[ he pauses a little, caught off-guard by the thanks.

but he recalls how things had been pretty tense between him and allura so... well. that's only natural that he'd feel that way, wouldn't he? ]

...Yeah, sure thing. No big deal, you know?

[ considering everything, it really wasn't. if anything, it seemed to have taken this huge weight off keith's shoulders, which in turn seems to have made him that much more amenable in the long run so... in the end, isn't that was matters more? ]

It is a big deal. [Thanks, Keith, for missing the point to some degree. That said, he doesn't sound like he's entirely contradicting Lance here.]

Just ... not in the way it could be.

[Is he ... confiding in Lance? Is that what's happening? Well, he isn't going on.]

[ not in the way it could be, he says, and lance can't help but think: not in the way it was. because they already had that "big deal" revelation. and it wasn't pretty.

even though he hadn't remembered a thing about alastair while he was back home... he has to wonder if maybe a part of him took it all in such stride because of what happened here.

it's true though. it isn't really a big deal to lance.

but he realizes now that to someone like keith... it is. and so maybe the best thing he can do here is acknowledge it. ]

You're welcome, Keith.

... Right. Uh, I'm gonna go now.

[If only because awkward bonding moments work better when he has a smooth exit.

This is not a smooth exit.]

[ maybe lance should just be happy for once that he isn't the one feeling the most awkward here. ]

...Kay.

Bye.
