Keeping hunched in the shop and then elevator for a little while is no worse than being locked in seals and chains. They drag their body up properly with only a brief few moments of struggling with their nail, though they stop dead when the edge of their horn clips against Lemm's umbrella.
Inexplicably, the water falling outside seems louder.
--They cannot go to the Resting Grounds unmoving.
They jerk back to life, and in standing, find a tingling weakness in their arm that often persists in their legs even when they lack pain. A subtler type of this sensation is creeping through the rest of their form.
Yet it is not a burn, agony, or the sensation of foreign fluid. The Hollow Knight will endure.
They pause until he is out of the elevator to follow behind him, just a little further back than the last excursion.
...They will pass the Fountain on the way to the Resting Grounds.
Chilly emptiness sinks in their chest, unrelated to the wound, or the fact they are a Vessel.
They give no sign of discomfort; Lemm's direction supersedes their unnecessary desires to do or not do something.
