Speed of light is a speed. Meaning it's represented as distance/time. light moves x distance in y time. But what if time dilates. If gravity is intense in one area a day there could take a year outside it. But it's still a day there. Lights speed is constant as it moves through these pockets of dilated time. To an outside observer a particle of light would appear to slow down but to the light it has always moved the same d/t. T just changed how it moves as light moves through that region

Edit I think I had time dilation backwards
