He's still, lets them circle. Memorises the horns, at least. This is a being (many beings?) of many particulates and he doesn't understand so what can you do? He memorises the prongs. In case they appear again. In case this isn't random, isn't just random aggregation of dark mess that has no pattern - which it very well could be, he knows so little, the patterns he's seen could be tricking him. But he's a bug.
He's a living, breathing bug, is the thing. He's seen children, even if he was never the type to interact. He's awkward, removed, no interest, no investment, but he knows what children look like.
No need to bow back, he reminds himself. No need to bow to anyone. He's never wanted anything but artifacts and prestige. Best it stays that way.
The moment the Relic Seeker's shop is empty, Lemm's head crashes into his hands and he stays there, processing.
