[When was the last time he let himself feel like this? He can't really remember, and this definitely doesn't feel like something he's allowing. It's just happening. And that's anxiety inducing because with emotions like this comes the glowing under his skin and he has to keep that under control. The touch from Bolin startles him slightly, but he doesn't pull away or want to throw him off.
God, what a time to start crumbling. Bolin is a friend, but they haven't been friends for that long, or gotten super close. He imagines this must be so uncomfortable for him, but he's still here isn't he? Well, Lance is definitely uncomfortable, but that feels like a tiny point of concern right now next to everything he's riding through.
He stays in that position for a bit, how long is hard to say. He's just desperately trying to get it together enough to at least speak like a normal person. Eventually, after intermittent tremors and some hidden away tears, he takes some deep steadying breaths and wipes his face as he pulls his hands away and places them on the table. The shifting ethereal glow of his ability under the surface of his skin is still present, but it's not dangerous.]
Thanks, man. I… dunno where that came from. [And that's not really true, he's just not sure how to talk about it, if he even can, or if Bolin even wants to hear it.]
