"I don't know. But what I know is that your father has not led me astray until now, and I would follow him no matter what." Simon's response was simple and to the point, and Kothar internally sighed with relief, he didn't know what he would do if he found that Simon and Tam were at odds.
"Alright, I'll be sure to ask you some more questions, but I'm sure you're eager to know why I was trying to break into my own home." Kothar gave Simon a grin, diffusing the tense atmosphere that had developed in the room. Simon nodded in response.
"I was betrayed, when I returned to Trinquile, my mentor became greedy for something I had found by chance and sent me into a Spatial Rift. I only just returned to Eclat, after many months on other planes. He cannot know I have returned, otherwise he'd hunt me down immediately." Kothar decided not to beat around the bush, and told Simon about what had happened as succinctly as possible.
