Is she not-asking-but-kind-of-asking him what a relic is? Lemm hates this question. Not because it's a silly one, by any stretch. It's just - if he's too specific, people don't use their heads about what to bring him. If he's not specific enough, he gets junk. And sometimes the line blurs, because Relic Seeking is... personal.

Good thing, then, that he's had a long time to form an answer.

"A relic's usually three things: old, rare, and storied. Usually a combination." But not always. This is implied. "The Knight's been bringing me Wanderer's Journals and Hallownest Seals, generally. Can't complain." He doesn't look at them, but he does tip his horn appreciatively in their direction. (They've brought him much more than those two things, and can't complain is far from it. Not fair to put such unrealistic expectations on a stranger though.) "A Relic Seeker's a picky beast! Try me."

Fine company. Right. Well, she's been both, not that he's bold enough to say so.

Though Myla also seems... naive. This might pose a problem. Only fair to warn her.

"If you run into a high-shelled bug with glasses, don't give her a single Geo. We're a hard lot down there."

Lemm rises from his seat and strokes down his beard, and goes to retrieve his things.
