Unfortunately, he does, more seriously than Lambert even knows. He'll never be able to say 'thank you', but this is, at least, one debt he doesn't plan on minding. If he'd been left in that bush, the other three crows would have eventually come after him. It might have been the end right there and then and not even in a way Lambert can imagine.

Death would be the good outcome of that, it's safe to say. Maybe someday he'll tell him that, but that's a very slim maybe.

In any case, he does make a disgruntled sound at being told he's not nearly cute enough — rude! True, but rude! — but that'll be it. Just as before, the crow won't fight being lifted and tucked away in the bag. If he's made it this far in one piece, now isn't the time to start misjudging this guy.
