p class="MsoNormal"Lance didn't want to talk, and the fear of Shiro finding out about his scars scared him. Instead, he ran as fast as his legs would take him, it helped that Pidge and Hunk made the room more accessible for him and before Shiro could react to him running away, Lance had hidden himself away in a hole somewhere. Lance wondered about the routes the mice had shown him and refused to come out, not even blue could reach him. He could hear people running about currently, but he was also hoping that the spell would wear off. He stayed in the walls for some time he wasn't sure how long but eventually he was on the bridge in come high corner no one could see./p

p class="MsoNormal"Shiro had come on the bridge at that moment and seemed stressed. Hunk followed quickly after./p
p class="MsoNormal""I just wanted him to know he could talk to me about how he's been feeling, I don't know why he thinks he's useless to the team. But then he pulled on his sleeve so in the moment, in my fear he was self harming I asked him if he ever did harm himself before and what does he do. He runs away Hunk, he looked like I told him he was dying and then he runs away and hide and the mice can't even find him." Shiro dropped into his chair and groaned out of frustration./p
p class="MsoNormal""Wait, you asked him what?" Hunk seemed concerned his worry and possibly anger drip through his voice./p
p class="MsoNormal""I realized I asked the wrong thing but I needed to know he hadn't been harming himself. I almost believed him when he said and I quote 'and harm this beautiful skin'. I don't know how to help him Hunk, and his current situation makes it harder for me to track him down and be space dad."/p
p class="MsoNormal""You shouldn't have asked at all Shiro, if Lance wanted to talk about it, he would have." Shiro looked at Hunk like he grew a third head./p
p class="MsoNormal""Coran even said that he might not come to me about how he's been feeling because he's comparing it to what everyone else has been through, what I went through. But it should discount what he's been through; I want to help. I don't know how through when he won't let me." Lance watched as Hunk sighed then put a hand on Shiro's shoulder./p
p class="MsoNormal""Like I said, it's not my story to tell, but you have to wait for him to be ready. For now, we should just try and find a way to break the spell so he can be back to normal size. I'm pretty sure he's been stealing snacks without me noticing." Shiro looked down./p
p class="MsoNormal""Their working on it but Coran said it messed with the very essence of who they are. Without Blue mixing her own in we would never have found Lance. They don't even know where to begin to break it. That's why their testing Blue, try and bring her back to normal size first then Lance to make sure no harm will come to him."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lance wasn't sure how he should feel about the conversation, he also was now dreading the thought that he would be stuck this way for a long time./p
