If their writing pauses for a split-second between words when Lemm's hand settles on their head, well. They're still fast. It wasn't long enough to be noticed.

They consider his question for a little while. They were going to add it in common, but then it would be easier for anyone to tell what it is. The Knight doesn't expect defacement, not after there was still so much work done to create it from possible mantids from the Village who could care enough to visit, and the tunnel's danger should yet be too much for any surviving Traitors.

That doesn't make it impossible. Many things in Hallownest are coming to change. They'd rather not discover such a problem too late.

Please. I believe Ze'mer's language would be most fitting, and difficult for others to understand enough to disrespect.
