"What!! You're not returning home?!" Thrax exclaimed, his voice filled with a mixture of shock and annoyance. He couldn't believe Emery's decision to stay in the Magus realm instead of returning to Earth. His brows furrowed in disbelief as he tried to comprehend the reasons behind Emery's choice.
Emery took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before explaining his rationale. He emphasized the importance of taking the time to recover from his wounds and attending to the needs of his plant creatures.
Thrax listened intently to Emery's explanation, his initial shock slowly giving way to a growing understanding. However, despite his efforts to grasp the situation, he found it difficult to fully accept Emery's decision.
"I thought we were going to return together. Don't you want to see Klea? And who knows what that Roman has been up to in the last four years!" Thrax protested, his voice laced with concern and a hint of frustration.
