Summary
Prompt 8: Growing Pains.
Lance feels like he always messes up and lets everyone down, but half of that is just how he was raised. So maybe it’s no surprise when on a planet, he accidentally does something that offends someone. Like literally any of the paladins could have managed to do it. Who knew that __ would have made these aliens so angry. But Lance is barely shocked by the slap

Prompt 9: Promise
Promises mean nothing anymore. They’re empty. Vague. Meaningless. Void of truth or honor or honesty or reprieve. Any of that. So don’t you dare try and make a promise to Lance. He can tell the difference between a liar and trying to be a therapist. He would honestly rather you lie to him. So don’t you dare make a promise. You’re an open book. And this song a child who’s just learned to read.

Summary
I promise I’ll fix this. I just fell asleep.
It won’t be super long. Like 2000 words or anything. But hopefully 700-1000 or so words.When I come back to this, look out for mentions of blood, general gore, and slight body mutilations. It’s pretty bad. But it gets better halfway through. Mostly.
