"...Good. Well, nor do I." Lemm gives a quiet half-laugh (nervous, but cheerful), fidgets with his bag, and does not elaborate. If his awkwardness doesn't clue them in to what he was really asking, they'll have to settle for it. A nod is good enough for him regardless.

He feels it's a companionable quiet as they work their way through the rest of the Grey Mansion, although Lemm occasionally pipes up with some remembered detail about Hallownest culture or an extrapolation of how Ze'mer might have spent her time. There are signs here and there that her earlier life was not spent in quite the same solitude as after her mantis lover was gone - sitting areas for more than just one, decoration that must have been gifted, more paintings of the Knights and the wider court.

Whether it's just for historical interest or not is not quite clear, but Lemm seems keen that her life be remembered.
