[Lance focuses on drinking his coffee in order to avoid saying the first thing that comes to mind, which is that he doesn't really care about that right now either; sure, he does in theory, but can't muster up the emotional effort for it. If someone decides to try to get revenge and fails, then maybe they should've thought it out better.
Instead, what he actually says is much more neutral if still a little flippant.]
We'll deal with that if it happens; I doubt we've going to convince anyone set on revenge not to try it, and protecting people who aren't actively looking for trouble is somewhat more important. There are others who've said they may take the Null up on their offer, and surely more than that weren't so obvious about it, and so doing what we can to make sure they don't have any easy targets to go after is a higher priority.
