[He can tell Henry means it, and that makes it a lot more meaningful than if he's just been trying to make him feel better. At least he managed to help that much, even if it feels like the most basic of things he could've done; great, he stopped someone from running off on a mission to torture someone, and only managed to do that by calling in backup.

I may still have to end my involvement. I'll speak with Maketh about what happened whenever she decides to contact me again, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to continue doing so afterward.
[He isn't sure if Henry knows Maketh had come to him for counseling, but he gets the impression that he has the idea at least. So although Lance doesn't admit it outright, he still wants Henry to know that the arrangement might have to end, because that will mean it's back to being just up to Henry to keep an eye on her.]
