For him too it has been exhausting trying not to think it. But if there were ever a time to drag that word out of hiding he thinks it might be now, and luckily for both of them he is good at being blunt.

"I know exactly what you mean," he admits. "Frightening, I'll admit. Friends, though..."

His hands are trembling, and he wouldn't dream of shaking hands on anything like this if it was actually transactional, if it was anyone else. It would be bad form, show weakness, make him seem like someone frail to be pushed around.

Lemm does not care about that. He takes the Knight's paw with a distinct lack of hesitation, shakes on this, once, and does not let go. Not yet. Let him convince himself.

"To know we're... that I'm part of this will take some getting used to, but at least I understand it now. I think that makes me - happy, yes." He gives their paw a light squeeze, an accidental outlet for a frankly overwhelmed old bug with no experience to lean on. "I'll do my best for y- for us. To deserve it."
