Tommas and the others went back to Kingstown, while Mr. Lucas had things to attend to here and didn't leave yet, and Eason Chalmers also stayed.
Upon learning that Eason wasn't going back, Tommas and the others chivalrously offered to stay with him, though in reality, they were curious about why Eason was staying in Sea City.
Eason knew exactly what they were thinking and casually explained that he was avoiding Nathaniel King, which sent them on their way.
When Eason said this, it sounded very natural, so Tommas and the others didn't doubt him. However, Mr. Lucas was not so easily convinced.
