"I don't think it's wise that you be here," Vaan was saying, walking the halls of the Vermillion Palace of the Emperor of Solaris.
Zariel stepped on as if he hadn't heard. Vaan was as bad as Zero when it came to his ability to feel anxiety. However, in his case, when he was anxious, unlike Zero, who did well under extreme pressure, Vaan made massive mistakes in terms of decision-making. He was the worst person to listen to outside an actual battle.
Zariel merely shot him a glance. His anxiety could only mean the three Dragons of Bahumat were within the palace. "You inscribed the bloody teleportation rune. Did you think I wouldn't scout the region?"
A pained look flashed across his face. "I didn't think you'd walk into the bloody lion's den."
