[ It won't be up to Shiro either. That makes it more difficult to offer reassurance; there's no way to guarantee their team won't decide on a course of action that'll put a strain on Keith or Lance or Pidge. ]
I'm glad you and Rey gave us that information. [ It was necessary, even if the ensuing debate had been difficult to weather for all of them. ] You did good, explaining what you found out.
[ He hasn't missed that Keith skipped over the roundabout query about whether or not he was alright. Shiro wants to circle back to it, nudge Keith into talking about it as gently as he can. ]
Yeah ... I just wish people didn't expect us to somehow have all the answers, you know? I said what I could. She said what she could. [Which, for all of Keith's failing at empathy, is something big: he knows Rey isn't holding up well. It might turn out that the Reverend wasn't someone they could save, but it still was a body that was a casualty, and no one had any control in that situation.
It leaves him feeling uneasy.]
But even so, it sounds like no one wants to really ... try. [Exaggeration.]
[ And maybe of some of them genuinely wouldn't want to, but Shiro's trying to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. And to offer some kind of comfort to Keith without repeating the same question of whether or not Keith was alright. Shiro's confident he's not, though just where Keith is on the scale of not okay to totally okay remains to be seen. ]
I know you both told us everything you could. We get it.
[ Dealing with a group this large is difficult. It would be even under the best of circumstances. And the continued turnover doesn't help, but now isn't the time to complain about recruiting practices. ]
I talked to some people who want to try capture some Deemers. I said I'd go with them.
To bring them back to Oska? [Keith asks this question as if there isn't another path. He knows a number of people want to try, but he feels like that's just going to hurt more people rather than help them. He looks at Shiro expectantly, waiting for him to confirm this.
Though he has a feeling that he won't. Which sucks.]
