Their paw spasms when she kneels, nearly yanking back when they do interpret it as to the Lord of Shades--but they give it a moment, instinctively.
The Knight is struck by her words. It's agreement. Even as she doesn't seem to fully see them as they are, it's nearer than the start. It's something similar to what Lemm's said, and yet--and yet.
Their head sinks forward above their held hands, touched and grateful, while remembering that they hold exhaustion along with their new chance of lives. Siblings swim and swarm behind their mask, invisible and listening, not understanding the gravity but understanding how their Strongest Knight feels.
Their claws gently press into shell, and they bring their other one up to pat her, pat the both of them. Thank you.
