Re: [ action ]

If you're actually okay. This isn't some kind of professional distance thing? =

[Why do you do this? Is this what it's like for other people when Lance doesn't let them get away with this sort of thing?

His options here are either to tell the truth or lie, and he's a terrible liar.]

That's part of it.

[Most of it. The rest of it is that Lance is secretive and hesitant to actually trust people, although he doesn't think there's any risk in that sense as far as telling Drake. And it's tempting, because no one else who knows can actually understand what it's like.

But he's still hesitating, because the professionalism thing isn't easy to ignore.]

[ Drake appreciates the honesty. He nods, understanding as much as he can without knowing exactly what it is Lance would talk about. ]

Well if you change your mind, I'm around? Offer's always open. You talked me through one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with, I can at least listen.

[ He wants to listen. He'd like them to be friends, if that's possible. Lance seems like a good guy. ]

[He smiles at that, genuinely, and doesn't completely mentally rule out the possibility in the future. Maybe, at some point, he'll take Drake up on the offer.]

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.

[And he means that. He really appreciates having the option.]
