For once the Knight taking a second to respond doesn't give him a spur of doubt, like it so often does, correctly or otherwise. It is within purview that they might simply not want to be bothered with a hug right now, and it's even more likely he just isn't being specific enough. Either is not an issue.

He doesn't have quite enough time to consider clarifying, because they come closer and lean in.

Lemm's arms wrap the Knight and pull them a bit more closely to him, and he gives a soft sigh out at the room.

It feels unfair to invite them into something that traps their writing hand and then come at them with another question, so Lemm manages to convince himself to stay peacably quiet for a time. That's all, until they decide it's enough.
