For a while he's happy enough to read sideways as he finishes off the last few pieces the Knight isn't handling themselves. But the more they reveal of the Great Knights' personal business, and the White Lady, and Ogrim, the more sharply focused he becomes. Eventually Lemm sets down the cloth and seems content just to read, quiet and attentive.
"It seems the court and Knights were tight-knit." Very much so in the case of the two still haunting the Waterways, if he's interpreting the Knight's words right. "Especially to live in the Queen's memories that way! The camaraderie between the Five must have been something to behold. I thought so, with them labelled as one unit like that, but hearing the details - it's more than I expected."
Twiddling a beetle piece in both hands, Lemm gazes off into the middle distance and goes over the facts in his head.
"Not your place to impress the truth on him, then? No, I suppose not." Lemm draws his attention back to the Knight. "It's a terribly awkward thing. If my courier were anyone else I'd have no fear of asking the important questions, but... I'll have to choose my words carefully, won't I?"
