You do have to cross the outdoors, since you’ve moved out to the new place. Squinting against daylight, you nod and greet ponies you pass as politely as you can. Your fast jog raises some eyebrows. You stop yourself when you reach the hallway that wraps around the throne room. No, you’re not going to the bureaucratic wing this time. Royal quarters are towards the back of the palace, up several floors, then down a short hall to the front. You almost pass out by the time you’ve sprinted up enough flights of stairs to get to the right floor, and have to stop to catch your breath. Just a little further.
