[Ugh. He is not about to speak badly of Maketh to a friend of hers, especially not when he's here to be a professional, but somehow he doesn't think he's going to get away with lying either.]
Maketh and I don't see eye to eye on several issues, and so we're not on the best terms.
[All true, and as neutral and blameless in either direction as he can put it, but that's also all he's going to say on the issue.]
[Whistler instinctively chuckles under his breath the use of 'see eye to eye' but other than that he lets the opportunity for joking slip past on this occasion]
I can take a few guesses why that might be, but I'm getting the sense you'd like me to drop the subject.
[He takes a bite of pasta before adding]
M&M really helped me out when I first got here. It seems she's got a lot of experience with blind people, she even got me a cane to help me get around.
[It's probably for the best he didn't point it out; Lance would've cringed at himself so badly for that. For all his careful choosing of what information to reveal, he doesn't always put it in exactly the right terms.
He's suddenly reminded he's supposed to be eating by Whistler doing so, the whole idea difficult to reconcile with being here for a specific professional reason, but this isn't the weirdest situation he's ever been in by far; besides, eating gives him more of an excuse to think about how he's going to respond to the rest of that.]
I'm glad she was helpful to you.
[He means that genuinely, even if part of him can't believe it considering his early interactions with her. But it's interesting to know, and more than that it's something positive.]
[Now there's a 'let's move on' if he's ever heard one.]
Sorry if I stumbled on something personal there. Its hard knowing where the lines are drawn in this place. I've never had much interest in stirring things up

[Ok. Not exactly honest]
At least not like that.
