If Lemm's fussing, they can fuss somewhat in return and he can't get too upset about it. They duck into the frame so they can write a hasty question:

I can ride with you to the City. if you like? They don't know he came in that way. They haven't thought about it, and still perhaps wouldn't have expected he did, but it is the fastest way back anyway. He dislikes it, and the stop can be on their way, so they lose little by offering.

They nod a few times anyway, whether or not he chooses that. Expectations aren't high, but they hope they can visit before long.
