[A difference. Okay. He could process that... later. That split second of eye contact gave Keith a glimpse of something, and it looked painful, until he was suddenly being shoved away. With the little bit of control he had over his body, Keith did manage to keep himself from completely ending up flat on his back, but he definitely fell back on his hands.
It took a moment for the shock to fade.]
I-... I'm sorry. [He was worried now. This wasn't like Lance at all. Granted, sure, Hunk was the outright hugger of the team, but Lance was definitely tactile. He draped himself on his friends, and leaned on them, and touched them... and this was all wrong. Keith didn't know why it bothered him so much, since he sometimes found all the physical contact to be annoying, but it just wasn't Lance.
And honestly, if he thought about it, that was the problem.
Another universe, huh? Which meant there could be time slippage, too. Which would explain why Lance looked the same age as Keith, now. Keith had always been like half a year older, but the time in the abyss had given him another two years on everyone. But now they looked to be the same... though, Lance seemed to have been through a lot in that time, as Keith really focused on taking it all in. His face shifted from shocked hurt to concerned seriousness as he managed somehow to finagle his half-working limbs into a better sitting position.]
