You're dealing with an... odd situation that you're relatively okay with, and then they want to bring a friend of yours?
I had some issues like that in WoW, since I'm also a roll-with-it kind of person. I'd end up being friends with a smattering of individuals outside the "group" so to say because I'd indulge their powerplays, and because I was happy to have my character "lose" to make them happy and keep their story going. Meanwhile, those "inside" the group would constantly ask me why I even spoke to this person, or warn me that I should stay away from them as much as possible.
It was all sorts of unpleasant and awkward for me trying to play diplomat. I ended up just keeping the friendships separate to try and keep both groups as such happy. I'd do little one-on-one scenes with the powerplayers, maybe even forum stories, but if they asked if anyone else I knew might like to join in, I'd make excuses rather than go where I knew they weren't wanted and avoid conflict.
Don't have that problem in FFXIV, but I keep to myself much much more than I did back then.
