[Lance r u ready for this? Because the moment that name leaves his lips, Mephisto's entire demeanor changes, eyes widening. So far, the only Actual Real Person™ from anime and video games he's met has been Mipha, even if only her species rang a bell... but has he just been hanging around a main character this whole time!?]
[It's only because he's such a nerd that he recognizes the name at all -- GoLion wasn't as popular in Japan, but the weird Frankenstein'd version that exists in America? Of course he knows about it!]
Voltron? Defender of the universe? Of course I've heard of it!
lance actually stops mid-step, slowly pivoting back to look at mephisto with wide, bug eyes. no one's ever recognized them before, least of all with such startling accuracy. (usually, lance has to be the one touting the defender of the universe stuff!!) ]

[Hmm, he's never tried explaining to someone that they're fictional before, at least as far as his own world is concerned. Let's see how well this goes...]
You see, what I'm familiar with is an animated biopic about your life and various adventures and accomplishments! It was quite popular during its initial run in America, with dozens of spin-offs created over the years.

[But they're still gonna move on together, right? Because there's only one way to Wyver from here.]
But that is a rather curious suit you've got. It doesn't look like any armor I've ever seen.

Not surprising. Not that many people seem to know about us.
[ still, he'll go ahead and see if the name garners any kind of response from the other. ]
Voltron?
