[ Wu's about to gain more steam, trying to find new ways to egg on the monster when it's let loose again and he instead lets out a scream and scrambles back until

Lance hits it. He hits it, and the monster goes down, and Lance goes down too, and Wu stares, fear dropping through him. The crowd around them, who he's largely ignored, is going wild ]

Lance! Lance!

[ He kicks up dirt as he runs toward him, his heart in his throat. He manages to reach Lance, breathing hard, and drops down into the dirt next to him. ]

Lance, buddy, are you okay? Oh, boy, please don't be dead!

[He wasn't kidding when he said that he's never done anything like that before, he really hasn't. This is about the first time he's really let himself do things like that with his powers and it took a lot of mental focus and energy to achieve. It also caused some damage, but nothing serious, so he just needs a rest.

He hears Wu calling and running, and he lifts a hand to give him a thumbs up. But it takes him a moment, so it only raises the moment Wu is next to him. His eyes are closed and he hums.]

Y-yeah. I'm fine, that was just crazy, man. [He cracks his eyes open to look up at Wu, brows drawing together.] You okay?

[royalfling]

Am I okay?! I'm fine! You saved the day, Lance! You won. Do you hear that?

[ The crowd is still cheering and roaring for them, and Wu grasps his hand, squeezing tight. ]

That was really amazing. Really amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you-- I would have been a goner without you, buddy!

[azurestar]

We won.

[Lance counters, and chuckles. Sure, he did most of the work… okay, all of the work, but he knows what it's like to feel like a burden and valuing a strong team is a key trait of the Red Paladin. He stiffly pushes himself up and looks out at the crowd, then can't help but grin and shoot them finger guns.]

Aw yeah, hear that Wu? They love us! You did an awesome job as bait, man. Soak it in!
