[Lance looks a little over life at the moment, which most of his friends probably recognize as his standard look when not being purposefully professional. He's not bothering with the latter right now, both because he's a bit annoyed and because he thinks it would be pointless, so instead everyone gets normal, slightly bitchy Lance.]
Okay, I wish I could say that I can't believe I have to remind people of this, but vigilante justice is not exactly the best idea here. Not only is it morally wrong to just declare yourself to have the authority to decide who is and isn't deserving of 'justice', but it's logically wrong too; you're just going to cause problems, not solve them.
I'm not saying not to intervene when something's actively happening, but going after someone days or weeks later is just starting the whole process of retaliation all over again. So can everyone just take their egos down a notch and, if they're concerned about someone being an active threat or something, work on coming up with some sort of solution that isn't going to make things worse as soon as it's done?
[This is not the first time he's had to go into this discussion while here--or at home--and so that's why he's being extra short about it. He's also not just talking about the recent incident, it's simply what prompted him to say something this time.]

no subject
[Especially since he's not directly involved, and he's a bit of a control freak.]
They haven't, no. Nothing beyond what was in their post.
no subject
Like now, when the flickers at the edges of his vision push in again and he's momentarily distracted before he answers.]
... Interesting. [Perhaps someone ought to, but then, in the end, the motives ceased to matter the moment he froze the demon.] I'll wish you luck, then. And I offer my aid, should you find yourself in need of it.
no subject
[And he means that, even if he doubts he'll take Ignis up on his offer. But Ignis also seems distracted a bit, and so it's probably best to let him get to whatever he's thinking about, especially since everything important has been covered.
So he offers a small nod of farewell before disconnecting.]
