[Matt has never been the most calm of people in the face of a crisis. Sure, he's better than he was, but when faced with a growly tiger and a growly Galra, there is a lot of cold, turbulent wind surrounding him, and the flowers are dull and dying at his feet.

However, he takes a breath, and takes a step forward.]

Hey, so on Earth there are entertainments where people make tigers jump through hoops. Yeah, it's kinda stupid, but I took Pidge there once when she was really little, and she wouldn't stop talking about how silly it was that, of all things, the tigers were jumping through hoops.

[Is it true? Who knows, but the flowers at his feet are starting to get just a bit of color back, and a few vines start growing as well.]
