This gave Lem pause, but he ultimately approved since he knew Tress must have considered all other options.{{book ref\|tress\|6}} Lem played a key role in Tress's escape from Diggen's Point. He visited an inn and talked to a few of his friends that he'd helped in the past. Lem had walked [[Rod (Lumar)\|Rod]] home after a night of heavy drinking, he helped [[Jule]] repair his roof after a windstorm, and there were dozens of other examples of Lem's selflessness. The townspeople knew that Lem never asked for a debt to be repaid, and therefore his desire to help Tress must be extraordinary. Even though he did not explicitly ask for help, his message was understood, and [[Gremmy]], [[Sor]], [[Gret]], and [[Brick]] all agreed to help with the plan to infiltrate the ''[[Oot's Dream]]''.{{book ref\|totes\|7}} Tress sent her family letters during her journey, but her parents were still uncertain if they would see her again until she arrived back at Diggen's Point.

Once [[Rod]] was drunk that Lem walked him home, and another [[Jule]] lost his roof during a windstorm, and Lem helped him repair it. There were dozen other incedents that Lem one way or another helped them with. While Lem usually never asks for a debt to be repaid, helping Tress was so important to him that he hinted to them that he needs their help. They all agreed to help him with his plan.{{book ref\|totes\|7}} He is very good at playing darts.{{book ref\|totes\|7}} ===Tress=== He loves Tress and puts a large amount of faith in her judgment since he knows she is very intelligent and thoughtful.{{book ref\|tress\|5}}{{book ref\|tress\|6}} He has had a longstanding feeling that she is destined for great things beyond their island.{{book ref\|tress\|6}} Tress loves Lem and greatly respects his opinions and advice.{{book ref\|tress\|2}}{{book ref\|tress\|6}} ===Ulba=== ▲Lem and Ulba join Tress on the ''[[Two Cups]]'' following the king's declaration that the citizens of Diggen's Point are permitted to leave.{{book ref\|tress\|epilogue}} Lem and Ulba have a close relationship and spend most of their time together at home, usually knitting socks to make money.{{book ref\|totes\|4}} They both love their children and have a similar parenting style.
