So small now, as the shade drags itself into shape. But still the Lord of Shades. Or rather the other way around.
There is a little shadow standing in front of him. They are the Lord of Shades, he can see that now. They can be both.
He steps closer, following the edge of the shadow as it recedes from around his feet.
Lemm does not drop to his knees, as much as they're threatening him with the prospect. Someone ought to be taller than them right now. Someone ought to be responsible.
"I'm sorry," he offers again, "that it's just me."
He'll let them run, if they must. But he won't. It isn't a risk. He has it in writing.
