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~]

I don't know if I would call it 'interesting' since it's pretty mundane, but...

[drabsolutelynot]

Is it? or is it just mundane to you because you are the one living with it?

[lifetothefullest]

It's extra mundane because I'm used to it, but no, it really is relatively common and uninteresting.

[drabsolutelynot]

Well.

[His voice is somewhat quieter]

Whatever it is that is common and uninteresting about you you have managed to forge into something far from mundane. To an inspiringly rare degree.

[Lance goes quiet at that himself, and it's for the best this is audio because he's still not great at taking genuine compliments, and so is a little flustered.]

...Thank you.

[Part of him wants to say more. To elaborate on just how impressed he has been with Lance in the time they've known each other. But he also has no idea where to even begin and a lingering fear that to open his mouth would be to dig himself into an uncomfortable emotional hole he would not be mentally equipped to pull himself out of. ]

Well..you're welcome

[Its dropped casually before he quickly moves to try and defer to a less heavy subject]

I do hope you've been eating something other than dorm room food.

[lifetothefullest]

I have. My friends keep taking pity on me.

[Which he greatly appreciates, actually. And since Hope has been providing more food to be stocked in the stores again, that's also made things a lot easier; sure, he's not exactly leading a super healthy lifestyle at the moment, but it's a little better than dorm food.]
