Lance thought about all the people he had known on Red Light and with Weapon X. He couldn't see a lot of them even be interested in hearing him out if he had tried to tell them what the Shepherds taught him. "Some people are more ready to listen than others. Some people, James, I'm not sure that they would even be able to hear the words if you shouted them at them. Too busy listening to themselves. Man can get tired of talking at that sort of thing." One of the reasons he hadn't gone through his going the order. Lance wasn't the sort who could stand to go unacknowledged.
Yeah, he knew that James had to follow the path where it took him, but he could hope, couldn't he? There were some people not meant for certain areas of the black. "I'd just be worried about you. Most of those people, the ones who won't listen, they're in the Core. From what I've seen."
