Lemm mistakes compliance for encouragement, not that it changes his decision either way. Whatever the nuance, they don't seem to reject the offer, and that's something.
He is careful not to stare, but he's stubborn enough to stay for a long while, if need be.
The problem is that he's not privy to any of the goings-on around the Hollow Knight beyond what the Knight told him - a while ago, now, and realistically anything could have changed. All he knows is they should be in Deepnest's care, and even that might be outdated information. Maybe the Hollow Knight heals fast, like the Knight. It would stand to reason.
...It's just the way they're huddled in the rain in a soaking wet robe that makes him doubt it, somehow. It doesn't look like they're going anywhere or running an errand of any kind. They're just here.
It's probably not his place to ask too many questions, with what he knows of Hallownest citizen etiquette - ah, but he'll have to nip that in the bud, because he's not a Hallownest citizen. And because even if this is the Hollow Knight, that era's over with. And because this is...
It's the sibling of a friend of his, and there might be something wrong.
Any lingering thoughts of following established historic social roles are set reluctantly but permanently aside. After a long silence, Lemm casts them a neutral look.
