[Although Lance had briefly considered that whatever Akechi was thinking of might be something like this, and so he's not entirely surprised, he does have to resist the urge to sigh very dramatically. Why. Why is this the immediate choice of action.
But he also doesn't protest, because part of him is entirely fine with this idea; he isn't exceptionally worried about a confrontation, because even if this agent is aggressive--and even if they have a friend--neither Lance nor Akechi are exactly harmless and they're also very much in public. And depending on what Akechi's plan actually is, the direct method definitely has the potential to, at the very least, give them more idea of what they're actually dealing with.
So he does as asked, following Akechi, keeping a small amount of distance but staying close enough that they won't get separated and he can intervene if something happens. For now, he'll just let Akechi do whatever it is he has in mind.]
