[Lance isn't sure what to say about it being on the house. It's a nice gesture and he appreciates it, but he's a kid that grew up poor, so...]

you sure? i can pay
what sort of stuff do you have?

[He should probably at least know a little bit about what he's potentially putting in his body.]

well i owe you one, so if you need anything...
i dunno, all i've got are a cool robot lion with lasers and a high tech suit
and ears, i guess

you know
for listening

We can worry about that after we find a cure for this thing. And besides, the robo mountain men asked me to help out around the med tents so I'm rolling in non-opiods and NSAIDS. You don't owe me for any of their stuff.

But I'll take the robot lion and the hanging out. 👍

_{[But this being Josh, there's more to come.]}

I've had a lot of time to bake, so I have plenty of under the counter prescriptions to go around. Fruit galettes for energy with that fruit we found in the graveyard, you remember that? A brown betty that would put a younger Mike Tyson down for a nap. The peanut bars will make you forget you have a scratchy throat, or that you even have a throat. Any nut allergies?

Oh, and the usual baked goods. And by baked I don't just mean oven fresh.

[Welp... that's a lot of information, some of which he doesn't understand.]

alright, thanks man. seriously.

and wow, that's...
a lot

okay, so what's a brown betty? and uh, what's in all the rest of that stuff you said?

[His experience with drugs are pretty limited to alcohol, edibles and some ecstasy a couple times by accident. He's a babe in the woods, guide him obi josh kenobi.]

_{[That's barely scratching the surface, my son.

In answer, he sends a picture. That's not drug talk, it's just a damn good dessert.]}

Sometimes it's better to savor it without knowing all the details. Don't worry, I'm well-versed in the art of needing to emotionally make like a leaf and float.

[He takes a moment to study the picture.]

man, too bad my appetite's been missing in action
and alright, man. i trust you.
if i die from anything you give me i'll just make sure to do it in your house so i can haunt you

Um, no to the haunting, but consider it a yes on getting you back up to snuff. I'll throw in a complimentary betty for when your appetite's back, how's that? Bet they don't have good desserts in space.

thanks man, when do you want me to come over?
and actually, they got great desserts in space
especially if hunk's making it
youd like this one dessert the mermaids made for us
they called it zillergorfelwaddle
or something like that
aliens, am i right?

[wink wink nudge nudge]

I take it back. I, for one, trust anyone known by a flattering noun. I love that the naming scheme stuck. But really, mer-aliens?

_{[What will they think of next?]}

No worries, no need to go out of your way. Why don't I bag up some samples and come to you? You just let me know where and when and I'll be there.
