            Red normally isn’t patient at all. He hates to wait, and he hates wasting time, especially in Council sessions where nothing of import ever gets discussed.

            Still, he’ll endure it, because at least he gets to sit next to Lance and fall asleep in his arms if everything gets too boring.

            No one comments, since they all know that he’s still a kid and shouldn’t have to deal with this sort of thing, and Lance will take notes for both of them. So it pretty much works out nicely, and he’s glad.

            But sometimes, Red has lots of patience. He can spend hours training and grooming pokémon without feeling the press of time, and when he’s in bed with Lance, well, there’s no sense in being impatient!

            Lance knows this, so he rewards Red very well when he’s patient, and Red whimpers, just a little, as he feels Lance’s hands move over him.

            Sometimes, not talking makes it all better.

            Sometimes, Red grins, it’s worth it to be patient.
