[ They're insistent and Shiro doesn't want to risk hurting Keith on accident, so he doesn't stop. He leaves the room and goes to the one they've given him, tossing his clothes into a corner in the bathroom. He washes as quickly as he can, and changes into a fresh set of clothes.
After a beat, he grabs Keith fresh ones too and starts his update to Allura. It's quick, just the basics with the assurance that Keith should be okay, once they get him out of the immediate danger. He turns off his comms directly after, except for emergencies. He can't take questions right now.
They won't let him back into the room until surgery is finished, and it feels like it takes ages. He gives talks to all the other diplomats and goes over what he can to feel useful and finally, finally they let him back in. He may not wake up any time soon, he's warned, but he doesn't care. He settles Keith's clothes off to the side and drags a chair over, gently taking Keith's hand, pressing it to his forehead. ]
