He'd been in such a good mood! It's not - fair. How quickly that changed. He'd have liked to give them that side of him, not this one.

When the glyphs come together and he gets an unpleasant pang of guilt, Lemm lets go of the hatstand to firmly wave off their pseudo-chatter.

"Stop! Stop it, that's ridiculous, I'm fine! You're -"

Stop. His hands tighten around the objects he's holding onto. They don't want to talk about it.

Well - tough. He does. If they're going to call him important and friend and keep pushing then - then he damn well gets to ask!

"Are you -" not in that tone, though "- I'm - you're - urgh, dense, is what you are -"

Not like that either. Lemm reaches for something to steady himself and for most of his life he struggles to find it, but lately he finds plenty.

He stares at the ground and valiantly manages to actually think before he explodes.

"You drop a bombshell like that and then you don't tell me, what do you think I'm supposed to -?" nope. "Tell me how you're doing, Knight! For goodness' sake!" A pause. "Tell me if you're - alright, or not alright, or." He gestures, wildly and helplessly, with the crowbar. He's out of words that aren't unpleasant.
