enough to be able to tell when his best friend is actually amused. this time? he thinks shiro's missed the mark by a degree or two. sore subject? maybe.
but keith lets shiro distract him a little by briefly trying to picture adam's life in gloucester. it doesn't take a genius to know adam wouldn't exactly be thriving with fear eating clowns or naked horse monsters or wormhole concealing playgrounds. hell, the garrison's whole existence revolves around training hard enough that 90% of the variance that could possibly happen on a given mission is something that has at least the foundations of a protocol drilled into everyone's heads. here, there's none of that. adi didn't even bother projecting the image of preparedness. what had their instructions been both times they went to dogtown on a mission? go look for evidence of the supernatural? despite himself, keith scoffs. but for all that adam would especially hate being here taking orders from reyes and the others, it's not like either he or shiro are faring that much better.
or maybe shiro is. there've been at least a few nights where the feeling of being watched was so severe that keith has had to give up sleeping on the bed entirely and make a fort for himself out of spare sheets and bedding in the corner. not the point though. keith clears his throat, not quite managing eye contact or a smile as he tries to keepthe conversation on "safe" topics. ]
Are exes really that scary? [ the question is meant to match the flippant tone, but there's something too earnest in keith's voice. like he is genuinely curious as to what adam's placement on horrors would be with kelpies and possible live sacrifices is. what he doesn't say is that he rather thinks adam should be more afraid of shiro than the other way around. ]
