Lemm stares at the journal without reading it, as if he's just been handed a live aspid. He knows what's up there, more or less - the specifics have escaped him, or rather he's escaped the specifics. Lemm visited exactly one time and after two steps towards the entrance he learned a valuable lesson about curiosity killing the beetle and had no interest in returning, not for all the Hallownest lore in the world.
By the looks of it, he is holding a journal from well within the Sanctum. The Hollow Knight must be mighty indeed.
Lemm's business acumen kicks into hyperdrive. Setting the journal aside with no indication that it's worth its weight in pale ore, he turns to the next couple. Then to the scrolls - and my, but he should be using gloves for these.
"Two," he mutters under his breath, and his hand dances over the buttons on the antique register. "four, six hundred." For Soul Sanctum texts. And he's about to do worse for scripts so well-preserved. This might be blatant shortchanging, if he wasn't the only interested buyer in Hallownest. "And five for the set of silkworks. I'll pay one thousand one hundred geo for all of this." He gestures, and waits expectantly for a response.
