Lemm's head instantly snaps back to look at her, expression suddenly studious rather than hostile. He knows that name, alright.
It is a good thing she spoke it before showing off her Needle again. He almost rises to it like before. But there is more nuance here than he thought.
"...Aye. But they answer well enough." Lemm is still guarded, because she's still pushing. But he can offer a small bridge to this gap, that does seem prudent. "Seems they were under the impression they'd no obligation to be anywhere."
He does not move from the Hollow Knight's side. Sister, and she cared for them, so says Hornet. The notes also say Vessel hunter. Yet the notes also seem to confirm her claim - Lemm is in a difficult spot.
...He might as well come clean to both of them. Seems like the only way to clear things up.
"I'm a friend of the Knight's," he declares finally. "The other one. You'd be hard pushed to find a bug in this ruin who isn't - but if there's one who wished harm on either of the two, it certainly wouldn't be me."
