[ well that's fair, it's a pretty harrowing time, and keith does have a tendancy towards tunnel-vision...

but still! not even once? ]

No, cuz I made you!

[ he sits back once more and sulks. ]

You know what, you owe me two — no, three — random make-out thoughts now!

[secondnature]

I don't owe you anything! Just get better and we can do the thing. [The make-outs. Obviously.]

[competing]

Oh, sure, let me just hop up on some Vitamin C and I'll be a-okay!

[secondnature]

I'm not expecting you to get better immediately! But there's no point in thinking about a thing that we can't do anyway.

[competing]

[ muttering: ]

But if we could...

[secondnature]

[Insert Keith frustrated sound.]

But we can't.

[competing]

That's why I said if!

[ okay this isn't going anywhere. lance is hungry and frustrated and now thanks to the topic of conversation at hand, he's also frustrated, so he gets up just to get out some of that antsy energy. he goes to the kitchen, starting to poke around the cupboards and refrigerator. ]

[secondnature]

... What are you doing? This isn't even your apartment!

[This hunger thing is pretty bad, he realizes. ... It's probably a good thing that they have it here, and not where they're forced to eat space goo.]

[competing]

Oh come on, [ this brought to you around a mouthful of slim jim, ] you guys got plenty of food here! Don't be stingy.

[secondnature]

All we have is junk food. Is that what you want to eat right now?

[If Keith knew more about how fatty foods are bad for the skin, he'd say that here.

But he doesn't.]

[competing]

[ and lance, likewise, opts not to mention the kind of food he really wants to eat right now instead. ]

Yeah, about that, did you guys seriously just live off of Slim Jims and Cup o' Noodles? [ not judging but... also kind of judging. ]

[secondnature]

We also have a stack of frozen pizza in the freezer.

[It's gross, but ... well. Shiro getting sick basically threw any sense of decency and trying to be adults out the window.]

[competing]

...I just got really sad inside.

[ he sighs, reaching into a cabinet to scoop out a bag of frosted cookies, which he then takes over to the couch before plopping himself down in the middle of it. ]

Please tell me you're not gonna live like this when I go. I may actually cry inside.

[secondnature]

We're gonna have to change it up. Everyone bought all the frozen food out of the stores, and they're not being restocked.

[True suffering shall be known.]

[competing]

[ lance is currently making a pink hippo trot down the back of the couch and into his mouth, the 90s were such a great time ]

What do you have? I can write down some basic recipes for you.

[ even you should be able to follow directions, right keith...




nevermind, aang will. ]

[secondnature]

I know basic recipes, but I barely have the time, and, again, a lot of the basic stuff is sold out, too.

[He can follow basic directions! He lived alone for a long time before the Garrison and then after, Lance. Remember!!]

[competing]

[ yeah, but did you live well................... ]

...Don't not take care of yourself over this.

[ first sonia, now you, keith? c'mooon. ]

[secondnature]

I can't fight if I don't eat. Don't worry. Besides, some of this is for Aang, too.

... The stuff without meat, anyway. [He doesn't sleep well enough, but he does eat, at least.]

[competing]

I guess that's something.

[ it's not the world's most comforting answer, but it'll have to do, he supposes. he chomps down on an alligator and giraffe.

then proceeds to make a face. ]

Eating this right after that Slim Jim was a mistake.

[ yet he's still stuffing another handful into his mouth... ]

[secondnature]

Why do I get the feeling that you're going to sit here and eat all of our food and then leave to get more? You've gotta stay in shape.

[For ... after he's cured. So he can fight.]

[competing]

Why, you won't find me attractive as a total couch potato and slob?

[ luckily, that's rhetorical, but now he's just licking the icing off his fingers gross. ]

It'll take more than a couple of crackers to take me down, anyway. I got great metabolism.

[ that totally isn't gonna get hecked up by this cannibal virus, nope. ]

[secondnature]

I dunno if you've noticed—but you just made it so that no one else could eat those cookies.

So, thanks, I guess. [It doesn't occur to Keith that Lance could probably deserve some cookies right now.]

[competing]

Relax, I'm doing you guys a favor. This stuff's terrible for you.

[ ...he says. around a mouthful of pastel-colored zoo. ]

[secondnature]

You're not doing us any favors.

[Though he supposes it'll just get thrown out anyway now.]

[competing]

Well what else am I gonna do??

[ have some indignant crumbs all over your couch!!

sure, he knows what he should do right now... but he's definitely trying to stall. for obvious reasons. ]
