Politics
Studying stole a good chunk of Khan's free time. The lack of political events or missions with the Thilku team helped, but Khan still had to juggle multiple tasks, inevitably leaving some aside to make room for the most pressing ones.
Ambassador Abores' notes had priority, and Khan continued his studies of the Thilku runes too. He couldn't neglect training either, so his team got the short end of the stick. Khan still ate with his companions when possible, but his initial plan of deepening his relationship with them vanished due to the recent developments.
That trend continued for two weeks, during which Khan and the Ambassador had little to no interactions. They understood how busy they were, so they didn't bother each other more than necessary. Still, something changed in the morning after the weekend.
