Vax's mock-offendedness was met with only an unimpressed look. Honey, please, that look said.

"So they do have a castle. Are we ruled by a king and queen, then?" he asked. Gilmore, after all, had experience dealing with rulers. He didn't think he'd find anything in the castle that Vax didn't, nor did he assume they'd be interested in some random newcomer, but at this point, everything was information that might be valuable later.
