Lance wishing to posture for holding up all avenues of thought while having a very sturdy argument for why one avenue is particularly problematic will never sit right by me. It means that, to some degree, he's worried about how it might seem if someone follows that path. Surely you'll see how he manipulates others soon enough.
I've already explained the problem with Ian. [The other problem is that he doesn't have the same blinding rage that he had when Ian walked into that part of the conversation. By this point, if Akechi is talking at all, it's because Ren's calmed him down.]
If you're seeking an apology for them or yourself, I'm not interested in giving it. You'll be much better off if you accept that now. And if you mean to imply that this is what I do all the time, then you'll notice that how I refer to them is the same again and again, for often similar actions.
This isn't me trying too hard, or trying to overcompensate. This is simply how I see them. See many of the Displaced. I won't be surprised if you don't. I'm a rare person to be found in Ren's company.
yeah, i know how you feel about them and congrats on being consistent, i guess? but if you could do me a favor and stop bringing it up to me in the future, that would be awesome i want to focus on the rest of what we were talking about how to get shit moving
[Because he hadn't only been referring to the public conversations. But he knows that's what it seems like. Alas.]
I'm busy tonight. Perhaps if people have an idea that's somehow more salient than Ren walking through an open door, I'll give my input. Otherwise, another time, hm?

play to your strengths or whatever
you don't have to be so mean to everyone else though
you know?

Having and wanting are two different things.
What you say won't cause a breakthrough with me. You're better off speaking to Ren at this point.

i totally missed that
how embarrassing
[Does the sarcasm translate? She hopes it does.]
it's fine that you don't like them or whatever
i'm not your mom
but the way you talk about them is gross
