The Quintet had a delicious meal, and Joshua convinced them to try out the diner's specialty. Everyone had a pretty great time, with the more social members (namely just Alexander) trying to get the others to open up a little, with a tiny amount of success. Joshua also told some interesting stories, mainly him adventuring deep into the Silent Forest to defeat unimaginably disgusting and powerful beasts. He wanted to keep a momento of one, which actually nearly killed him.

Of course, since he killed anything that could be a 'Beast Progenitor' then or later on, there really should be very few, if any beasts in the Silent Forest, he mentions. Which obviously worries him if there really were two sickened creatures so relatively close to one another. In any case, he drops that subject relatively soon. He then asks if the party would disclose any other information on this 'Bandit', and what happened to his 'fire-sword' in detail, while leaving a check and getting up to leave.
