[Oh, typical Lance. He's glad the jabs have become less antagonistic over the years. How many he won't bother going into because space time is weird after spending so many in space.]
They'll think of something else to point out eventually. Kids always do.
[Keith still sometimes calls him an old timer, though; that he won't share with Lance. Let him hope.
If he knew what was going through Lance's head, he'd point out how he was the support when they needed him to be. They'd all grown so much from the time he'd met them; from their days as cadets. He couldn't be more proud of them.]
I understand. My office is always open if that changes.
[Both on base and in the IGF-Atlas, though that likely goes without saying. Whatever's bothering him, he trusts Lance to talk about it if he needs to.]
He'll appreciate it. They all will.
[He's had Katie in his office panicking in her usual long rants at least twice this week. Will he say that? Nah. He'll find out eventually, if rumors haven't already spread.]
