He stands there uncomfortably as the two have their private conversation. At least something passes between them. He wouldn't deign to guess.

The paper is studied. The bag is almost shifted behind him, but... there are other things than light in there.

So he nods. Lemm does want to do this, after all.

"Fine. Here, then, little shadow." He gestures vaguely to indicate a kind of loose proximity. They don't seem aware of personal space - that'll have to be the first thing. "Keep your... self to yourself, and I'll show you."

He digs around in his bag, and after a moment Lemm produces a small array of tools: a broad paintbrush, coiled measuring tape, a small hammer - this one is put back after a belated thought and replaced with the tiny magnifying lens. Lemm holds them tightly, but in a way Greenhorn - and the Knight - can see.

"Now I don't want you touching anything if I'm not watching. Rare enough to find what you need and every Relic Seeker's got a different set." And he won't be bringing out the forceps or the pliers or the knife or anything, and sorry Greenhorn the bag is staying closed. "But mostly all I keep in here are tools for the job. It's not that interesting if you're not in the business of hunting relics. S'just hard to carry everything when you're not..." a glance at the Knight, curious "...able to tuck everything away somewhere." His attention returns to Greenhorn, monitoring closely.
