"Not exactly," Lambert makes a face just remembering it. Of all the stupid things to happen to him here...
"He didn't like what we did to Ignatius, threatened to quit the Nightrunners over it. I told him I wanted him off anyway." Childermass probably needs no elaboration to imagine exactly how well that conversation went, meaning not well at all. Lambert gestures vaguely with the spoon.
"Then he said that the reason I didn't want him to get into anything was obviously because I was in love with him."
Honestly, that level of obliviousness is incredible. Maybe they should look into weaponizing it against the fae, like if Jonathan Strange decides not to notice something, it might simply cease to exist.
