The cushion is close, but not right where they're standing, so they land on the counter itself instead with a soft thump.
Lemm's dismissive words don't fool them. Even if he only did wish to get rid of it all, he could easily have shoved them to another part of the building, or shoved into a canal. But...he didn't.
Their mask turns towards the clutter that he saw and instead thought of the Knight. He thought of them enough to hunt some of it down, because those pillows along with the hat rack certainly hadn't been anywhere in their previous visits.
They haven't been offered many gifts before. Their house, yes, that, which even now leaves them reeling when they have a moment to dwell. But otherwise...what had they gotten that wasn't intended for another's use, for furthering another's plans, or plucked up by their own paws rather than simply given?
