Now they're on a similar page. Lemm was wanting an apology and he gets - he gets thanks? That's a little too far in the opposite direction and it catches him by surprise. Whether she means it or not he doesn't know, but the fact she opted to say it means enough for how this interaction can go.
Standoffishness rather cleanly smoothed over, Lemm uncrosses his arms. She gets a very small head-shake in response.
He listens to her address the Hollow Knight, aware this is solely something between her and them and Herrah. But it's interesting to see he is not the only one who does not receive a clear response without asking for one.
When he judges it's been long enough to speak without risk of interrupting anything from the Hollow Knight, Lemm is far less prickly than before.
"I found them out in the rain and invited them indoors," he finally offers, to properly fill Hornet in. "They've been here of their own volition. And they've been polite company, as rarely as I keep any."
He steels himself, just in case.
"If I've made myself any trouble with Deepnest I hope you'll tell me now, Hornet. But I'll not involve this one or their sibling."
