[ lance, in turn, opts for not saying anything at all too. he doesn't want to accidentally make things even more uncomfortable, even if, in a way, they've both sort of settled into a grim silent understanding. he's still hot all over, but he kind of misses the idle crackling of the fire.
before long, he's rising up to his feet. no amount of meditation or breathing exercises is helping to get rid of this boner, and it's bound to drive him nuts (ha) sooner or later. ]
Well. There's no point in both of us sitting here with problems. [ yeah, no, he's not ready to full on say "boners" so freely, you can't make him! ] I think I'm gonna... see if I can't find a room to — take care of this.
[ he shifts on his feet so he's still somewhat keeping his problem out of sight, while also not really glancing keith's way either. trying to offer up what privacy they can have. is it going to be weird to whack off knowing keith knows what he's doing, even if he is in a whole other room? sure. but some things are just necessary at this point. and, again... there's something comforting about knowing this is all happening with someone who already has a number of reason to think poorly of him, and still doesn't. so. that's gotta amount to something, right?
he makes it to the stairwell before he's turning towards keith again, one hand rubbing at the back of a heated neck. ]
Hey... It might have turned out a little weird, but. You still got us fed, Keith. That's what's most important here.
( keith's feeling like he's going to crawl out of his skin sooner rather than later and is contemplating how to tell lance he's just going to go out for a little bit and pretend that they both don't know what that means. but, lance saves him a little bit of face by going to take care of his "problem" first. and in a way he's grateful for that. he still feels really guilty, but it's mollified, if only for a moment, by lance easing the situation.
he makes a sound of acknowledgment that he heard, but offers no more than that. as soon as he knows lance is gone and out of sight, he's going to bolt out the front and find someplace for himself. it's probably best they don't taint where they're sleeping with their nasties.
but, as he pushes to get up to his feet, lance says something else and keith kind of just stops. he clears his throat. )
Yeah. ( well, on the one hand it's not like they can go without food forever, so they'd have to eat something eventually. but it would've been nice to know before hand so they could've just eaten alone. ) Pretty sure it's more than just a little, but. I get it. ( softer, ) Thanks.
