"All of it's impressive, even after it's decayed. It's just that a lot of it was rotten to begin with."

It is taken as a compliment. A good Relic Seeker knows nothing is totally unbiased. It's the bias that makes history interesting to pick apart, because sometimes what it actually is is perspective. Lemm enjoys the Knight's perspective as much as they (and Greenhorn) seem to enjoy his. (It is changing him to learn this.)

There is time, it's all he has right now, that and relics - but suddenly he wants to cram everything in as fast as possible. There's still a part of him expecting this to be over as quickly as it's begun.

He lets that feeling sit until he's able to keep it out of his decisions. He is an adult bug with some kind of measured reaction to things, thank you very much.

"I'll go whenever you're ready," he says, after a pause that goes on slightly too long. "I don't feel like my horns are being torn off me any more, at least."
