[Certainly the Pale King is not wrong. Grimm merrily ignored his godhood until it was needed, a flame that had gasoline poured on it when the Ritual called upon it.
But the Pale King embraced it, bent the concept into a sharp blade. Regular bugs immediately recognized him for a perfect God and Grimm himself had indeed recognized Wyrm for what he was when they first met. Radiant in his own way, a God in the small form of a bug who turned mindless creatures into a civilization.
The God of Free Will and Invention, a creator. One only had to look around to see all that he has created and shaped Hallownest with. A perfect machine that could create a perfect world.
But Grimm can see what he is missing, the metaphorical heart that seems to have no place in this perfect machine but was there regardless. Grimm has lived long enough and has had so many reincarnations that emotions were difficult to miss or ignore.
(It may be worth the costs but the insanity brought about is something the Nightmare King will not endure ever again.)
He finds a chair and pulls it nearby so he can sit and watch the Pale King work. It was interesting to watch but it also allows him to observe Wyrm's body language better.]
And you believe that ignoring the matter will not do more harm then good? It is unusual to see you express such things, so there must be something new rattling around in your mind.
[Perhaps not something new (his mind went everywhere and it was difficult to keep up some times.) but it was enough to arrest the Pale King's attention and that alone was worth poking at.]
