At this angle, one-handed the Knight can't write to respond, and they suddenly don't know what they might in the first place.
Maybe that they're glad they're both on the same page now, or closer than that. They're both aware--Lemm is better aware of his importance, the Knight is aware of his feeling a lack of it. That they both care. That they're both going to be clumsy and afraid on the way over it.
Not enough to hurt, not the desperate cling of being brought back from miserable grief or a temporary grab for leading through danger, their grip tightens in simple acknowledgement.
