This time, Lemm doesn't watch. He knows he'd be too engrossed and there's other work for him to do in the meantime, so he goes back to his translation of the single journal on his desk, and they both sit in silence for a time.

The pile of notes grows; every word translated might crop up again in a different tense or form, and he likes to be prepared. Idioms in particular tend to toss everything into the air until he can work out their meaning, and he's just about cracked one when he realises it's been quite a while and the Hollow Knight is... still here, firstly, and just generally still.

Too still. He doesn't know what to make of that.

"Are you stuck?"
