After hearing the old man's statements, Silas climbed out of the tree. Still quite distrustful of the people gathered, he tries to make it onto the boat without anyone looking, jumping on to the boat from the shore. He quickly finds a spot where he thought he was safe and still be able to watch the other people climb on board. As he watches the people, he catches a glint of sun out of the corner of his eye. Turning his head, he sees the leg of a girl that is unnaturally shiny, and Silas was filled with an overwhelming desire to leap to the source of the refracted light. Throwing caution to the wind, Silas leaps from the shadows, landing on the shiny leg, and marveling at how clean it is and how well he can see his own reflection on the curved surface.
