[Yeah, there is definitely something hanging over Keith, and Lance isn't sure it's all him. He's getting the distinct feeling there's some Trench nonsense involved and it has his teeth clenching. He should stay with him until it passes, do his best to protect Keith from it turning bad.]
Alright, alright. [He tries to inject soothing calm into his voice as he raises his hands up a placatingly.] How about we just go for a walk somewhere quiet. Like the woods, or the beach? Or-
[The tree bursts into flame and he jumps a bit. Shit… now would be a great time for him to have some kind of ice powers too. It's kind of weird and uncomfortable that he doesn't given his whole deal, but that's something to think about another day. In Deerington he could absorb energy from external sources, he hasn't tried since coming to Trench since he hasn't needed to. Guess this is as good a time as any to test it out. He goes over to the tree and reaches a hand out, the flames stutter and head towards his hand and his skin glows red and orange when contact is made instead of the blue-gold he usually emits.]
Hey, looks like I got it! [For now, anyway. He turns to Keith, trying to keep the concern from leaking through too heavily. Last thing he needs is to feel any more pressure and frustration than he already is, and other people's worry can sometimes become yet another thing piled on.] Everything's gonna be fine, just uh, focus on breathing. Alright?
