Allura smiled and she carefully helped Shiro get comfortable. He had looked fierce and terrifying when she had first seen him - his eyes crazed and his body thrashing and tense like a fish caught in a net. It was amazing how different he was now - the transformation was unreal. He looked almost peaceful as he slept, though his brow was furrowed and his hands worked in his sleep, clenching and unclenching. He muttered in his sleep - nonsense mostly. He uttered clicks and soft murmurs and said names. Some were recognisable; Adam, Keith, Matt; others weren't so recognisable and she wondered whether they belonged to Zarkon.

She tucked him up into his bed tightly, so that he wouldn't fall out if he started to toss and turn. She hoped that he wouldn't. Then she turned to Matt and smiled, seeing that he had gotten into bed. She carefully and gently smoothed some of her healing sands and muds across his stomach to help them heal whilst he rested. Thankfully they hadn't done anything but cut into his skin, so it was just a matter of waiting for them to heal. She tucked him in too, carefully wrapping the sheets around him and then placed some healing rocks and anemones around his head. They would release scents and oils into the air to help him sleep and heal. His question caught her off guard a little and she settled on his bed, rather like a mother would do with their child.

She nodded, "Yes, I have been close to several. I have several good friends on the surface and I trust them with all of my heart. They help me and I help them.. I have treated their wounds before - one of them stepped on a particularly nasty sea urchin once, so I had to settle the argument between him and the urchin, then helped him heal it. He told me a lot about medicines on the surface and what they do to heal one and other. I have learned a great deal and returned the information they gave to me with information of my own about healing under the sea. We have been friendly ever since. The little boy that stepped on the sea urchin is now a grown man, so we have known each other for some years," she explained, expressing her fondness for her friend with a smile.
