[ he's fairly oblivious to a lot of things - even lance will admit to that - but there is something more than just a little obvious about the way people will try and hide that they've been crying, or how allura tries to wipe away her face as he approaches. his stomach drops at the sight of it, for whatever reason feeling kind of guilty and kind of bad and kind of something else, entirely, at the sight of it.
so as he approaches, lance slides his hands into the pocket of his jacket, tilting his head off to the side to try and see her face, her eyes. ]
Hey. [ a beat, and then lance offers a half-smile of his own in return, but she has definitely pulled herself absolutely together, but that smile isn't really fooling anyone. but he also doesn't...want to call her out? if she doesn't want to talk about it. ] Mind if I join you?
