"I speak truth, nothing more." He's no authority over her.
But fighting isn't needed here. Her thoughts align with his, somewhat, and she eyes the Hollow Knight, whose claws remaun clamped tight around the hilt of their Nail. She has the self-control to keep from attack, no matter what barbs the Relic Seeker might throw, but Hornet doesn't know if they know this.
"Yes." A sharp breath of air, cutting off before she can say more.

She can't. Not now. Deepnest has the binding materials to work on any wounds they may or may not have. Her mother wants them back. She does not trust the Relic Seeker as far as she could throw a building to take care of her sibling alone.
Her Needle is tucked against her back. "I'm sorry," she says quietly. Unless half-deaf, Lemm must hear her, so she doesn't continue. There's a significant list she hasn't thought to tell them.
