[Shiro doesn't connect with the other lions. Everyone has their own special bond with their own chosen paladin and even when they've formed Voltron and he's flying as the head of it, the connection he feels to the lions that aren't his is vague and funneled through their own pilots first. So he can't claim any real connection to Red at all.
And even then - he'd swear he can feel the red lion's relief or welcome.]
Good to see you too. [He croaks it out, energy so spent that Keith's doing almost all the work and Shiro is just trying not to black out on his friend. And maybe that's what pulls up the greeting from him, punch drunk on pain and exhaustion and the promise of freedom. There's no response and he doesn't expect it. It's just - so good to see another familiar face, even if its stories tall and completely metal.
And then the world tips sideways and he's not sure if its the ship or his eyesight.]
