A curveball comes his way. "We can worry about that later. Right now we got a bigger issue; What we're making for breakfast."

Heimrich notices Vance having some reservations about not getting right to training, though Alice says something first. "It does no good to worry on an empty stomach. Let's eat first, then we can plan from there."

That curveball certainly did come out of nowhere. Vance didn't know how to react to that immediately. Annoyed? Maybe a little. Stressed? Yeah. Anxious? Absolutely. He wanted to start preparing for the problem that's infront of him, he wanted to tackle it and handle it now and here were the two of them trying to distract him with food of all things.

Stood under those trees, he couldn't help but feel a little spark of anger at this attempted diversion. But he knew he was letting himself get angry for nothing... They were doing everything they could to distract him. To help him. To keep him from letting Scotti's anger crush him and stop him from doing something stupid.

Because he totally would have by now if Alice didn't tell him that Heimrich had a plan.

They were helping him. They didn't have to. They really didn't. But they were. The least he could do is humour them and eat something to keep himself distracted.

Vance composed himself, tucking that growing spark of anger away deep inside him for later. A deep breath in, and out. Not exactly zen, but stable. "Yeah sure, I'd rather worry on a full stomach.." He says with an amused exhale of breathe through his nose. "... I hope you don't expect me to cook, I'm pretty much the more handsome twin of a spoilt noble. The only thing he could make was drawings, and I was good at gaslighting."
