[It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that he's obviously said the wrong thing now that Keith isn't even looking at him anymore, and Lance gives up on the pretense that things are fine because it clearly isn't helping anything. What would help is if he knew what he was doing wrong to provoke this kind of a reaction from Keith in the first place because he doesn't think he said anything out place?
Unless a year here gave Keith some inexplicable sensitivity about his mullet... which yeaaaaah, that's weird, but not the weirdest thing about this place either. A year's a long time and who knows. Anything can happen, right?
...okay, so Lance isn't really convincing himself with this line of thought either, but just in case, he clarifies.]
You don;t seem fine right now though. You're kinda acting like... oh I don't know? Different? Even by your standards. [Wait. Implying Keith is a weirdo is the opposite of what he wanted to say, gdit. REDO.] I mean. Look, I didn't actually mean that about your hair, ok. I'm glad to see you, too. Really. It's been a while.
[There's more to be said here, particularly about the other paladins, but Lance pauses here, waiting to see Keith's reaction to this.]
