    Summary

    It has only been a week, but in that week, Lance’s worry never abates. In that week, he remains steadfast to not linger on this worry, to use the time well. In that week, Lance does his best to engage with the advisors, for once, learning their names. In that week, Lance draws parallels to how their lives can shift and become better when Keith returns from battle, and how this new chapter may bring forth a new wave of prosperity to his home and Keith’s. To, perhaps, their shared home. So long as Keith returns.

    And he will return.

    He must.

    He has to.

    Lance knew his role from the start - a consort, a political pawn, a pretty face with a purpose. He never imagined that purpose would feel so much like surrender.
