As quickly as it started, it's over.

The Knight slides down, unwinds tendrils from stalactites they don't recall wrapping them around to land heavily back on the natural platform below. The urge to chase is still there. Primarily from anger, alongside a tiny edge of getting it properly for the Hunter's Journal, which somehow irritates them further. They already have that.

They quash it. They have a job to do, people to protect, and they need to make sure it's been done.

It's not hard to find them; there are only so many places for someone Lemm-sized to hide nearby, even without the mindless waves of distress Greenhorn is sending.

They're so so scared but they're not alone, so they haven't fully dissolved into nothing like they could have. For the best, because if they disappear here, they don't know if they'll be able to come back right even if Strongest Sibling would be sure to save them.

The Knight hops and walks over, pausing once on the way.

When they make it there, they look over Lemm and Greenhorn to make sure they haven't been terribly injured, and carefully don't act on their urge to shove what they're holding forward. They gently hold the magnifying glass forward, dropped in the skirmish, with the metal edge around it bent just a little.
