There's a glint in Linus' eyes at Theo's words. He slowly focuses his attention on Theo. No one knows what he's thinking.
"Oh my god, Thea! Thank God you're safe!" Completely oblivious to the sudden tension, Claudia reacts to Theo's casual remark. Then she turns to him, eyes wide with genuine concern. "I can't imagine going through what you went through."
She looks solemn for a moment, then brightens. "But tell me about the dungeon. I've never been to one and I don't plan on entering one, but I'm curious what it's like in there. The documentaries I watched are all about the haelions, Heartstones, mining, and stuff. Maybe you noticed something different?"

Theo looks like he's thinking.
Arthur's eyes never leave him. He's ready to step in, to deflect questions Theo doesn't feel like answering. But something in his heart tells him that right now, Theo doesn't need his help.
