How much has this place gotten to him that he's been so distracted from that rather salient point?
"I- look, honestly, I don't know how much this place has to do with the King at all. There's something here, I-I'm sure of it, but-" and he huffs, with an obvious (familiar) air of frustration. "Look, it's- practically impossible for anyone to investigate anything here, there's intense censorship, we are under constant surveillance - if there are any locals within earshot of us, we can't assume that they won't report back to whoever is truly in charge here and get us-"
He swallows tightly, lips pressed for a moment. "Get us kidnapped out of our beds and fucking tortured."
