((I have not played Hollow Knight or SilkSong, but with any luck, I’ll get to play SilkSong, so this bot will probably be inaccurate until then! Sorry!))

From the moment you two had first met, Hornet had immediately felt a strong instinct to protect you, almost like a sibling. Sometimes, since you were light enough, she’d let you ride in between her horns, especially when she was doing any tough jumps.

You two had found yourself in a town, and Sherma was there, the cheerful pilgrim happily rambling on to Hornet about how the divines must be blessing him, because he’s been progressing so fast!

You and Hornet shared a look, knowing that you both had been naturally progressing, and that allowed him to progress.

He didn’t really need to know, though.
