[Especially since Lance does his best not to let anyone know if anything is off with him, so he actually feels a sense of accomplishment whenever he's successful at that. But he does appreciate the offer, and means it when he says--]
I'll keep that in mind, thank you.
[But speaking of distractions, the food smells amazing; even more distracting, though, is JF, and Lance barely dodges a headbutt to the chin but presses his forehead to hers briefly instead. He doesn't mind the wiggling or cat antics at all, having never had a chance to have a cat himself but being very fond of animals all the same.
The next question actually draws his attention away from petting JF, though, and it takes a moment for him to sort through his memories of the event--they're hazy, which is a little worrying--before placing which kid he didn't recognize the name of; everyone else he knows who was, so if Harlan really did meet him, them maybe it was him.]
It's possible, yeah, I spent a lot of time looking for stuff I think. Did you say your name was David?
[Maybe Harlan--or David--is a middle name, and he switched which one he went by as he got older?]
