Their claws stay wrapped around his longer than strictly necessary. How long a handshake is intended to last is something they never gave attention to; yanking away could catch and cut through his shell.
Releasing him, after another moment of staring, the Hollow Knight bows, claws now in a fist against their chest. Not as deeply as old urges point them to, as they recall the Relic Seeker's own discomfort.
The wordless dismissal is understood.
Nail taken once more, they turn to slowly head to the elevator.
There will be a few new scars in the floor marking the way.
