"Yes, yes, the only Stag left running in the Kingdom of Hallownest and I've botched our one interaction already! Never again, I'm telling you. It isn't far to the lift and I am walking back."

Lemm sighs deeply and tries very hard to be honest. "I don't mean that, Knight. Just - walk with a disagreeable old Relic Seeker for a bit, would you? Let me think, first."
