[ Walking up the ramp feels like coming home in a different way; the connection to the lions is still muted, barely more than a single thread that hasn't snapped yet instead of the rope it used to be but here with Keith it feels stronger.
Standing in there, behind the pilot's chair feels...odd, but not a bad sort of odd. Keith's worthy. He knew it, and now Black did, too. She made the right choice and he can't begrudge her that but he desperately hopes they get better at working together. It'll take time like all things do.
