[ it is, unfortunately, a fairly common occurrence:
lance was having a dilemma.
luckily, this particular dilemma did not have anything to do with stolen lions, or evil brainwashing sea serpents, but rather a far more practical dilemma... which is somehow worse.
he spent a good portion of the morning considering his options. he could approach allura, of course, who has always been the far more welcoming and accommodating of the two, and though their situation is different now, lance doesn't think that would largely change if he were to asks her.
then again, if he were to ask her, he would risk incurring perhaps not her ire, but definitely her judgment and possibly even her disappointment, and lance doesn't think his heart nor his ego could withstand such a devastating blow.
there's keith, of course, but keith is keith, which means he'd probably spend a good portion of his asking detailing exactly how and why he came to this position, whether keith actually doesn't know, or he'd just play dumb to drag lance through the fire — it's really anyone's guess. plus, asking keith would be indirectly admitting he'd failed at something, and he knows his ego wouldn't be able to withstand that.
but who else did that leave him with? he doesn't exactly want to tap onto the shoulders of any of the other friends he'd met here, if only because it wouldn't really leave them with the best impression of him, and he's still valiantly working on leaving a good one with the majority of them.
all this to say, really, that there's a reason lance suddenly corners his two housemates, a wide smile spread across his lips and a ready plan on his tongue. ]
Who wants to go on a shopping trip~??
[ because, you know, just flat out asking for money would be way too difficult and complicated. ]
insert obligatory shopping montage
