"Okay, I get the gist of it," I muttered, rubbing my temples as Zenith finished her explanation.

"So, we're here in the royal palace," she concluded, glancing around the guest hall with mild curiosity. "Pasithea said it's the safest place in Tamriel."

'Is it though?'

I wondered, my gaze shifting to Pasithea, who was seated on the adjacent sofa beside Heather.
