[That gets a fresh burst of laughter as he takes Allura's hand and steps into the small compartment.]

Oh man, if you won me a prize, I'd treasure it forever and ever.

[He takes a seat, and the attendant closes the gate.]

Not that I don't already do that when it comes to you - [Uh. wait. This is getting real cheesy for talking to a friend -- ABORT. He rubs the back of his head, grinning sheepishly.] Heh.

[Yeah, just "heh." Real. Real smooth transition there, Lance. But he's spared a little because the ride begins to move and their basket swings a little as they move up into the air.]

Woah, alright we're heading into the sky! Bet the view's really something up on the top of the world.

[Allura gets quiet when Lance turns up the cheese, and she can feel a tightness to her chest as she turns away, in a show of appreciating the view (which was just slightly-above-ground-level tents and trees at this point). It’s not the first time she’s felt like this, not even the first time this night, and she’s not obtuse enough not to realize what it is she’s feeling — she felt it in the moment that her mice told her about Lance’s true feelings, in the relief of seeing him on El Nysa and a dozen times in between.

But that doesn’t make it any less complicated.

She’s quiet for a bit, fiddling with the plush lion in her lap while she thinks. Abruptly, without looking at him,]

Lance, back home, do you remember… a conversation that you had with the mice?

[Being trapped on a ferris wheel is the perfect time to bring up vague awkward feelings. (And a great time to forget that their memories might not exactly match up.)]
