"More complicated?" he prompts, leaning forward to set the bottle on the table and turning toward Faolan a little more. "You think it's more complicated this way? I'd think it the reverse. It'd be more complicated if we'd been through all this only to have to brush it aside."

That, in his opinion, would be complicated. To give in to something only to have to give it up and pretend nothing happened. Lancelot would probably manage it if he had to, Faolan is right in that, but he'd hardly be happy about it. Especially after holding back cautiously for so long.
