Lance's rebellious streak and trouble with authority is clearly a trait he gets from his father.
How do I know this? Most of Galaluna had already excepted that the man was a tad unhinged (given the other's reation to the Rift Gate incident and Baron's passing comment to Lance). Even the King admits his friend was headstrong and often did things his way, even if other's disagreed- Like walking directly into an untested wormhole without an gear on.
This means we were robbed of a feral father and son duo! The amount of chaos those two would probably get up to would have been hilarious!
"Shadows of Youth" is so frustrating to watch.
Interesting choice of words in Shaman of Fear:
Ilana is still convinced that Lance is fighting her father until he points out two things:
1: Would the King ever raise a hand to his daughter or attack her?
And 2- How could *Lance* have defeated him so easily?
That last part struck me as a little alarming. Lance is trying to prove the King is fake by pointing out things Ilana would know about her father already. Why would she know that Lance is no match against him in combat?
It's unlikely that she saw his military training or even that the King had a hand in it, so it rules that out. Even if she knew what her father was capable of, that still doesn't explain how she would know that Lance (who has shown an impressive amount of skill in the field of battle) would still be no match against the King in any sort of fight.
Even if its just to imply that she should know the King is stronger than that, why would Lance have to bring that up at all? Shouldn't it be unlike the King to fight one of his own men AND his daughter? Why word it like that?
A bit of a more sinister take is that we already know the King's unnecessary level of disdain towards Lance prior to the war- is it possible (yet unlikely) that this extended to a physical level? We only really know that the King is kind and loving to Ilana, but what else do we really know about him?
It could be a stretch, but its still a little detail I noticed and thought about.
Ever notice that the King and Co seem to blame like 99% of Lance's "behavior issues" on Edward or Edward being dead?
