Seeing the Knight react like that is a big tell. He doesn't need to explain what he means. They know. Obviously.
Lemm is still a little unsteady - in a way that perhaps the Knight would recognise if they were privy to this. He holds it together quite well, straying his other hand over the blade now, just... tracing. Admiring the craftsmanship, maybe, or else just anchoring himself.
"We weren't close and I doubt I cross his mind. But I'm glad you told me." There's none of the usual Lemm-like clip to that. It just is. "Anyway, I can scarcely believe this is the same shabby Nail that came wandering in with you that first time. I may not have thought much of his goal, but this really is a thing to behold."
He stops just short of trying to bargain. Lemm is already aware that's a non-starter.

"Been with you a while, has it?"
