"Mother"
Krolia was walking through the Garrison hallways. She didn't like the suspicious glares she garnered from Garrison officers. She understood why, but she thought being Keith's mother was supposed to give her certain perks. She supposed it did. Not everyone had unlimited access to the Garrison and the Paladins, which was where she was headed. She was looking for her son. She wanted to know what he did at the Garrison when he attended the school.
She turned the corner and was face to face with an unfamiliar brunette boy in the familiar orange uniform of the Garrison. She supposed she could ask the kit where Keith was.
However, she didn't get the chance to say anything before the kit narrowed his eyes. "What do you want, Galra?"
Krolia frowned. "I would watch your tone, kit. I am simply looking for Keith Kogane."
"Why?"
"I thought it was a mother's prerogative to be involved in her child's life."
"Mother?"
"Yes. I'm Keith's mother."
James stared at Krolia in suspicion, not sure if he could believe her. Footsteps approaching them did not even get them to pause their staring contest.
"Mom! There you are!"
Krolia and James looked up at Keith, who had approached them from down the hall.
"Kogane, is she really your mother?"
Keith looked puzzled at James's question. "Of course she is. Why else would I call her mom?"
"But she's Galra!"
"So am I."
"What?! You're Galra?! Since when?!"
"I've always been part Galra. I just didn't know it."
"Kit, please don't fight with your friend."
"We're not friends," James and Keith chorused.
"So, Mom, you sent me a message asking if we could meet up. What did you need?"
"I was wondering if you could tell me what it was like when you attended the school."
Keith smiled. "I'd like that. Bye, Griffin."
James stared after Kogane and his mother. So he was an alien? That explained a few things in James's opinion.
