The Void pulls back a little faster. The Knight forces it. It would cling otherwise, wrap around his legs and beard and all until he was dragged in. To where the Radiance was erased, as some Siblings would not mind, or to be hidden away in a pocket next to the Godseekers, as others--as Greenhorn and they selfishly wouldn't mind.
Come back, again, again. They keep coming back. Lemm was a rare living being who wanted so little at the start. He wants to help them now, he says, deeper than asking them to fetch relics and words.
...Nobody else would have been coming back, would they? Lemm met Cornifer only once. Quirrel had his own mission. Others...everyone else would have been dead walking, even if they hadn't realized it yet. It's only now they give consideration to how few he must've seen return.
Less than Elderbug had, in the end.
The silhouette of the Knight stands there. They can't be open. They don't have the face for it, the gestures. Shade Wings wrap tight around something almost like their body.
