He can't? [She was certain that he and the Wizard were able to watch all of them all the time - at least the Protector had been able to divide his attention between multiple screens to watch every Knight while talking to her and Luka. Was this place a blindspot? A really powerful illusion?] Why can't he? Not that I'm complaining, you can't imagine how stressful it is to know you're being watched all the time. I nearly tripped over my welcome mat this morning and I wanted the earth to fucking swallow me.

[She frowns, looking away when she calls the princess 'stupid'.] I don't think Luka's an idiot. He can be kind of a diva at times but I think he genuinely means well. Which is... rare, at least from what I'm used to. [She shrugs slightly.] I think anyone would want to trust someone whose voice they hear in their head, you know? [The alternative is... terrifying!

Her eyes land on Five again.] What do you think the Protector's actually trying to do then, if he's been lying?
