[ yes, well. lance hasn't quite gotten to experience that fun part of it just yet. as far as lance knows about this planet, it's all just fun and weird districts and some crazy...what. drugs? in the air? whatever it is, he's digging this whole nap area set-up and the fact that it can make even people who aren't into the idea into it? yes. yes please.

shiro can be as suspicious as he wants, but lance motions to the mountain of pillows around him looking unnecessarily proud of himself. ]

Uh, yeah? [ okay, so he deflates a little at shiro's tone but after a second he sets his hands on his hips. ] When was the last time you took a nap? For real. Not because exhaustion knocked you out for ten minutes. [ if shiro doesn't move, lance is going to s i g h and step forward, grabbing his arm and pulling him further into the space. ]

Listen, I know you against the whole sleeping for fun thing, but you should really try it. We're diplomats, right? Try the local culture. The local nap culture.

[ lance will walk behind him and push him onto the pillows if he has to. ]

If your heart is so set on it—

[ shiro doesn't like seeing lance deflate like that. there are moments when lance is loud and obnoxious and annoying, but shiro has never once doubted that his heart is in the right place. he cares, and shiro doesn't want to discourage that. and besides, he really feels like taking a nap right now, eyelids already growing heavy. ]

I guess there's no harm in a little nap.

[ he's not going to answer when he last took a nap. that's not an important question. at all. ]

Definitely set on it.

[ and lance is pushing him further in, over to a very comfortable set of pillows and blankets. if he were keith, he'd kick the back of shiro's knees and make him fall down into the feathery goodness that is this whole district. thankfully, he's not, so he will just wait for shiro to settle.

and if he doesn't, lance will grin brightly at him, yawn and stretch his arms over his head, before falling back onto the mountain of pillows. the second he hits them, the weight of this oncoming nap slams headfirst into him.

this was a great idea. ]

Just for a little bit, right? Not- [ another yawn. ] Very long. Just a nap.

[ lance pushes and shiro moves toward that set of pillows and blankets. it does look really inviting and after a moment and another glance at lance, he sits and slowly leans back into the pillows until he's half-lying. it feels a little odd for a moment, like he should be doing something else instead, but the sensation passes after few breaths.

it wasn't a terrible idea, shiro will give him that. ]

Yeah, all right.

[ a nap. sleep. the thought seems increasingly appealing, and shiro closes his eyes for a moment, but still mumbles: ] How did you even find this place?
