Besides, given her current situation, Cassie reckoned that in order for her to keep his sanity intact while he remained at Jace's lair, then it was a must for him to at least make an acquaintance or two and make do with their company in the meantime.
So as he would not have to understand and gather information about the place all by himself
But to Cassie's greatest surprise, when he tried to poke Varice on its side, his finger directly passed through it!
Like literally passed through as though Varice was made of water!
(0__0").... This is how Cassie's face looked like when he saw his own finger that he used to poke Varice.
Cassie looked back at the face of the young man and saw fear on the other party's eyes.
So this was the reason why Varice had been avoiding Cassie's touch all this time.
It was then that Cassie understood the reason why Varice had been evading him and backing away, whenever he tried to reach out for him.
