[Harlan's right in that Lance wouldn't have brought it up if he weren't willing to talk at least a little, even if he'll avoid specifics. But the question is fair and easy enough to answer, although he avoids eye contact despite his tone being light and almost joking.]

I was kind of a spiteful kid. My name was something that was mine, and it was... Sort of just stubbornness, I guess.

[A way to say he wouldn't let what happened alter anything about him if he didn't have to, or something like that. Not that he's judging Harlan's decision or anything, it was just a symbolic, personal victory for Lance.]
