"Lance!" Krolia said as the rest of the group left the table. "Can I speak to you for a moment?"

Lance swallowed. It was no secret that he was terrified of Keith's mom. "Sure."

"I don't like you."

"Very blunt. I like it."

"But Keith does. He thinks you would be a suitable mate."

"A suitable- Keith likes me?"

"Obviously."

"Hm. I thought we were rivals."

"You are. But he's always liked you. Even back at the Garrison."

"How do you know that?"

"We saw each other's memories on the space whale. He likes you. A lot."

"But you don't."

"So sorry that the place you hold in my heart is not a place of endearment." Krolia said, poking her finger at Lance.

"I have a place in your heart? That's sweet."
"Don't push it."

"I'm just saying," Lance said, "Your son loves me apparently, so maybe you should, too."

"The only reason I'm talking to you is to let you know," Krolia started.

"That if I hurt him, you'll kill me?"

"He will kill you. I don't need to do that. I wanted to let you know that Keith's favorite food is fries and his favorite drink is hot chocolate. You'll need to know this if you want to court him."

Lance looked around the room. "You're okay with me dating Keith?"

"Ideally, no. But it's not my choice to make. It's Keith's. And apparently, he chooses you."

"Keith, your mom said something weird." Lance said, creeping up on the other boy.

Keith almost stabbed him. "Don't sneak up on me when I'm training."

"My bad."

"What did my mom say?"

"She said you liked me."

"Yeah. You and I are a good team."

"She said you wanted to mate with me."

Keith dropped his sword in surprise. He turned around and faced Lance, face flushed pink. "I don't know why she said that."

Lance smirked, enjoying how flustered Keith was getting. "She said she saw your thoughts on the space whale."

"That's nonsense. The space whale only shows memories. So even if I did want to, um, mate with you, she wouldn't have seen it."

"That's not what she said."

"Well, that's what I'm saying. And they're my thoughts, so I think I would know." Keith picked his sword up off the ground and walked away.
