The first thing he sees through the open doors of the Dirtmouth station is a familiar bench with an equally familiar figure standing next to it.

Heavens help him, but he tries to sneak past.

"Ho, there!" (Lemm freezes in his tracks.) "Oh - do my eyes deceive me, or do I know those horns of yours, traveller?"

Reluctantly, Lemm turns around with all the stiffness of a creaky gate.

"We've met."

"The treasure hunter! My, but I'm surprised to see you up here again."

"As am I." Lemm recalls their meeting perfectly well. "Though not for the same reasons, I'd imagine."

"My warning was fair, but I meant it kindly. It was terribly unwise to go down there at the time, though it seems the worst has finally passed. Did you find trouble?"

Plenty. "I found what I was looking for. As I knew I would," he adds pointedly. Lemm is tense. Seeing Elderbug about to pry further, he holds up a hand to interrupt. "Now I'm looking for something else. Have you seen a small wanderer with symmetrical horns and a decorated Nail?"

Elderbug walks him to the door, to Lemm's mixed relief and dismay. On the way, Elderbug finds him unwilling to offer much in the way of proper responses, and switches to telling him things instead. He gets little in return there, either. Lemm doesn't have the patience; there is something much more important on his mind.

Curious (nosy, in Lemm's somewhat biased opinion), and perhaps feeling slightly protective, Elderbug would very much like to stay and be a part of whatever this exchange will be. But Relic Seeker Lemm stares at him with such hostile expectancy that he can do little else but leave the bug on the doorstep and retreat back to the middle of town.

Only when he's by himself again does Lemm tighten his resolve and knock on the door.
