Lancelot can't help it; he looks at Magnus as if he's just a bit daft.

"It has happened. To them. That is their experience. They know it was me, and why would I disbelieve them? I know that somewhere within me is the capacity to treat them thus. They are entitled to feel as they do, and to choose how they engage with me, and I have no right to ask them to feel differently if they do not," he says all of this very patiently, deliberately. (He does not mention the guilt he feels, whenever he thinks of this. It's not about him.) "I am seeking to respect Galahad's experience. If he feels differently, as Sagramore has come to feel, he is welcome to let me know. But I'll demand nothing else from Galahad, aside from what he wishes to grant me."
