At the sight of Monzun attempting to converse with Sweetheart, Lethys is thrown somewhere else. He keeps his grip on the present just fine, but there is an echo here. He focuses on their next words and stiffly responds.

"We are no match for you in a show of strength," he points out. "But we will rise to any challenge you set."

Laetes has pulled himself up to his feet and begun backing away and scrabbling at himself with an angry scoff. He saw Sweetheart gesturing, and it spooked him.
