Unsurprisingly, after regaining his bearings from the words that left Thomas' mouth, Valyr went ahead and asked the three how they were able to amass so much material within the time he was away.
Being the one tasked to help Meria and Lucques find their footing in the world of Greater Beyond, it went without saying that Thomas was the one who answered the question.
Though, before he began his explanation, he first prefaced it by telling the young man that five days had passed since the latter left Greater Beyond.
Briefly doing a bit of math in his head as those words made him wonder how long slept, the young man soon pushed the thought to the side as his good friend went on quite the lengthy explanation of how the current situation came to be.
Mentioning how he tried to do what Valyr did for him in passing, Thomas explained that he brought the duo to a similar spot where the two of them grinded for XP back then.
