Time passed since Keith’s return to their team -- and things, admittedly, had gotten more comfortable and like the ol’ days ( save for some improvements and crisis ). They all began this journey of war TOGETHER, hit cruel bumps among each other, was separated and now the puzzle pieces are slowly -- but gradually coming together.
Yet, there was still chronic sense of EMPTINESS within a small space that is begging to be filled. The revelation Matt had offered to them shocked the team to their core - of the sacrifice Keith nearly made. Of course, throwing one’s life for another isn’t FOREIGN to Lance either -- and as much as it also runs in his veins, having it done by someone who wasn’t him ... inevitably brought about an indiscernible ANGUISH.
Lance supposes that he should be the LAST to begin a conversation with Keith over this matter since they were on poor terms until very recently. Still .. it’s best for everyone to watch each other’s backs in wars, on a battlefield or not -- and Lance had admittedly been neglectful of that.
❝ Hey, Keith. You got a minute ? ❞ he asked, ambling over to his comrade. ❝ About what happened before. You know ... that time when you almost sacrificed yourself ? ❞
