Gemmes was immediately caught off guard by Leonel's interruption. He was asking for who the current Pavilion Head was, how dare Leonel treat him like this?
There wasn't a single fiber of his being that believed that all of this was done by Leonel. In fact, he was more inclined to believe that Clarence's mad plan had succeeded and he managed to enter the Life State.
He had seen Leonel in the Gathering of Minds, but the scope of these people's understanding was far too limited. They feared the other Races, but they didn't know to what extent they should fear them. To them, Leonel was just facing off against other members of the younger generation, wouldn't they be able to defeat them just the same?
And because they had escaped from the Dream Pavilion, they hadn't been able to watch the Challenge Sequence, so they had no idea what happened in this respect.
