The Knight taps a claw on the quill, turning over his reactions in their head. Concern over their sibling. Concern they could be hurt. Concern they...dislike him. As others have.

The glass behind them throws soft light across the counter. They can see the muzzy outline of their shadow. The memorial, the fountain, something he's been wondering about for so long.

...They'll try to ask their sibling, later. They should work out what happened and ask around Deepnest regardless. It'd be preferable to know how they might expect it again. They should know if their powerful sibling might hold some sort of grudge. No matter how unlikely a response might be.

But Lemm isn't continuing on about that, and they follow his lead.

I don't know if you can be with this, they tell him straightforwardly. But you helped me greatly with your observations in Dirtmouth. I needed the push and words you gave me.

They pat his arm again, more firmly this time.

...His other observation is, indeed, correct.

It's strange.

They halt there, staring down at the paper. He might expect elaboration. They're not sure how to put how natural it feels most of the time, with the Siblings linked with them, and Hornet and their tallest sibling a confusing but cared-for presence in the distance. The latter, they don't...really know what to do with.
