While Angus and Jayna accompany Anna to eat, Aunt Extalia and Eric decide to rest in the hotel room. Since they need to wait for Mira's return before leaving the city, they take this free time to discuss their diplomatic mission with Nirvas.
Although Aunt Extalia didn't want to meddle with Eric's task, she still could give some advice based on her experience. Eric also learns many things and has become more mature during the past few weeks.
He has become more silent and observant than someone with a loose glib tongue. Aunt Extalia doesn't know if this development is good or bad, but she knows Eric is definitely better than before.
Being exposed to the true power like Angus and the others for the past week really affects Eric's mind and worldview.
