[ Even though the subject matter is serious, the Knight still seems to be amused at Grimm's reaction. All these little reactions, adding up...
They're very similar, in some ways. At his apology, they simply move their hand to pat at his shoulder. It's okay.
They're hardly going to judge, considering they've done the same themselves.
But upon seeing his reaction to the next question, that amusement is gone. It was obvious that Grimm clearly cared about where Brumm had gone.
And as for Brumm himself...
"But if you return to the Master and complete the Ritual... As long as you do it without regret, I will bear you no hatred."
They still wonder if they did the right thing, even knowing his words. But this is a simple question to answer, at least. ]
Was-not-forced. Went-far-away on-purpose.
[ They tilt their head, and after a moment: ]
He-cared-very-much.
[ It's a vague sort of addition, an artless observation. It clearly has something to do with the topic at hand, but the Knight is sort of torn between 'tell him because he wants to know' and 'don't tell him because he said he didn't want to'.
