Because they're not important enough to the crown and they aren't loyal, so they don't put much energy into helping them. They put their money into Hayle, into Borrel. Nott struggles.
[ That is the truth of what he's seen in Nott so far, and what they know about it. And the resentments they have toward the crown are absolutely legitimate. That being said, Istredd knows they don't have the power to help the Summoned, or do anything about the royalty themselves. They're too weak, something he and Lucifer have had to accept when talking about places to run to or support against the crown. Not helpful.
When they get into the Hare & Harrow he gestures for her to take a seat in a back corner with him. It's probably one of the nicer places in an otherwise seedy area, although he's not worried about trouble for either of them. Neither of them dress fancy or have much to steal on them.]
The royals are very suspicious, Adora. It wasn't that long ago they were interrogating Summoned in the castle. You can move out of the castle, there are actually places in the nearby city, if you don't mind looking for a job. But you could use people around you right now.
[ It's confusing because Thorne Castle is also a city, it's a castle and the nearby city is named the same thing. They all are within the walls. Istredd didn't want her to think there was literally no escape, but he also thinks that it might not be wise for her to pull away from the castle and everyone in it. She'd just be more alone than she is now, and he doesn't think that's for the best. She's told him enough about herself to think that way.]
I brought you here because you're someone who could use a distraction. Rhy and Kell have been trying to work on improving Nott and helping them. I wanted you to see it for yourself, so you can see why they need attention.
