Relic Seeker Lemm keeps to himself for the time it takes them to finish. But he watches out of the corner of his eye as they reach for another relic. (And he knows that badge.)
When they've had a moment to renew their attention on a new task, he nonchalantly reaches across and slides the vase towards himself, rocking it on one edge of its base to turn it without scraping the counter, giving it a proper look-over.
The efforts they took are acknowledged, in the quiet way of someone unused to doing much acknowledgement for anyone he doesn't know. Which is to say he examines it for a long time, journal still cradled off in his other hand, and manages to get lost in thought again.
"You've the patience, alright," he mutters, not really addressed so much as floated vaguely into the quiet.
Lemm dares, after resting on the counter again and averting his eyes back to his reading, to do a little more chatting.
"Public service," he tells them of the badge, "likely something courageous, but just as possible to be for defending Hallownest from danger as it might be for something much more mundane. Never decided which possibility I liked best. Maybe we'll find out, if the tarnish lifts."
