[video] [action]
Who: Lance and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Blameless
When: Shortly post planet go boom
[Video]
[The vast majority of people here know Lance as constantly loud, boisterous, all smiles even in the face of bad news. Constantly flitting from person to person, acting as a sort of giant team cheerleader. But this Lance? He looks small and tired. If you squint, you can see a little tremble passing through his body. He can't even muster up one of his trademark smiles right now.]
So that's it, huh? That's...it. That's all we could do.
[Action - Blameless]
[Lance knows he can't just lay here in his room and mope. People need him, he could still help. It's his role to comfort people and to keep their spirits up. He should be doing that, and helping with first aid anyone who got injured. He should, but he can't move from his bed right now. All the fear of this situation is finally settling in--no, it's more like a truck hitting him at full speed.
He's spent all this time helping everyone he can, distracting them, in a way distracting himself, and it's only now after it's all over that he realizes how terrified he's been all along. And especially now, with the dead remains of a planet floating right outside his window... And Looma...
You're useless without your lion and Voltron. Part of him knows that it isn't true; he'd helped some others through the month and he evacuated as many people as he can, but his fear is leaving him hyperfocused on those he couldn't save.]

I keep going back and thinking, what could I have done differently, you know? Even if I didn't have the resources to stop the meteor... Could I have done something more?
[Could he have saved Looma, somehow?]
no subject
I get you, buddy. It's a lot of ifs and buts and maybes. Can't help but feeling like I didn't do it, right, though. Or maybe if I had done this thing another way I could have done...something.
Got her out of there, I don't know.
no subject
[Because all those thoughts? Exactly mirrored.]
no subject
I'd ask if I can do anything to help you out, but I knew what my answer will be there, so it's prooobably gonna be the same.
no subject
[He chews on his lip absently.]
I've always got some bad tea and coffee here if you ever feel like coming over and just kicking back for a few minutes to recharge.
no subject
[Science is everything. Still, he exhales, rubbing the back of his neck. ]
Actually, that sounds like a pretty great idea. Pretty sure my crew can take care of themselves for that long.
[Now the danger has passed. ]
no subject
[Weak smile!]
I'm here whenever you wanna swing by.
no subject
[Shows what THEY know.]
Sure, I'll make my way over.
[Misery loves company. ]
no subject
[He's already crawling out of bed, slipping on his shoes before making his way to the kitchen.]
no subject
[He doesn't want to anger Iroh, okay. Very little angers Iroh, but he knows the under-use tea will be one of those things. ]
