Needless to say, the atmosphere around Stonefall became quite awkward for a while. Sophia had no idea how to talk to Kace after her outburst in his manor. Lilly did not understand what she had done wrong, and Kace just did not want to be dragged into anything.
Elderbeard tried several times to reach out, but Kace rejected every attempt. Sonia already understood that it would take time to mend their relationship, so she gave Kace the space he needed.
The only person outside of the Tu'Thrag that Kace was willing to spend time with was Shagrat. Kace and Shagrat had made peace after Kace apologised for his behaviour. For the past month, Kace had visited the goblin king regularly to vent his frustrations.
"We've finished the statue of Gyn that you requested, but you still haven't told me why you want such a thing?" Shagrat leaned back in his chair under the sunlight as he sipped on the wine he received from the Treants.
