Laughing while crying is a marginal improvement over just crying, Lambert figures. He'll take it.
"Uh, I can say with complete sincerity I don't have any conflict about accepting a power that has a decent chance of keeping me and the people I care about from getting killed or kidnapped again," Lambert says sincerely, though, given what they just dug the Ringmaster out of, that statement is obviously a bit conditional. Probably best to move on before she can point that out.
"I'm not going to pretend I have any idea what it's like to be as old as you are, or what it's like to have your problems," he adds, quickly, ears and tail flicking slightly. "...But they must have been pretty bad. You don't kill who you used to be and forget everything for no reason, right?"
It's still weird, thinking of her as the Red Beast. She'll still be the Ringmaster to him no matter what.
