[Lance is more the simmering, glowering anger type, but if he were very deeply angry he's be being a lot more vicious in what he says. He's still displeased, for sure, but he's doing his best to put that aside and be pragmatic, especially since it's clear Carlisle genuinely didn't mean any harm.

But he hesitates, still, to continue, at least for another several seconds; he's still tense and trying to relax a bit, mentally and physically. Being overly tired isn't helping with that, but after a bit more silence he thinks he's feeling a little more normal again, and considers Carlisle's words.]

I think I have the most difficulty recognizing the compulsion when it's something that seems logical, or...

[He hesitates again, trying to decide how honest to be, before continuing.]

Or if it's something that seems to have an immediate, serious consequence if it isn't done.

[Which had been the case for the event that started all of this, and why the last command Carlisle had tried had been so dangerous.]
