[competing]

Well, yeah. You mentioned knowing how to do all sorts of stuff...

[ keep up, keith. a concussion isn't an excuse! ]

[emblazes]

[Why u sound so horny.]

Yeah, don't you remember my bike?

[Bitch wasn't gonna upkeep itself.]

[competing]

[ BC HE'S IN LUV!!1 ]

Oh yeah. I kinda forgot about that.

[ it seems so long ago... oh, earth. ]

It was kinda a pain then. [ despite it, you know. saving his tail. ] But now it's kinda hot, too.

[emblazes]

[They didn't even know eachother back then....well...he didn't even know Lance.]

The bike was hot?

[Don't even lie, Lance, you weren't gay for him back then. Nevermind that he's misunderstanding.]

[competing]

No! [ maybe? he's lost himself in his own innuendo. ] I mean you... riding... it...

[ ??? ]

Working on it??

[emblazes]

None of that was-?! We could've all gone to jail.

[Not that he was super worried about that or he wouldn't have attempted that whole....thing.]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[competing]

—it's nothing. Never mind.

[ gently steering him along the street. ]

How's your head feeling? We're not too far from the local healer, if you wanna pick up something for it.

[emblazes]

It's not nothing...

[Leaning a little against him at that.]

It's fine -- we don't even have to go to a healer.

[He just needs a good nap nap, obviously.]

[competing]

[ no. bad keith! ]

No? You took a pretty hard hit there, bud...

[emblazes]

[He go nap nap.]

It'll be a waste of time.

[competing]

Not if it, you know.

Saves your life.

[emblazes]

Do I look like I'm dying to you?!

[He stops mid-step, stares hard...

One pupil's bigger than the other.]

[competing]

You're not looking good, babe.

[emblazes]

Yeah, we just came out of a forest!

[competing]

No, cuz you got beat up by a vine monster!

[emblazes]

Big deal!

[While elbow-shoving him, oooooooh.]

[competing]

[ lance is gonna... gently... shove back! ]

Yeah, exactly!

[ good thing that vendor isn't around to witness this. he's seen Enough. ]

[emblazes]

I get it! I screwed up!

[At least he's not elbowing back again. Now he's just going to go on an angsty tirade.]

I wasn't good enough for either of us, but -- we're having to start over as long as we're stuck here and it's not that easy!

[Working with the blade was...lonely, sure, but at least he had a group to work with. Here it's...

It's Lance and Allura, and rather than include them on weird missions, despite how capable they are, he'd rather not. He'd rather be able to protect them, keep everything on a smooth trek.

But he sux.]

We'll go to the healer if it'll make you happy, I don't care anymore.

[He just. Won't be able to lead, because he avoids these ppl.]

[competing]

[ whoa what?

lance reels back slightly, keith's outburst inciting a physical whiplash. out of reflex, he's reaching out, wrapping a hand around keith's wrist, as if anticipating the boy to pivot on a heel and run away any second now. ]

Keith, what? What are you talking about? You got hurt trying to protect me, that doesn't mean you screwed up.

[emblazes]

[He's effectively stopped from doing anything rash by that grip, glaring at something distant as Lance tries to smooth over his Failure. He has a point, sure, but he could've done better

This is somewhere around the third time they've argued about his injury, for example.]

I screwed up, Lance.

[As though repeating it makes it truer.]

[competing]

[ lance just stares at keith, looking like he wants to argue.

and he does, but not nearly as aggressively. if anything, there's nothing but resignation in his tone. ]

I was the one that got caught first. And I didn't cover you when you needed me to.

If anyone screwed up, it was me.

[ fine. two can play that game! ]

[emblazes]

[Lance also didn't get hurt, which is what he'd point out if he weren't totally trying to avoid that subject/admitting his brain hurts. He just provides an unconvinced look at first.]

...Can we just visit this doctor?

[competing]

[ he didn't get hurt because keith risked his neck for him... baka....... ]

Yeah, sure. Maybe he can do something about your thick head.

[emblazes]

I'll meet you back home.

[U just got UNINVITED.

Even though he doesn't know where this place is.]

[competing]

[ lance just grins, though it's strained, and loops his arm through keith's to keep walking them towards the doctor's. ]

This way, sweetie.
