He returns with the bag neatly looped over his shoulders again. A part of him had complained at any insinuation that a Great Knight might make a mess of something. Worth it, to make the situation a bit lighter.
...The next suggestion is assessed carefully, and he schools the knee-jerk reaction of no I don't want to meet anyone so suddenly, because it is a habitual one and not to be trusted.

With their meeting with the Seer so fresh in his mind, and both of their little encounters with frustration just now, Lemm gives an uneasy hum and makes an executive decision.
"...Not now. Another time. If it's all the same." It is, by the sound of it. He doubts someone living in a place called the Ancestral Mound is going anywhere in a hurry. "Not feeling up to it." Very hard for him to admit, but it takes the responsbility off the Knight to decide the same thing. Anyway it's true.
That does leave the question of what to do next, though.
"I invited myself along, here," he realises, now, and immediately owns up to. "It's been - educational," he diverts from nice, "but you've no need to take me sightseeing. Our plans today didn't exactly come together as we expected." Let's keep things pleasantly vague, shall we. "Maybe you'd prefer a break from entertaining an overly-curious Relic Seeker."
For once he's not being self-deprecating, here - rather, he's just checking in. They really didn't seem like they were up for company when they'd originally run off, and maybe it's worth addressing that.
