"If we tell him it is, he'll likely want to see for himself. Finding Hallownest the way it is with no warning may be a shock." He glances over at the window. "Then again, he might find out on his own eventually! I wonder where that'd leave us for keeping up the pretence? Urgh, I'm not going to worry about it. He's a Great Knight and he's survived the plague all these years, he's clearly made of strong stuff. I'll just try to stay ambiguous."

"Either way you've given me a lot to think about. It's fascinating that the Great Knights were apparently so close. I wouldn't be sure where to start, but you've put that Grey Mansion in my sights, so I should thank you for that, as well."
