The silence stretched between them, thick and tense, as Brutrumukk stared Jub down, waiting for a response. Jub however, remained silent. The goblin's mouth opening briefly before closing again, as if words had escaped him entirely. After a few more moments of awkward stillness, Brutrumukk gave a small, triumphant nod, taking Jub’s silence as a clear sign of concession. With a satisfied grin, the [s]bugbear[/s] gnome turned on his heel, leaving the goblin behind without a second thought. His focus shifted to Aaliyah and without hesitation he set off after her, prepared to follow her lead to wherever she intended to go.
