[Gosh. There it goes, things are running as they should be again. Probably. Okay. Gonna -- gonna have to learn to dunamis that, make sure it doesn't happen again.]
-- a moment, lord.
[Kolivan stalls for a moment, disguising it under a genuine need to get his breath back. His mind is working just fine now and the first thing he notices is that Zarkon's voice is not the monstrous, gravelly tone usually associated with him. A glance reveals pupils and irises, rather than the unholy glow of too much quintessence. Is he...is he from before the incident in the rift...?
Well, there's only one way to find out and that's to investigate. He debates sending for the Paladins now, but although Kolivan has all the tact of a brick flying directly at someone's face on the best of days, even he knows that doing so now would actually be unwise. Giving them nothing but "Zarkon is here" would very likely give Shiro a similar medical emergency. Allura would blow up whatever building she is currently standing in. Keith would probably manifest from the shadows and attach himself immediately to Zarkon's shoulders like a pointy, knifey space monkey. No, no, more intel is necessary and nobody but Kolivan is here to gather it.
Knowledge or death, Kolivan thinks again, in a "fuck it" sort of way. Wondering vaguely if this is how Ulaz felt most of the time, Kolivan takes one more deep breath and off he goes, running to help the most horrifying and brutal tyrant the universe has ever known chase down a small piece of paper.]
