[Lance is definitely a perfectionist, with a helpful dose of being convinced that if he doesn't get it right immediately then not only is it a huge failing but he's just terrible at whatever it is with no hope of improving. But he knows that about himself, and so he tries to listen to what Nate says instead of his own feelings on the subject at the moment.
Instead, he listens to the answer as he looks around at their location, shifting on his feet a little uncertainly before looking back at Nate.]
Okay. I'll keep all of that in mind.
[He means it, but it's probably obvious in his voice just how dubious he is that this is going to be useful. Not that Nate isn't providing useful information, just that Lance is not sure about applying it; he's never been too effective in a fight before, at least not without falling back on his gun or magic, and so this suddenly feels like a hopeless waste of time when Nate could surely be doing something more important.]
