alright so everyone is theorizing that since shiro’s gone Keith will take his place as the black paladin which would mean lance would take the red lion and most likely allura take up the blue lion

and usually ppl think that the red lion will give lance a hard time considering all those bonding moments she and Keith have had in the last season

but consider this: blue outright refuses to move with allura in the cockpit

and allura is really confused because the blue lion is supposed the most fluid and easy going of the lions but she gets flat out rejected from the drivers seat

allura tries to reason with her, begs her to let her be her pilot but blue stays completely silent

it’s not until lance comes and asks to speak to blue alone and just sits together for a while, enjoying the quiet lance knows blue is angry and he takes a deep breath and says “listen blue….you’re my girl and I’m /your/ paladin. that’s a fact from now until the end of time. but right now our leader is missing and we have to get him back. once we get him back I’ll come back. so please blue, let the princess be your pilot until then.” he can feel the whine of reluctance from his lion and it makes him smile “no ofc I won’t be mad. i know I’m the only one for you. and don’t worry, red lion is nice and all but she doesn’t compare to you” lance feels the satisfied and flattered purr in his very being and he knows allura wont have any more trouble
