In this chapter, the two young men discuss the events of the previous chapter. The first is the battle, and the second is the encounter between the two men. The young men agree that the battle was a success, but they are still not sure what they should do next. They decide to divide up their questions and ask each other questions about the other's grandfather. The old man is dead, but the young men are sure that he is alive. The two men decide that they need to know more about their grandfather, and they decide to ask him about his father. The elder man is still alive, but he is not sure if he will live or die. He is sure that his father is alive, and he is certain that the younger man is alive as well.
