Lemm doesn't know what's going on inside that mind, and he has no reason to think of asking. He's just thrilled to get a response. His heart skips a beat and he bats a hand lightly on his desk, about the most animated he's been.
"Ah-ha!" Easy, there. He clears his throat and quickly folds his hands together again. "Ah, what I meant to say is, I knew it. It's never a good thing to jump to conclusions as a Relic Seeker, but I was right."
He's giddy. Lemm has been wondering about that statue for... it feels like forever. In his excitement he's not picking up on the Hollow Knight's discomfort, not that he was ever very good at noticing subtleties.
"I've been puzzling together Hallownest's history as best I could, but there was always a very large piece missing. And here you are in the shell! Ah, but first things first." He leans forwards a little. "I'm loath to admit - aside from the memorial out there, I barely know a thing. Why don't we start with what you did to earn that plaque?"
Lemm slides a piece of parchment across, and then the ink and quill.
Some dubious part of him warns against getting too excited. This could be a misunderstanding, or they could be lying or delusional. Ugh, he hopes he'll be able to tell.

"Why does Hallownest still stand, Hollow Knight?"
