[Because this isn't what he's used to!! He had started getting used to it as a paladin, but then he ran off to join the Blades and. Well.
Anyway, he watches Hunk as he puts that basket down, not entirely sure what is going on here at all. But oh.
Really?
Is it that easy? Should he really be forgiven that easily? PROBABLY NOT. But it's hard to argue when he really doesn't want to argue. Yeah, hugging. Please.
Keith steps forward and more or less just tips straight forward into Hunk's chest, moving to wind his arms around him.]
[Hunk puts both arms around him gladly when Keith does, giving him a solid, warm squeeze and exhaling... what sounds to be a relieved sigh. His shoulders slump, tension oozing straight out of them.]
Whenever you wanna apologise this is all you gotta do, you know? But thanks for the basket. It's really cute.
[He's going to put the flowers in a vase and make the fruit into a dessert or maybe a fruit salad and they're going to enjoy it as buddies. Reconciliation fruit salad!]
[Okay. Hugging. Keith... feels better actually. And he looks sheepish, genuinely sheepish because, well..]
...it's not cute.
[It's just a sad little basket. But he tried. Story of Keith's life right there. But he will happily eat reconciliation fruit salad so there's that at least.]
One hundred percent. Perfect. A plus. You can upgrade the hug to a 'certainty' if you want, but that's up to you.
[Hunk says it firmly, emphatically, and then laughs and gives Keith a brief, one-armed hug, jostling him roughly, in an earnest friendly way before reaching down to grab the basket.
He swings it lightly and nods his head toward the kitchen.]
C'mon. Let's make some fruit salad, and put these flowers in a vase or--a cup. Probably a cup.
[He will do his best! He will do his absolute best to not screw this up again. He's good at screwing up though, has a unique talent for it in a way that defies all sorts of physics.
[Thoroughly not expecting that question it takes Keith a moment to figure out why he's even being asked it. It eventually registers and he's quick to nod.]
No, yeah. Of course. I'm good. Better now. [With amends having been made.]
[Though to Keith it just feels like they're still stuck playing this game. Still, he looks up at Hunk, grateful for the reassurance.]
But we're no closer to getting out of this place. And they're still playing with us like we're toys for their amusement! I just..
[He is a very frustrated, restless thing. Especially after this werewolf nonsense. He did not like being unable to control himself. He has outbursts and doesn't always deal with his emotions well, but that's with a great deal of self control.]
We could be getting closer. Maybe it's all leading up to us getting out of here...
And even if it's not, we'll figure out a way. Maybe we'll get a chance to get a Lion and it'll be simple as blasting off the planet.
[Hunk's the type to try to soothe those frustrated, restless feelings, and just shakes his head. He puts his hand on Keith's shoulder and squeezes firmly.] You vent whenever you need to, man. I'll listen.
[But no-one helps Hunk with cooking!!! YALL RUIN IT no he's just innocently surprised but then he thinks about it.]
Sure thing, man. Here you go. You can chop 'em up, bite-sized pieces are good. [He slides a cutting board across the counter space, followed by a knife. Not Keith's galra knife. A cooking knife.]
[Wow, Hunk. He will ruin nothing!! If there is no actual cooking involve. He can be helpful. Totally.
And hey yeah Hunk is gonna let him. Hooray.
Keith picks up the knife and without thinking too much about it starts fiddling with it, more or less spinning it between his fingers as he reaches for the fruit. A little nod and he starts cutting.
This he actually is good at. Keith and knives are a good match up. He's making short work of cutting the fruit down.]
[Look at this show-off over here. Hunk watches him with amusement as he's getting down the biggest cup they own to, well, put his flowers in. Because flowers were a thing he got.
He's going to put these on the table while Keith is cutting.
And then he'll start scooping up cut pieces of fruit and adding them to a nice big bowl.]

Date: 2018-06-30 03:08 am (UTC)[Hunk's arms tighten briefly and he pulls back to give him a very scrutinising look. All right. Pop quiz time.]
So, if you ever accidentally hurt me again in any way, what's the plan to apologise? It can be more than a one-step plan. So let's hear it.
[POP QUIZ DON'T FUCK IT UP]

Date: 2018-06-30 03:20 am (UTC)[He sort of mostly really gets it, Hunk. But ugh pop quizzes why this. Okay.]
...don't run off into the woods alone. And... say I'm sorry instead of avoiding you for days.
[How's he doing so far?] ...maybe a hug? And apology baskets are optional?

Sounds good. ...Thanks, Hunk.

Date: 2018-07-03 12:33 pm (UTC)[He worries, Hunk. He does. But well, Hunk seems himself and that's a reassuring thing. Keith trots along after him towards the kitchen anyway.]
I'm... I'm really sick of this place messing with us. And not being able to do anything about it.
[He's so angry about it honestly.]
no subject
Date: 2018-07-03 10:18 pm (UTC)We did do something about it. I mean-- people here came up with a cure for the werewolf thing. That's something, Keith.
[NOT HELPLESS.]
