[Shiro's not sure if he believes in destiny or not. He didn't used to. Now...? Now some days he thinks maybe he does, for some parts of people's lives at least and some days he's sure that its all just a reassuring notion that isn't really there at all. Maybe the five of them were all the lions had to work with and so beggers hadn't been choosers.

But - it was funny how the signs had indicated he was going to return on the night he'd returned. Funny how blue hadn't lit things up until Lance had walked into the cave. Funny how each of the lions seemed completely perfect for each of their pilots.

Sometimes coincidences were just coincidences. Sometimes... they sure seemed like more.]

I could see Keith working with Black. Though I think Red is a better fit. [Gentle he started wrapping her knee.] In fact, I could see most of you working with Black. You've all got leadership qualities and you all put each other and the mission as priorities. Some of you still need to grow into them... [Because the thought of Black and Lance working together was - challenging.] But you've all got what it takes.
