That's. Unusual. Seer remains still, searching them both - mostly the Knight - for anything else to go on.
"...Ahh..." she tries after a moment or two, uncertain.
Lemm gives a sidelong glance down at their empty page, and comes to the rescue.
"Just Knight," he offers, flagging a hand at her in a way that is decidedly too casual. "Or whatever you said before. I like to go with bothersome little nuisance when they're being difficult. Which is often."
Risky, to go that far, and it's possible it might not go down well with the Knight themselves. But it seems to have the intended effect on Seer - this is not how one talks about a Higher Being, any way you look at it, and she rallies as she realises what's being communicated.
"...Ah? What a curious case..." They don't want veneration, then? She has to grapple with a few things here, but she attempts to make a save. "Higher Being or not, I suppose we are all something different to every soul we meet." That sounds appropriately vague. Seer nods, carefully. "To me... Wielder is a title worthy of my respect to you, though hardly worthy of a god. Maybe I would be better sticking with that, hmm?"

It's tentative, but it's a compromise.
