I'm glad to hear it.

[ The topic shift is subtle enough that it's notable, but also that it doesn't bear mentioning or reading into too much. The conclusion is easy enough to reach, no need to chase after it. Besides, Lance is offering a focal point - not just in terms of the conversation, but in terms of grounding him in the distraction of the now.

It's a kindness. He won't spit at it. ]

Do you happen to know who took point in the end? Given the context of our conversation, I'm sure you won't be surprised to learn I avoided paying detailed attention to that particular discussion at the time.

If you don't know, don't go looking. I'm going to have to endure the network again eventually. It may as well be to do my own legwork.

[He'd thought Stephen might allow the topic shift, but he's relieved all the same not to be called out on it.]

Technically I believe Nicky was organizing, but Gene's also there.

[And so Lance had coordinated with him since he knows him better, which he imagines might be the same case for Stephen.]

As far as doctors go I think Julian was also involved, so he could be another potential person to talk to.

Great. I'll see about getting in touch.

Thanks, Lance. It was good to speak with you.

[ And he means that exactly as he says it. Good to have an opportunity to talk, plainly and without either one of them reaching too blatantly for the high ground to the detriment of seeing something close to eye to eye. To get to know one another a little better, even if it was through the medium of a topic it's a wonder they hadn't yet exhausted.

Good also to be able to have a conversation, after everything. There are a good many more of them he'll need to have, but this one has been far from terrible. ]

[This is definitely not he he expected this conversation to end up, especially with how it started, but he'll take it. It's probably the best way it could've gone, and considering how bad everything has been for all of them lately, that's nothing short of miraculous.]

Yeah, you too. Let me know if there's anything you need.

[With dealing with all this, especially since he's not sure exactly how limited Stephen's support network is going to be at the moment.]
