--he isn't certain they are what they are, and this stymies their movement. They...there is nothing else they could be. Few bugs are as tall as they, none have a mask such as theirs, or a carapace that reflects only muted light.
This...they don't understand.
But understanding is not their place, and they have finally been given a task, not a question, made into order by offering a tool.
The Relic Seeker said previous not to touch the artifacts, and so they will not with their hand. They pluck up the cloth, wiggling it until it covers most of the tips of their claws.
They barely need to shift to be halfway across the shop in front of the correct shelf.
They cannot be...entirely certain, though the fact he believes a Hollow Knight would be is--is mistake.
With delicate touches, they get to work still.
...And finds they know somewhat more than they thought.
Lurien--they know the Watcher's works to some extent. They know the ranks of the guard that still tried to keep the City safe after She claimed them. (The Great and Heavy Sentries had many, but the Sentries capable of flight had more, despite increased fragility, as they could see from the heights to keep watch...)
It won't all be correct, but it will be close, by achievement.
