Lotor watched the people dance and celebrate after the dinner as Allura announced before the feast how Lotor and his generals promise their freedom from the empire and instead to allie themselves for their protect of both Voltron and galra.

His arms where crossed watching the green paladin tease the red one while she did some ridiculous dances to irritate him, as the yellow paladin was munching on the deserts. The black paladin was speaking to the king as Princess Allura was dancing with his nephew, Hyno, as they laughed to the music and let Hyno believe he swooned the princess as he was only to her hip as a boy.

"Hup two and up!" Lotor lifted a little girl in the air and twirled her back to the ground with a wild giggle as men and women danced in a circle, singing and chanting, while a boy hooked onto Lotors arm and spun the man back.

"Bandor!" Lotor cried out surprised as the boy teased tripping him but the galra caught himself and twirled the thirteen year old.

"You may be good with a blade Lotor but at dancing your just as foolish as i," bandor cackled as Lotor chuckled as he clapped to the music backing away as the boy laughed at him.

"Your just as foolish with your blade as you are on your feet," Lotor chuckled at him as bandor stuck out his tongue at him but spun away.

Lotor jumped when lance walked over and touched his arm for a moment.

"Lance you startled me," Lotor blinked as he felt his heart skip a beat at the memory he remembered unfortunately.

"Hm really couldn't tell," lance shrugged crossing his arms and Lotor smiled a little.

"That was a joke by the way," Lance told him quickly.

"I could tell," Lotor nodded.

"Can I ask you why you don't mind my blind jokes, or really pity me that much? You act like it's normal," Lance pursed his lips as he relaxed.

"Can I ask why you talk to me about something that seems personal? Not your friends?" Lotor retorted and Lance was caught by surprised.

"I asked first," lance shot back.

"I'm asking now,"

Lance grumbled annoyed but let out a deep breath leaning his head back a little.

"I don't know, I still don't trust you," lance said sharply.

"Then I'm not answering your question either," Lotor smirked. Lance through for a moment but chuckled shaking his head.

"Maybe because... you actually seem to listen," lance sighed crossing his arms leaning against a leg more than the other.

"But your friends?" Lotor frowned.

"They're great and all but I'm just a seventh wheel, they all have more important priorities," Lance gulped a little and Lotor watched the other Paladins interact.

"As a team, caring for each other is your top priority," Lotor told him but said nothing more.

"Your turn," lance countered Lotor with a smirk as the prince rolled his eyes.

"My general, Narti, as you've heard she is blind, but as only half galra she has other abilities, she can see through others she touch, she has her feline kova that perches on her shoulder, but she can see through him," Lotor explained and Lance listened.

"I've met many people with many disabilities throughout my years, as well as myself... but they've all been able to continue as their best selves, do not underestimate anyone who is missing a limb, or one of the five senses," he smiled and Lance frowned a little.

"Yourself?" Lance asked confused.

"Lotor they have the cutest little cookies here! Can I pleaaaaaase go get the recipe for the ship?!" Ezor ran up excitedly before Lotor could answer.

"Will it start a fight?" Lotor asked flatly.

Ezor paused a breath and thought for a moment.

"Maybe?" She made a face.

"Go ask hunk, the yellow guy, he loves baking, I'm sure he could get you the recipe," lance offered and Ezor looked at him.

"Thanks!" Ezor beamed brightly and ran off back to find the yellow paladin.

"Your surprisingly warm to us galra," Lotor hummed at him.

"Keiths galra, and I wouldn't know what you are honestly, I don't know what you look like, your friend said she doesn't look galra even," lance shrugged.

"Well that makes you one in a million to not hate us at first chance you got," Lotor smiled a little. 

"I guess," lance shrugged. He wished he could see the people celebrating, them dancing, he would totally dance along and laugh and smile and have a good time having another liberated planet to celebrate for.  But now... he couldn't do any of that, not seeing a damn thing make him hate the space, unable to see where things could be, how close anyone could be and he'd have no idea.. just wait until the battle field, would they even let him?

"Come," Lotor offered his hand as his fingers brushed against lances hand to let him know.

"Where?" Lance frowned.

"Dance, I see you tapping your foot," Lotor smiled a little and Lance huffed thinking.

"No I'm fine," he waved him off.

"Just because your unable to see doesn't mean you should miss out on a perfectly good celebration little soldier," Lotor told him gently and lances face softened a little.

"Don't loose me, I don't want to get lost," lance warned as Lotor gently took his hands and lead him to the outside of the dance.

Lance cried out when Lotor spun him but had his arm extended as his hand gripped lances tightly to not let go.

"Trust me," Lotor told him and lance let his muscles relax a little as Lotor slowly walked back to him with their hands holding onto another.

"Listen to the music, think as it as you dancing with your eyes closed and no one else is here," Lotor whispered in his ear and lances face flushed and pushed him away.

"This is stupid, I know my teams here and-and your here still," Lance grumbled but Lotor took his hand once again.

"Ignore that, this will be your first step I promise, the first step to acceptance little soldier, did you dance before?" Lotor asked as lance looked down.

"My sister and I took dance classes when we where little..." lance mumbled. "Yes I danced a little on my own in my room,"

"Imagine that then, your room, trust me on this," Lotor explained gently and lance sighed nodding.

"Lead the way all mighty prince," lance mumbled closing his eyes and Lotor spun him again as he looked to see the others dancing.

"Is it literally just spinning?" Lance asked flatly.

"Well there's this, it's my specialty I'll admit," Lotor smirked and grabbed lances waist and lifted him into the air with a spin making lance gasp and laughed loudly holding onto Lotors shoulder. Lotor twirled him again and clapped twice.

"Whoa that was so high!" Lance covered his mouth laughing at the excitement in the surprise.

"It's not the dance here but it's one I learned long ago," Lotor smiled.

"Lots of foot work and lifting, hooking arms," he explained with a small laugh.

"Really? What planet?" Lance asked smiling more.

"That's not important, for tonight you deserve a night of fun and celebration little soldier," Lotor ignored the question easily but before lance could ask more he was pulled back into the dance with a squeak.
