Keltham will stride about as fast as he can without running as soon as anybody tells him. He'll slow down before he gets to his bedroom.
It has been impressed on Keltham with a few smiling but rather stern words from Aspexia Rugatonn that it is his place now to hug Carissa, not pester her about anything she doesn't seem to want to talk about, and in particular not to demand lots of reassurances about how fine she is or ask for lots of details on how she isn't, until she seems to be fully her previous self. Yes, even if Carissa says otherwise and that he should do what he wants and pester her, Keltham is allowed to ignore her on this particular occasion though after that he should go back to believing her again. No Aspexia is not going to explain what axioms derive those conclusions, she's busy, ask Carissa a day or two later.
