[ he laughs quietly, running an idle hand through his hair. since his hand was wet, it makes his short hair stick up in odd angles, but he doesn't seem to notice. ]
I was away for school, for a year. We'd still call and all, so you know, it wasn't too bad... But then some stuff kinda happened, and I had to leave the planet suddenly.
[ he shrugs his shoulders. a long story. ]
Something bigger than me, and my family. It's been... months? Maybe even a whole other year, I'm not too sure. They still don't know what happened to me.
[ he smiles upon hearing she's found her family. it makes his chest feel warm, reminding him of the first time he saw his own mother in the stasis unit... ]
I saw my mom, too. I haven't yet found everybody else, but I know they're all there somewhere.
Leave the planet? [She looks surprised at that, but she figures everyone now has a similar story what with the Storm and all, though from the way Lance is talking this happened long before that.]
It's the same with my people. Or, rather... They have an idea of what happened, but... The people that love you will always cling to hope, no matter what. I'm sure once they awaken, your family will be overjoyed to see you alive and well.
[Mipha looks up at him, determined and set in her conviction..] And they will awaken.

...Thanks, Mipha. I hope I get to meet your family one day. They sound really cool.
[ he sniffles again, reaching up to brush his nose with the back of his hand.
anyway... enough of that. ]
So... a little birdie told me the winner of our race gets a popsicle. How about it?
