Seeing her smile now helped him settle further as he realized he'd made the right choice. He'd known in the back of his mind it was the right choice but everything was so mixed up right now he was having trouble connecting all the dots properly. 'What would Shiro do?' was working for now, at least.
"Thank you," he said sincerely, ready to ask if they could get on their way now--he really wanted to get out of this place--when she was suddenly moving towards the support strut. He hesitated where he was, gaze following her before his feet finally moved and he took a few steps after her, his body slowly remembering--learning, actually, how to fire on all cylinders now that he was going fully mobile.
"My name?" Oh. Right. Confusion then something akin to shame briefly flashed across his face before the young man reached up to rub the back of his neck. Name..name...he couldn't use Shiro. If she had heard of Voltron she might be familiar with the names specifically and he didn't want to take that risk. His mind raced trying to find something he could use, cycling through the names of people he'd met, places he'd been, things he knew--
it's getting there, slowly but surely

It was better than nothing.
