As it stands he takes the hint and just does a lot of hovering as they write, and for a while after. Most of this information was lost to this age, and the context he lacks is... vast, but also more and more ominously pressing in the more they tell him. He's a little crowded by the things he doesn't know. It's an intense feeling. Some might find it overwhelming.
It is exactly why Relic Seeker Lemm was drawn to Hallownest. He considers the bulk of it and runs a hand through his beard. The other rests itself thoughtfully on the till, thumb brushing the buttons while he works through the information.
His finger strays towards Radiance, light, higher being and tracks slowly down to Infection.Void and empty and hollow and whatever else are all the kinds of things different historical dialects might interpret the same, and a casual reader might read the same at first glance, but he is not a casual reader. Lemm's finger strays to the word 'vessel' next as he works with that one for a bit. Still could be more of the same. Then he stops, falters, and his finger goes to follow offspring and eggs instead. He thinks a bit longer.
