The morning of the second day passed without incident, the Silverkins sharing another family meal that played out in a similar manner to those from the day before. The adults spoke amongst themselves while the young ones did the same, with neither of Alistar's other uncles appearing to take the slightest interest in him.
Daniel's boys no longer ignored him during conversation, though they still directed most of their comments and questions toward an increasingly exasperated Anice and Lessa. The former had confided in Alistar and sworn that the brothers had never shown her the slightest sign of good faith for as long as she had known them. She was positive that they were up to something, and claimed to get chills whenever their cousins would complement her or cater to her in any way.
