Lemm is not an idiot, and he's not going to have this... probably rather lopsided conversation around a series of conspicuous tunnelled holes right after seeing what came out of one. He turns the opposite way and trudges slowly to where the cavern narrows, and he stops by a wall. The ground's less churned up here. Hopefully that's a good sign, because he's also not stupid enough to wander all the way out of sight with someone else's family on his arm.
Lemm takes a deep breath, steels himself for the terrible job he's sure he's about to do, and lets his free hand come to rest lightly over Greenhorn in what he hopes is reassurance.
"Is that what you're fussing about, then." His tone is gentle, though not so much more than usual. Maybe the best he can do is try to convince them it's a non-issue. "A frightening thing like that happens and you're lingering on the small things. Pah! I'm not upset about a lens." He is. But the next part is true: "I'd be upset if that thing took a bite out of you, but it didn't and we're here to say so. Thanks to your Knight, no less."
