( he's going along with it not only because it seems to be calming the other down — or just … keeping him from freaking out on a monumental scale — but because it seems more natural than anything else could have been, which. again, means they have a whole heck of a lot to talk about once they're out of here but in the meantime?
lance might be kidding about the pinky promise thing, but it's just one more thing for shiro to go along with, and he briefly raises his left hand with all of his fingers folded down into his palm save for the smallest one.

his smile is still there, by the way, even as he lowers his arm again.
