The entire ride to Woster County could be summarized in two apparent situations: interrogative, and quiet.
The interrogative situation happened everytime Iliana had something to ask Danzel, and the quiet situation happened when she was out of question.
Danzel could normally chat with Clarissa, but she was exceptionally quiet for the entire ride.
Thus, whenever Iliana stopped asking him questions, Danzel could only keep quiet or watch every trees the carriage passed through the window.
Still, it didn't mean he was eager to talk because he had nothing to do; he wanted to distract his mind with a talk. It was occupied with the thought of Basil.
He knew Basil was still alive, but Basil's sudden instruction to head to Randalvine bothered him; he didn't even know what was currently happening to Basil in the Dungeon.
