Or just didn't include it in the script for the other. [He wouldn't be surprised if the build up was cut either, but that surprised look is genuine. It's hard to fake that.

He takes the bowl of popcorn and munches on it as the dragoon who formerly had such a strong temper refuses to give up on the other. It's almost comical now. He's trying really, really hard not to laugh as he slides the rice cakes into reach for Shiro. He's somewhat failing; his shoulders are shaking slightly. I'ts obvious that he didn't see this spin coming either, but damn, he doesn't mind it. This movie's gone from "uncomfortable parallels" to "just silly" in his mind and he is fine with this development.]

Somehow I get the feeling this is better than the joke option Lance tried to push. [He'll have to thank him later for pushing Shiro to picking up the first random dragoon "action" film he saw. This is great.]
