I don't know. [That's the short, honest answer: Keith has been avoiding it so much that it's more difficult than just saying "yes" or "no."] Lance now isn't the Lance before. This whole multiverse thing makes a mess of everything. He didn't spend a year here with me. He's just the guy who's my second in command, and I don't want to be in command.

[Keith pants out a sigh and leans forward.]

I don't know what I feel. [It's Keith, though. When is that a change?]
