"No," Lemm concludes tentatively from their response.
He does not want to think the Hollow Knight had ill intent when they took a gravestone, and maybe that's bias talking, but they also don't seem like they have much intent at all.
He sighs. "They'll be wanting it back, then. I'll admit to buying a lot of clutter, but I won't pillage the Resting Grounds."
But they didn't break the thing; he's content with that at the very least. Lemm slides the geo for their other finds across the counter fair and square... and eyes the quill they're holding.
"Not that I'm interested, but I'm thinking you either don't talk or you can't. Makes no difference to me, and I don't care." Brusque, isn't he? "But if you're not going to be disappearing into the mists of time again too soon, you might want to practice some modern dialect. You were lucky to find me, but bugs who aren't tarsus-deep in the past won't be able to read any of that scrawl. Communication is important. Someone might think you're infected."

There's a very short pause.
"Not that it's any of my business."
