[Where Shiro sees fighting as an obligation, Keith sees it as an act that gives him purpose. He believes in helping people, and he feels more at ease when that help comes at the end of a sword or knife. It's where he's felt more at home than anywhere else in his life. It's also why he balked at having to be a leader: that involved taking on tasks that he couldn't fathom, couldn't wrap his mind around. He just wanted to do what was right: it was as simple as that.
He sees it the same way here. He knows that he struggles with diplomacy, but the act of helping—either the people they've come with or Morningstar—comes easily to him.
Keith feels some relief in what Shiro says. It puts him at ease. Not seeing eye to eye on that could be hard, and sometimes Keith can tunnel vision on what he thinks is the right thing. That he's flexible with Shiro helps, but ...]
Right up here.
[As they turn the corner, there's a warehouse that's been converted into several apartment buildings. It was obviously an act done for money-saving reasons, and the apartment itself isn't that nice. But he and Ciri had agreed that getting a place with a view and little complications would be better than somewhere very nice.]
It's not much. I hope Ciri turns up soon so you can meet her. [He glances at Shiro, feeling a little awkward before adding.] You, uh. You have the same hair color.
