On the other side, when Theron came out of his apartment with Velric, he put Velric in the passenger seat, sat down in the car, and started to drive after buckling Velric's seatbelt.
As the car started to move, Velric was looking around and seemed to be enjoying himself.
That's why Theron even played a song, and Velric was vibing to it. Since Theron was there, he wasn't missing Silas yet.
"Daddy, where are we going?"
"We're going to where I work, technically. I'm sure you're gonna like it there."
"Are we going to the park?"
"No, I told you, we're going to... where I work."
"Do you work in the park then?"
Velric was still a kid in the end, so he had many questions, and he didn't understand many things.
It was hard for Theron to explain where they were going.
Even if he told him they were going to Dark Valley, the kid would just ask more questions. So he didn't say anything about Dark Valley.
