As soon as they're gone Lemm halts his map work and tidies up their notes. Well, after some leafing through and lingering over certain parts of their account - the darker parts need reviewing, and he's starting to resent the idea of going back over them while the Knight is in the room.
He lingers over the conversational parts too, though this he catches himself at and quickly shakes his head, taps the pages into a neat pile and sets everything to one side.
The map comes together slowly, but it's not particularly difficult to make the copy he wants. Mostly it's just something to do with his hands. This suits Lemm just fine. He is discovering that he has a lot to think about.
The Abyss, for example. After he runs his pen down the long, vertical lines of the pit, he double-checks the scale against the Knight's copy. And then he slides his ruler up, and measures the Watcher's Spire. It's taller, but not by much. He rises from his seat.
With a long, calculating look out of the window with the Knight's map in his hands and the ruler held to the page, Lemm makes a vitally important estimation.
