I get that. Unfortunately, sometimes for progress, you gotta wait.

[Which, he doesn't like either, but them's the breaks.]

[tempredmental]

[Keith closed his eyes, taking a deep breath in thought his nose before letting it out slowly.]

'Patience yields focus.'

[His voice was quiet, but clearly that meant something to him.]

[tantailizing]

Huh...?

[He raised an eyebrow. So, impatience was a regular occurrence.]

[tempredmental]

Hm?

[Keith snapped out of his thoughts.]

Oh... it's... It's something my friend told me once. He's always given me really good advice, and it kind of stuck with me. Which is funny because he finally admitted it was kind of a throwaway phrase to just keep me calm in the moment. But, it kind of worked. [He shrugged.] I lean on him a lot, though. And now... he's not here. Again. It's the second time he's disappeared.

[Well, from this place. Shiro had disappeared twice back home, too. Keith was kind of getting tired of it, honestly.]

[tantailizing]

I mean, for a throwaway phrase, it's a pretty good one. [He flashed a grin, but then went back to a calmer expression.]

There's nothing wrong with missing someone pretty significant like that. And it's not like he's gone forever, he's just... away. You got everything he's told you memorized from the sound of it, and it's time to use those words to take your own steps forward. It sucks, but we can't expect people to be around all the time either.

[tempredmental]

Yeah, I know.

[Oh, he knew, alright. He'd lost a lot of people in his life before.]

It's just hard.

[He took a sharp breath and shook his head.]

Sorry. I don't mean to dump all this on you.

[tantailizing]

[He shook his own head, grinning.]

Hey, it's fine. Friends gotta unload sometimes. If you're feeling bad about something, it's not like I can read your mind.

[tempredmental]

[That got a small smile in return.]

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

[tantailizing]

Hey, no problem!

[He nods, smiling wide.]

So, whaddya say about going out for a hunt? Bring back some food for these new guys and the refugees?

[tempredmental]

[Keith seemed to consider his options for a moment, and then nodded a little.]

Alright. Sure.
