She is not here for him. She is here for the Hollow Knight. From Deepnest, alright then. Lemm changes his mind about wanting to draw her attention just in time for her to look right at him.
He's still tense, but less aggressively so. Lemm breaks eye contact just once, to look at the Hollow Knight, and then straightens his stance into a bit less flustered and challenging. A bit.
He gives a light, back-of-the-hand pat to the most convenient part of the Hollow Knight, which happens to be their leg.

Lemm is no friendlier, but she is not aiming a sharp point at him any more, and he knows enough now to dial it back.
