Dinner involved the whole family, along with the three stars.

They were all seated at a long, gleaming table with Avalon at the head. The clatter of utensils filled the room as everyone ate, and though no one spoke, many struggled to stifle their laughter as they watched Atticus and Sirius locked in an intense stare.

Unlike previous dinners, the atmosphere was more relaxed, mostly because Magnus wasn't present during this one. The other tier one paragons were in Sector 3, and he was expected to host them.

Atticus wore a small smile while Sirius maintained a serious expression. They both continued eating, but they never broke eye contact with one another.

"Are you ready for the day after tomorrow, At?" Anastasia finally broke the silence after everyone had finished eating.

"The day after tomorrow?" Atticus looked away from Sirius, turning his attention to Anastasia before asking. His confusion was evident.
