Faolan can't help but return the other man's smile, shaking his head in turn. "It's fine," he says. "I just. Probably shouldn't try to head back home like this." Which means of course that he'll probably have to borrow more of Lancelot's clothes. And maybe also spend the night while his own dry. Not that he really has a problem with that. Quite the opposite, in fact, but that's neither here nor there...

He makes sure that he's got a firm hold on Lily as he gives Lancelot's response a moment's thought. "They're not going to be happy," he says, "but you're right. I should tell them. As much as I can. They're not going to be happy no matter what I do, at least this way..." At least this way, he should hope to have some hope of winning back their trust.
