You've reached Lance, the Paladin of the Blue Lion. It breaks my heart to tell you that I'm unavailable to take your call right now, but if you leave me a message, I'll get right back to you.

Lance


I'm so proud right now I could cry

[spacebaloney]

that's right
you know who's the king of naming pokemon
let me name your next one
i won't even charge because you're my pal

[Lance, please. Nobody will pay for your cheese factor.]

[shiro2hero]

you want to name one?
how about one im not sure about

maybe you can convince me it's a good idea

[spacebaloney]

[Oh wait, Shiro is actually consulting him? Time to take this seriously.]

what's his (or her? it's?) personality like?

[He's not going to say anything Galra related because that's Lance's first kneejerk suggestion and he knows better.]

[shiro2hero]

[Yep, you bet buddy. You're about to see why.]

I



have no idea
i haven't gotten to know it yet
for
obvious reasons

But i trust you on this one - whenever you feel like it

for now though
enjoy your day

[spacebaloney]

[Now Lance can be stupid at the best of times, but this is one moment where he gets it. Honestly, he's wondering why Shiro's even kept it.

Since they're seemingly both on the same page...]

do you want me to be nice or to be honest?

[shiro2hero]

[Well... nice, actually. But what better way to say "I trust you" than accepting the hard things people have to say?]

hit me with whatever you think is best

I'm listening.

[spacebaloney]

actually i have to ask first if you're sure on keeping it
i mean
we both know what it looks like
and i wouldn't blame you if you didn't
but if you still want a name anyway i can come up with some no prob

[Lance trusts Shiro's choices, but sometimes you just need the confirmation that someone really knows what they're doing here.]

[shiro2hero]

[He's not sure. He's really not sure. But the benefit of Lance's nicknames is -- they're pretty damn funny. Maybe that will help.]

It saved me
sort of -- I mean it wasn't life or death but it did try to bail me out of trouble

I feel like I owe it a little.

So

Fire away.

[spacebaloney]

[Ah, Lance gets it. It's like the time he was injured in the blast and Keith helped him up, even cradled Lance in his arms. Sure, Lance denied any of that happened and still does to this day, he understands the feeling of owing someone one.]

rick batsley
because it's never going to give you up never gonna let you down never gonna fly around and screech at you

[Aren't you glad you asked him for help, Shiro?]

[shiro2hero]

[Please hold. He has to burst out laughing. Like, real, serious laughing. If this were video, he'd be curled up like a cooked shrimp.]

[Oh... yes. This was a good idea.]

Done.

its dne

[spacebaloney]

told you i had skills
now you wanna go to this aquarium with me?

[Kind of weird to invite the same person who bought you the tickets, but who else is Lance going to ask?]

[shiro2hero]

Me?

i dont mind but

you don't have to use them IMMEDIATELY you could save them

[spacebaloney]

it's not like i got anybody else to go with
hunk's gone pidge doesn't like being outside and keith is keith
don't really know anybody else here all that well either

[shiro2hero]

we all need some kind of team exercise at this rate


but yeah, i'll go with you
whenever you want

[spacebaloney]

something less painful that allura's team exercises, i hope

cool cool
thanks again, man. i really appreciate it

[shiro2hero]

well
We'll see about that

happy birthday lance
glad you're here
