I mean my mom used to talk about Guardian Angels and Patron Saints but I'm pretty sure that's not the same thing?
[ don't get lance started on his family's weird headcanoned relationship with catholicism, mako. that's not what you're looking for here. but then mako is turning his hand, and quickly clasps them together, slotting his fingers between lance's and oh, oh, well. lance definitely has a ping of something in his chest - he'd assumed this was? a joke? but mako is definitely now holding his hand and lance is just going to. ignore the way his face definitely pinks just a bit. ]
Uh, Mako... [ but no, mako just soldiers on, and lance is left trying to listen but also looking down at his hand. this is intimate, isn't it? he can feel mako's pulse, almost, the warmth of his hand. but okay, c'mon lance, don't get distracted. he's talking about alternate worlds and where they exist and apparently it's a place you go where you die, but spirits aren't necessarily dead, and okay. he might....he kind of understands. and actually feels himself nod along. ]
Okay yeah- that's kind of like old school mythology? Sure. [ nevermind the fact mako is talking like this is actually real and the mythology lance is thinking about is absolutely not, but he's also been to an alternate reality where shiro had a swedish accent, so he can't really talk about things being weird.
then mako's fingers flex, and that ping of what-have-you shoots through him again. did it just get warmer out here? maybe? sure. he'll go with that. ]
That...actually does make a little bit of sense. Did Korra do that on purpose, or was it an accident? Because this- [ he uses his free hand to point to their fingers, their hands, where they're holding each other. just. ignoring how he kind of squeezes mako's hand in the motion of it. ] Seems like it could probably be dangerous. If the worlds were supposed to be separated, I mean.
