Alright. I presume he'll go through these conversations later, if he hasn't already, so perhaps the advice will get to him and he'll reconsider confronting the issue on his own.

[Lance hopes so, because it's obvious things aren't exactly working in continuing as they are. But he doubts anyone is going to listen to him, and he can't exactly make them do anything, so hopefully they'll just come to the same conclusion on their own.]
