Lemm is reluctant to explain. He's been spurred to think about a few things lately, and he's still not quite capable of articulating those thoughts even to himself. Still, he makes some small attempt:
"Used to be a lot harder to get from one place to another. Now there're open roads and Stag transport." He hasn't decided whether to be negative or positive about it yet. It just sits somewhere inconveniently in between, picking at him. "Dirtmouth's got a fair few residents now, according to you. Might be more inclined to wander with no gates in the way."
He almost keeps walking, even though he saw them stop, because these things are subtle and Lemm doesn't usually read subtlety well. But he is slowly getting used to the Knight's mannerisms, and maybe a bit fascinated by their freedom of movement, and so he's watching more closely than normal and he decides there's something off about seeing them falter here.
Lemm takes his own pause as the Knight starts moving again, and he studies the dilapidated minecart. Have you seen any-
"Knight," he calls, and hurries to catch up. "That... friend of yours. If you want to look for her - I'm not going to hold us rigidly to any schedule, as I've said." I just don't know that you'd like it if you found her. Best to put things like that out of mind.
