After several hours of conversing and laughing, things began to wind down. Wally eventually expressed his plan to his room at the base of the tower after enjoying tea and spending time conversing with Kalivas.
It had been some time since he had spoken with the old man in such a calm manner.

Despite being in the dark regarding it, Kalivas and Wally worked together in the background to try and keep the boy's life as peaceful as possible.
