[Lance makes an exaggerated and purposeful face that's clearly 'you're wrong and it's absurd to even suggest that' at Atem's first comment, but then smiles a little and much more genuinely at his next. He's enjoying the conversation too, now that the tension has faded, but although leaving the discussion on a good note is definitely the best way to do so it still doesn't undo the more emotionally stressful earlier part of the conversation. And Atem's right that Lance can use the rest himself too, both mentally and physically.]
I will. I'll be around, though; I practically live here now.
[It's... Sort of a joke, at least? But he has been spending the cast majority of his time at the Clinic recently, with everything going on.
The last question isn't one he's expecting, and it briefly shows on his face, but although when he smiles again it's more subdued it's also still genuine.]

I do now, yes. Thank you.
[For caring at all, let alone enough to ask.]
