Ian was, from his point of view, trying to save Vel the embarrassment of getting his ass kicked by his own hostage, Rianne.

"You're wrong... Listen.. Let's not complicate matters more than necessary, okay?"
Ian tried to negotiate.
"Since it looks like you guys want to take someone hostage, how about me?
I'm one of the people with the highest importance and priority here, you know."
