011 [Video]

[Lance is clearly back in Hadriel since the video is catching the backdrop of his kitchen, nondescript and standard as always; he really should decorate this place at some point. He's finally done something about his hair though, so although it's still long enough to curl a little it's back under control, if not exactly masterfully styled. He did his best.

But the biggest change after his vacation is that he seems a bit brighter than he has been recently, not as tense and distracted. Things aren't perfect or even really close to truly resolved, but they're better enough that he's making this post.]

Hey, so, I'm back from exploring, and therefore both my actual and metaphorical vacation; this means that if anyone needs any professional advice, or just to talk to someone, I'm available. Especially since the latest event seemed...

['Not great' are the words coming to him, but those aren't particularly professional, so--]

Particularly stressful, to all those involved, for reasons that may be more complicated than usual.

[He also totally stalked all those network posts that happened at the time, and is really glad he missed this event himself. He's keeping in mind the possibility of leaving the city to avoid others in the future if possible, though it's such a simple solution that he's not sure it'll work.]

I'd also like to remind those here, especially new arrivals, that we've recently compiled a list of people willing to teach different skills, and if you'd like to teach something just let me know what. Hopefully we can all stave off boredom and learn something useful at the same time.

[That part addressed, he feels like he should add something else he's been holding off on; it's been awhile, so surely people have noticed by now if they were going to care, but still.]

For anyone unaware, Dr. Brennan disappeared early last month. That means I have her book, if anyone who wanted to read it hasn't had a chance to do so yet.

[Because that's, of course, the biggest issue here. The book.

And, so as not to leave off on a somber note--]

Is there anything important that wasn't on the network that I missed while I was gone?

[Fill him in on stuff, people~]

[You are one stubborn man, Lance Sweets. Will would probably keep at you, because it wasn't in his nature to give up. And he was on to you. You kept using good excuses, legitimate reasons, Will just wasn't sure that was the entire story.]

That's true, on both accounts. But there are also situations where it would be beneficial to be in the clinic setting. It depends on the patient. And besides, not everyone going into the clinic --or even your office, if you had one there-- would be getting counseling.

[You just don't want to Sweets.....]

[Stubbornness tends to work out for him, so why stop using it? He's quiet while Will talks, listening, and considers refuting each point as it's brought up but then decides that isn't the best way to go about things.

Instead, he responds more simply.]

No solution is perfect for this place and situation, but right now things are working out as they are.

[So, basically, he doesn't intend to change them.]

[Stubbornness in general seems to work out for him. Usually he if tries hard enough, or long enough, people relent. Or he wears them down. But he listened to Lance talk, a simple sentence, where he didn't refute what he was saying. He just didn't want to. As simple as that. Will let out a sigh.]

You know I'll keep trying.

You know that's going to have the opposite of the desired effect.

[He doesn't like being pressured, especially not when it's used as a tactic to get him to do something; it just makes him more stubborn about not doing it.]

[Will sighed, he wasn't used to dealing with someone like Lance, although after almost a year you would think he would be. ]

I know. I'll try and respect your wishes.

[Or maybe he'd have to try a different avenue]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[Presuming Will actually does it, anyway, but Lance will try to assume he intends to.]
