[He'd probably rather gouge his own eyes out than break a promise to her. There's a pause, but not as long as it has been in other conversations.]

i guess it's best to just pull of the band aid so here it goes:
i kinda sorta

let moira experiment on me a little and something weird happened so im not sure how safe it is to be around me until i figure it out

[princessences]

[ Record scratch. (Or the Altean equivalent thereof.) ]

Experiment on you? For what? WHY?

Lance, what happened?

[azurestar]

[Every message he sends takes some time for him to write and send, but he manages to give her a somewhat better answer.]

...okay, i could have worded that better
experiment makes it sound way worse
sorry

i asked her to help me
because she's done it before with her science stuff
but it was temporary last time
and i knew there could be side effects if i went for the more permanent package

and side effects are what i got

[princessences]

[ Experiment makes it sound very concerning! And Allura is Concerned, as anyone would be. ]

Done what? Was she testing something? Moira is a very intelligent individual and I value her input and expertise greatly, but her inclinations are a little amoral for my taste.

[ She does work with her in FEAR, now. ]

What sort of side effects?

[azurestar]

[Just get out with it, man.]

she's
patched up my head i guess

ive sort of
been losing my mind
y'know

seeing and hearing stuff
so i asked her to help
and she made it kinda better so it wasn't a total bust

but now ive got some ability that makes me kinda radioactive sometimes
and i don't wanna risk being around you guys until ive got a handle on it

[princessences]

[ Um...Lance. That doesn't sound like...patching. At least successful patching. ]

Lance, how long has this been going on?

Wait, RADIOACTIVE?
