    Summary

    “Would that you had hatched a whole bug, you would have been an excellent heir. Dutiful, loyal, strong. Hallownest is blessed for your presence and sacrifice.” The Pale King pauses. His voice remains steady and calm. “I grieve the circumstances of your hatching, but not your existence. You have brought me nothing but pride and will do a great service for your kingdom.”

    On the day of the vessel's sealing, it receives an unexpected kindness from its King.

    No matter how many times I see Pale King interacting with the Hollow Knight, it always wreaks me anew.

    Summary

    Of all the gifts her father had given her: an eternal life, a gilded childhood, existence and mind; Hornet welcomed only the affinity for mechanics.

    There was a joy in losing oneself to the puzzle of creating. To forget one’s fears and struggles and, for one shining moment, be focused entirely on the twist and fold of metal was a balm to the centuries of Hornet’s existence.

    Even now, in Pharloom at the end of the world, Hornet created. Perched upon a bench within the Citadel, hidden well away from the void roaming the Citadel in search of something living or Pale to consume, she spun Silk and shards together into the form of her faithful cogflies.

    Or: the Second Sentinel needs repair. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

    What if Hornet and Sentinel were just...
    Just a Machine and Mechanic.
    Just a Princess and Knight.
    Just Cog and Silk.
    Nothing closer than friends

    Summary

    "It could be filthy work, what she did. All the more so when done perfectly. As she did. Such a shame that her grand mother had such little patience for the spoils of these efforts, had never had to fully appreciate them the way Lace did."
