Negotiating

I just watched the entirety of Owl House in 3 days, why is it over? My soul hurts.

——————————————

When Keith permanently steps back up as black paladin, he does it knowing he will have to step out of his comfort zone.

However, he would gladly never negotiate with an alien leader ever again.

Anytime someone turns to him, expecting an answer or comment on the conversation, he can’t help but freeze up. The others have already accepted that this is just Keith being incredibly socially awkward, but it’s still painful to watch.

Finally after a grand total of 3 separate occasions of watching Keith struggle, Lance steps in. He, along with the rest of the team, all know what Keith has to say, but the alien leaders always turn to Keith, completely ignoring the others.

This particular planet has a name too long for Lance to pronounce, but the regal queen sitting at the head of the conference table acts the same as any other upper-class individual.

At the moment, her cold, unnerving glare is set on Keith as she waits for him to gather himself enough to speak.

Lance beats him to it.

“Your imperial highness. It’s our k pleasure to be here with you, and if I may, I’ll start with the briefing.”

The queen is shikwe. She whips her head back and forth between Lance and Keith so hard that Lance knows that she’ll feel it tomorrow.

She sneers. “I was told that the black paladin is in charge. As his second, you should not be speaking out of turn.”

Keith is not at all impressed. He suddenly, his chair screeching backwards. His hands slam down on the table and all eyes turn to him.

“Lance is my right hand, and has as much of a right to be speaking as I do. If you’d like us to continue to aid you and your people, then you will not treat any one of my team like that, ever.”

Lance had been sinking down into his seat at the queens words, worried that he had cost them the alliance, but he should have known that Keith wouldn’t let that slide. As inept as he is with his words, his fiery temper gains him the respect and compliance of everyone around him, when applied correctly.

Keith sits back down and motions for Lance to continue, a small smile settling on his face.

Lance grins back and leads the meeting. He is not questioned after that.

It continues on like that on every planet they recruit.

Keith has small panic attacks during those meetings regularly, but they’ve gotten manageable since Lance took the reins.

Lance doesn’t mind at all, he has a way with people, and this role makes him feel useful. It helps that Keith mouths a small thank you to him and pats his hand after every meeting.

Over time, their small gestures grow until it’s not uncommon for them to hold hands under the table and tangle their legs together while making agreements with foreign races.

The comfort each other like that, and while they both know that it’s not just friendly, neither wants to ruin the good thing that they have going.

So they don’t acknowledge it, even when they become close enough to read each other’s minds on the battlefield and start to confide in each other.

They spend more time together than they do with anyone else, but it brings them closer than ever before.

It’s Lance who breaks first. While he can be a serious person when need be, he’s also a hopeless romantic. It hurts to have so much and yet so little with Keith.

It’s 12am earthtime (or so they think) and both boys are talking in the kitchen over Hunk’s space-modified version of hot chocolate.

“I like you! Will you go out with me?” Lance blurts out suddenly.

Lance expects Keith to offer one of those fleeting smiles, or reject him.

Instead, Keith ducks his head, and his ears turn red. (Hey that rhymed, yay me.)

“I… I really want to, Lance. We both know by now that what we have is not friendship. Not like what we have with the other paladins. But if I accepted… and then if something were to happen to you… I wouldn’t be able to live with it. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.”

Lance has the same worry deep in the bottomless pit of his mind, but it hurt to hear Keith say it. He tries to keep us heart intact and his tears in.

“Well, that’s too bad. Because my heart is already yours, and when we get onto earth, we are going to date LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE. Do you hear me? I’m not having my life be taken my this damned war, and I will date you like we deserve to. That’s how I know we will make it back. That’s how I know that you won’t go sacrificing yourself like you always do anymore, because if we are together then you’ll have to live. For me. So, for now, can we just be boyfriends?”

Keith stares at him long and hard. Lance can feel the anxiety and fear creeping through him as Keith keeps him trapped in that deep gaze.

“Fine. Yes. We can be… boyfriends, if you’re sure that you really want to date me.”

Lance shrieks with joy, which startles Keith, before tackling the black paladin to the ground.

“Yes! Of course I want you, and I promise this will be the best decision of your life, babe.”

Keith’s face turns a bright, blotchy red, but he’s too content in Lance’s arms to care.

Artist Research

Janet Echlman

Earthtime 1.26 - by Janet Echelman an American sculptor. The monumental, floating form changes with the wind and weather. She got the concept from the scientific data sets of the 2010 Chilean earthquake and tsunami and also from the idea that we are all connected between the earth's natural system. The sculpture is soft and constructed from two types of technical fiber, making it lightweight enough to lace directly into existing structures without extra reinforcement.

Janet Echelman - Earthtime 1.78 Helsinki - 2021

Earthtime 1.78 Helsinki de Janet Echelman est une sculpture poids plume d’envergure architecturale. Le titre fait référence à un tremblement de terre qui a secoué le Japon en 2011 et a même raccourci le jour au niveau planétaire de 1.78 microsecondes. La forme volum��trique de la sculpture est construite à partir de données météorologiques documentant cet événement.

La maitrise que l’artiste a sur la forme finie de son oeuvre est à la fois facilité par les exploits de la science des matériaux qui a développé des fibres ultra-résistantes comme le polyéthylène de masse molaire très élevée (UHMPE) ainsi que par des logiciels qu’Echelman à l’aide d’informaticiens ont expressément conçus pour simuler les propriétés physiques de ces nouveaux matériaux.

C’est à cette intersection entre la matérialité et la simulation que Janet Echelman nous invite à contempler le vent qui vient perturber les filets météorologiques.

Length in Earth Time Mysteriously Increasing

Did you know our earth day getting short.

Atomic clocks and precise astronomical observations have demonstrated that days are abruptly growing longer. Science is puzzled as to why. This has a significant influence on our ability to keep accurate time as well as other precision technologies like GPS and others that control our modern way of life. Over the past few decades, Earth’s rotation around its axis has been increasing. This trend…
