[@floppydisksareop]

@@manxcatcoot No. They don't use any pronouns. They are genderless, however they also lack a personality (ideally), and the ability to think or feel. They literally don't give a shit. So if someone doesn't like butchering a language that highly depends on gender pronouns by referring to a character as an object, you could do everyone a favour and not get offended on a fictional mindless drone's behalf.

Hornet does reply. The first "hey" is the hollow knight, waving. The second "hey" is hornet, shaking her head. The "What" is hornet's reaction to seeing the hollow knight.
