Alexander sensed the talks had turned the mood a bit heavy instead of the festive revelry promised with his return.
And he really did not know how to proceed.
And it was then Cambyses who came to his rescue, saying,
"Well not everything is doom and gloom you know. At least Juminus is still alive."
"We found him grievously injured but still breathing among a pile of the dead."
"He is currently being treated at the clinic."
"The doctors are hopeful."
And this one good news sounded heavenly to Alexander, for Juminus was a loyal man, so he enthusiastically replied, "Oh! That's good, that good."
And with that hook, Alexander began to ask each of his women how they had been, how they passed their days, and as the talks went on, food was eaten, wine drunk, and the atmosphere soon normalized.
It was in this way the dinner ended.
