[She barely even realizes that was a date, and sadly doesn't know Grimm's involvement.]
I'm not sure but Hollow Knight is still figuring out a lot of very important things about themselves. I feel like dumping such serious feelings on them right now wouldn't be very considerate and might even make them feel pressured?
[Even more than rejection Lobco fears Hollow Knight deciding to be in a relationship with her purely to spare her feelings or out of a sense of obligation.]
Perhaps I'm not giving them enough credit but...I just really, really want to avoid that scenario.
[She's not sure how to feel about that statement. She's glad he thinks as much but she thinks Grimm is giving her entirely too much credit.]
I'll continue to think about it then...are there any particular traditions or methods to express affection in Hallownest that I should know of? Anything I definitely shouldn't do?

Have you told them such?

No. I haven't. I'm still not sure for certain. I've only felt like this once before... [And that ended awfully.]
And. I don't know if it's the best time?

But I do not believe that you could pressure anyone, even if you tried.

The subject of their father is still a touchy one. I would not breach it.

Thank you, Grimm.
