Making friends is not simple at all.
If a beggar wants to befriend a prince, it's highly likely the prince will feel insulted and order his guards to kill the beggar.
To become friends, there needs to be an equal relationship between people.
It's not about ignoring backgrounds, statuses, or other factors, but about having roughly the same "value."
If today a local gang leader gifts a pure gold baseball bat to the Attorney General, his likely fate is the electric chair.
It's not that the gift is bad, but that he did something he shouldn't and mustn't do!
If a lord doesn't accept your bribe, it's not because he's not greedy, but because you're not worthy!
Without considering Lance's other aspects, based solely on his identity and status, he's actually not fit to befriend a state's Attorney General.
But who gives them a mutual "friend" in Senator Cleveland?
