[Lance nods and continues to hold Keith's face in his hands, but moves himself a bit to the side so he can see more of the courtyard and the pond. His hands are trembling more as he loosens his grip a bit now that Keith seems to be coming out of the flashback.]
Yeah, we were squids. We came back and we're fine.
[Physically anyway. His heart feels like it's going to tear in two after seeing Keith go through a traumatic flash like that. He'd wanted to protect him from this now that he got a reset… it feels cruel that the only positive he saw in him losing his memories is already slipping away. But maybe he can still help. He lets out a shuddered breath and leans in to hug Keith again, weaving his arms under Keith's to loosely wrap around his waist.]
I'm… I'm sorry. That it happened.
[His voice is hoarse and shaky. When he was stalking Keith for whatever reason, he should have seen what was happening and stopped him and then the Reckoning wouldn't have… he heaves a shuddered breath. At the time, his warped mind had thought Keith was killing and hurting people who deserved it because they tried to take Keith from him. It was so messed up, he should've fought through the haze in his head better and been there for him.]
