I think you and I have very different understandings of what we consider 'trust'.
[Because trusting someone's opinion, to him, means being willing to believe they're right even if his own experience and intuition tell him otherwise. That's incredibly rare for him, and not something he does lightly, especially not when it's someone he barely knows and has disagreed with more often than not.
That's also vastly different from respecting someone else's opinion, or believing they may have good intentions even if they're getting there a different way, which have categories of their own. He's not entirely sure how Ren's using the trust here, but he's pretty certain it's not how Lance is.
But either way, he nods in thought at the rest of what Ren says, clarifying--]
Since more people didn't stand up in which respect, agreeing to the tests or doing something to oppose them?
