VVVAGUELY. technically yes!? like he realizes his place in the rankings... but also since Absinthe has a clear Most Important Person and that person is here Lark kind of expects that he doesn't actually need anyone else and would be okay with throwing anyone else away. NOT THAT HE'D DO IT HAPPILY, BUT HE'D STILL... BE WILLING TO. to him the distinction between "want" and "need" is really huge and meaningful and he doesn't think Absinthe has any real "need" of him, which is a large part of the. terror thing! WANTING ISN'T ENOUGH

so in part he is underestimating his importance but really it is more that he is overestimating Gil's importance
