Keith made up his mind. He grabbed his knife and held it to his left arm. If the mark wouldn't go away on it's own, then he would get rid of it himself. Keith has been acting strange for the past few weeks and the team was getting worried. He stayed in his room most of the time, only allowing Shiro to enter. He's been skipping meals and hasn't even come out to train. Lance wants to help him, but isn't sure how. They were rivals after all. Right? An argument between Shiro and Keith ends badly. Keith couldn't believe Shiro hurt him. That was his breaking point. He ran away with Red to a seemingly desolate planet to hide from everyone. Something about the planet interfered with the communications making it difficult to track him down. Keith learns a secret about the lions that not even Allura knew about. And he's the first paladin ever to unlock it.
