The next morning signaled the end of the three-day event, and the invitees had begun gearing up to leave.
Xander and co, following Xavier and his daughters, moved through the palace, watching as some important people attempted to do some last minute networking and such, and Xander realized that things turned out much better than the possible alternatives.
At this point, he was already used to the stares people gave him. However, where there had been scorn, distaste, and hostility, there were now large amounts of interest and curiosity mixed in. It was a pretty high jump compared to yesterday where everyone still looked at him with cautious curiosity, and he couldn't help but wonder if Xavier had done something during the meeting they had the day prior.
The Archmage made no indication of such, though. But Xander wouldn't have been surprised.
