Lance likes his friend group, he really does. Yet sometimes even someone as patient as him needs a break from them. Be it from the ever arguing Dot, his own dorm mate he needs to be around come curfew again, or the naive airhead Lemon that's a bit too set on marrying Mash rather sooner than later. Even Finn takes some distance by studying, however that's supposed to work with Mash doing his heavy lifting and what-not.

Thus, Lance is quite content in the garden behind the academy. It's a quite hidden spot further back, underneath a blooming tree where he rests. In his hands, a book which he reads with his usual lack of expression.
