Degnar shrugged in response to Milo's question. "You could say I was here for about a year," he replied to the Shadowsoul, drinking some of the punch he had served himself. "I went into hiding after the attack on the Four Seasons." The Darkling paused after saying those words, realizing that some context would be necessary.
"It used to be the place where the Freehold gathered, until it was destroyed," he explained to Milo and the others. Degnar did not want to get into the details of the whole thing, since he lacked some of the knowledge, and well...it wasn't exactly a pleasant topic anyway. "This Freehold has had its fair share of problems in the past, but nothing that its members have not managed to overcome in one way or another." Perhaps his words would be somewhat reassuring? Perhaps not. These were new arrivals after all.
"I know the city quite well," he said, turning towards Lucy. "So...if you are lost in that regards, I could show you around a bit." The Tunnelgrub figured that was the polite thing to do, since she was new, and of Winter.
