Lemm's impromptu lecture on the mechanisation of Hallownest's thoroughfares uncertainly slows and gets halting, then stops altogether when the Knight tucks her in and there's no response.

He stares, just to be sure.

Before the Knight is done over there, his head falls into his hands and he heaves a quiet, haggard sigh. He forces himself to pull out of it as they get themselves seated, and folds his hands in front of his face.

"Thanks," he half-murmurs. He's read their message, but this doesn't seem like it was in response to that.
