Between the paladin's panicked dismissal, and the halfling's stinging question, Lamont found himself a little stuck in disbelief as the group began moving closer to land. "Y-yeah...uh...Amaya...was away on another job...And our mom...basically kicked me out so I could do this job..." He was basically mumbling this to Korick's back, as he was already far off the pier. His hesitant rebuttal was dripping with disappointment. Sheeva, meanwhile, kept an hawkeyed glare on the knight practically running from the docks. 

"SCREEEEAW! (_That man was clearly not alive! How did you not smell that?!_)" She screeched, breaking Lammy from his lamenting. "I caught the smell, I just didn't think...I mean, he wasn't lunging for anyone's throats...I figured maybe he had fought some zombies before meeting us!" He sheepishly replied as he made his trudge of shame back to the shore. 

Seemed Sheeva wasn't just being paranoid, as Lammy could overhear the female knight expressing her own suspicions about the fellow. "Y'think so? Sheev said the guy might be an undead. But that can't be right...can it?" He queried, his expression equal parts unsure and uneasy.
