[Was worried about you. Allura knows this conversation isn't going to be guilt-free although she didn't expect it to hit so suddenly. It's foolish, to avoid Shiro of all people. More than anyone else on the team, she trusted him to keep a level head and approach everything pragmatically. But it's that same admiration that makes it difficult to approach when she feels like she messed up.

She continues, keeping her voice steady, like they've been conversing amicably this whole time,]

[It's made time management a little bit of a challenge, dealing with several phoebes passing for her while it was only a movement or so for her friends. But it's starting to balance out more.

Sucking in a breath, she meters it out slowly.]

I feel as though I owe you an apology.
