his eyes seeming to inspect stevenʼs well–being all the same. “i kind of still need it. well– i think so, anyway.”

but even now, as he teases, his smile is warm when their eyes meet again.

“…it is good to see you, my friend. it has been far too long.”

lance cannot help but laugh, his arms folding in the process. he definitely thinks his ʼterrifying selfʼ is important with his line of work– judging from the way his pokémon take after him, most the time.

“resting wouldnʼt make my scary face and title go away, now, would it?” a teasing remark,

a pause, lance smiling as he turns to face his friend. a hand on his chin, a smug look on his face.

“…when i show up, that alone seems to be making them shudder in fear.”

it does sound familiar. in a sense that, lance shouldʼve long turned and greeted with a bright smile– but right now he is just delighted to focus on that voice. …stevenʼs appearance clearly went down well.

“calmer environments create peace of mind. it is wise. give yourself room to breathe, because you will need it in the long run. i recommend not letting it fester. but i suppose anyone would…”

and i, too, believe– that you should too. you have now seen what lies ahead. seen the future. follow your intuition… all will fall into place with each step you take.”

he heaves out a soft sigh, arms folding.

“at the end of the day, you see change must occur. that is the start of a better future.

lance is reserved when it comes to his past. speaking of it… no. he only does that with very few people. people he knows he can trust. )

it is just hard to be proud of myself, admittedly. sometimes.
