Though there is a brief smile from Emet-Selch to see that his snap has had the desired effect, both in forcing flight and causing Elidibus to burn what power he had left in the effort, he offers nothing more than that. Indeed, there is nothing but quiet patience as he waits for Elidibus to climb to his now-bound feet - addressing neither his sudden descent or the embarrassment he might well feel at having been forced to do so.

So too, is there mercy. He raises not a hand to Elidibus, to either harm nor help, and when Elidibus has finally risen to his feet, he simply offers a nod in return.

The return journey to their shared apartment is, by its nature, slow. The bindings on Elidibus' feet allow him only minimal movement and even were it otherwise, Emet-Selch cannot imagine that either of them are much in state to be inclined to run. But it is, at least, uneventful. No further predators make to attack, and whatever urges that have been driving Emet-Selch's actions seem to have quieted, with his 'prey' thus captured. Enough so that he doesn't speak again until the door of their apartment closes behind him.

"We shall, of course, need to ensure that you remain safe until such time as more permanent solution can be found."

Still, he does loosen the binding on Elidibus' arms and legs. They're not gone, not yet. But it's enough to suggest that he is more willing to allow Elidibus some freedom while he considers options. Even if it is because he happens to be standing between Elidibus and the door just at the moment.
