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~]

[He loves muffins.]

[So bonus; their tastes are the same when it comes to muffins, since he also isn't about to turn down any of the others she listed.]
private video
[plus, it would be quality hanging out with Lance time. she's not going to turn that down]
private video
[Even without saying anything confidential. He's quiet a moment again, before offering a small smile.]
And thanks for, you know. Listening.
[He really appreciates it.]
private video
[she gives him a real smile back, not one of her smirky ones]
I'm good at that. And the offer to listen is open whenever you need it.
[that's good, because she'd really like to help, if she can. in any way she can]
private video
[It's nice to see that smile, and his own in a little stronger in response too.]
Thank you, I'll talk to you later, okay?
[Right now, as well as this conversation went, it's still draining to talk about this sort of thing and he's reached the end of his mental energy.]
private video
[she's glad to see him smiling]
Okay, later. With muffins. Blueberry ones.
[while she feels horrible that he is another person who died in his world, she feels some degree of confidence that he can undo it somehow. as well as touched that he trusted her enough to confide in that way]
private video
[It's a platonic date for two salty, gossipy friends who enjoy baked goods. And he offers a final smile and dorky wave before disconnecting.]
