[At one point, she had thought she would check in right away. The same day, possibly, if she could track down where he had run off to.]
[But there's a few reasons why Allura's taken so long to check back in on him, starting with the fact that she needed the time to recover herself. Once the dust had settled and all the magic and adrenaline left Allura's system, she had found her body in worse condition than expected. And while normally she would resist taking proper time to rest, the thought of Darin seeing her in such sorry shape and holding himself responsible? That was enough to convince her to stay in her room and sleep it off.]
[Besides that, though, she was curious if he would take the initiative and check in on her. That last word — that goodbye — still hangs ominously in her memory.]
[But even she had more than a few doubts that he would, given that there would be a lot on his plate after all the chaos. So, she doesn't take it personally when he never shows up, and once most of her strength is recovered, she heads out to visit him instead.]
[Which has brought her here, knocking on the door to the forge. And then opening it, and peeking her head inside, as if she's not certain she'll be welcomed in.]
Darin? Are you in?
[Maybe that's a silly question, but after he left the hotel, she wasn't certain where he moved. She only know that this is where he works.]
