( he's just telling it like it is, shiro! that is literally all this is!

but it doesn't keep him from thinking that maybe he's overstepped some line, pushed just a little too far when he shouldn't have and he wants to backtrack like mad, but doesn't, because at the root of it, he's going to stick by everything he's said.

it's his truth. )

maybe, but you're also the kind of person to think anyone can do anything they put their mind to, right?
don't sell yourself short

( and. well. you just hold on a second there mister, this isn't about him! )

haha oh you mean my lame jokes
i've got a whole reserve of those and a knack for knowing when moods need to be lightened
and i've never been all that great at knowing when to shut up, so …

( looks like he doesn't know how to deal with this nonsense, either. but you should have known that. )

[vanishings]

( don't! shiro's happy to help lance push his boundaries and accept things at face value and not backtrack on them. accept your truths! )

I am, and I do believe people can achieve great things through perseverance. Just like I think you can because you don't give yourself enough credit. You're a great friend, Lance.

[spazzed]

( let's work on that in future, shall we? right now, he's just ... ah, he doesn't even know. this whole conversation started out kind of heavy, took a right turn into silly and now we're back to heavy.

how do these things happen. )

thanks, shiro
i think i've still got a lot of growing up to do, though
i just wanna give as good as i get, you know?

[vanishings]

( that's just how life works. things are fun until they aren't and then you just gotta pull yourself out and have fun again. )

That's just part of life, I think. No matter how old you get, you still have growing up to do.

[spazzed]

( well that's a pretty good philosophy to have, isn't it?

the sort of simple thing that's too simple to think of right off the bat sometimes. )

you really think so?

[vanishings]

( listen. shiro is a wise sage bc he's been thru so much already. )

The world is constantly changing around us. Of course you're always going to still learn new things and new ways to adapt.

[spazzed]

( well. we all know that, don't we? at least on some level. )

i guess when you put it that way it sounds kinda stupid to assume i wouldn't, huh

( and here u thought this boy put more thought into things than he admitted to. )

[vanishings]

( well, can't win em all. but, shiro knows that lance does put thought into things more than he's willing to admit. )

I just think it's something a lot of people don't think about.

[spazzed]

( maybe he does, maybe he doesn't, and maybe you'll never know because it's kind of embarrassing to think about. that he consciously puts effort into putting more thought into things sometimes.

because he knows, sometimes, he can act pretty stupid. and people so rarely take him seriously. )

that makes sense
or maybe it's one of those things you don't realize you're thinking about?

[vanishings]

( he's still young, though, so that kind of thing is likely to happen. but, shiro's seen the changes in him. lance will settle into himself and figure out what's best for him. )

Sort of like breathing or walking, huh? You don't think about it, just do it.

[spazzed]

( hey, at least one of you has that figured out already. )

involuntary i guess
yeah
the thing that happens and you don't realize you're doing it until you're already doing it

[vanishings]

( shiro has confidence in everyone and believes they'll be their best. )

Exactly. Just becomes second nature and you don't realize you've even done it until it's already knowledge you've retained.

[spazzed]

( this is why he's a good leader. he's just a good man, all around. )

huh
i never REALLY thought about it like that
but it makes so much sense

( there's a pause between that and his next message. )

you always have such deep conversations in the middle of the night?

[vanishings]

( listen.






shut up. )

Is there any better time than the middle of the night? Kind of like time doesn't really exist like it does during the day.

[spazzed]

( no judgment here, of course. never any judgment here. )

you've got a point
so i guess not
but you don't get enough rest as it is

( forever concerned about you, ok. )

[vanishings]

( didn't u just get told to shut up........ )

I get enough rest!

( except the lady doth protest too much or something. )

[spazzed]

( yes but do u really expect this boi to listen. )

how many hours did you get last night?

( callin' u out, sir. )

[vanishings]

( he better!!! )

I don't see how that's relevant.

( shiro????????? it's literally the conversation. )

[spazzed]

( maybe he will, maybe he won't! )

i do
how many?

[vanishings]

( tf is this?!?!?! it's mutiny!!! )

Enough.

( lie #01 )

[spazzed]

( it is most certainly not mutiny!

he cares about you!

and the amount of rest you get! )

that's not a number

( HMMMMM. )

[vanishings]

( yes it is mutiny!!! :( he doesn't like the attention on his bad habits. )

Nobody really knows how many hours they actually sleep...

[spazzed]

( they're not SUPER bad habits! this is why he's inquiring ... he knows you don't sleep enough, okay.

please stop running yourself ragged. )

i get at least 7
i'd like more, but it doesn't always work out
beauty sleep is hard ...

[vanishings]

( they're bad, he knows it. it's why he doesn't like talking about them. )

I think any kind of sleep is hard.

( ah. a truth slipped in. )

[spazzed]

( there are worse ones to have, though. you can't really argue that, can you?

but. oh. that admission has him pausing for a moment. )

when you can't turn your brain off i can't imagine it would be

( we're not making assumptions here, but. )
