Greenhorn wiggles about in the ways Lemm nudges, offering their scraggly limbs for him to look over. There's not anything new to see now, but it'd nice to let him know he doesn't need to be concerned either. No bites or cracks or melting!

Finally, the Knight drags their body back up onto land. They're somewhat less irritable from the time spent to sort out their feelings, and heartily helped by Greenhorn's cheer seeping through despite themselves.

They write out a note in advance before they amble back and hand the paper over, completely ignorant how they reek from being directly atop acid for a while.

It looks like that way is a dead end without acid resistance, which I'll assume you're unequipped with. I could possibly dig through it in a larger form, but I'm not sure if that's worth the risk of destabilizing tunnels or luring other Goam.
-Goam weren't smart enough to ambush or give chase while Infected. It would make sense that survivors are. I was angry about the surprise and that I hadn't thought of it.

My apologies.

Greenhorn doesn't read it, but the Knight offers apology to them as well, which they accept without thinking on it too hard. They're enjoying poking the cloak's ruff now.
