Regardless, Lemm chooses the correct action. They're held tighter. He's quiet rather than continuing to speak things that feel trite, no matter his intentions.
No, in their place he may have done something similar, or worse. He can snap. He pushes others away. Except, now, for them.
He trusts them. He cares for them still. After this, they nearly feel they've tricked him.
...but they haven't. They'd won him over. Somehow, by being the Knight, and didn't chase him off as the Shadelord, even at the start.
And they can't do to him what they did to Myla, or those Fools. They can't, and wouldn't. They won't to anyone, now that they're aware.
Perhaps his words weren't so trite.
They still deeply regret losing their head. They're...tired. They continue being uncertain, though some of the worst of the fears abate and settle with the presence of a friend, holding them close. Letting them close.
They'll stay in his arms for a long while before they finally shift.
