Luci stayed back in their temporary residence with Akida while Riaku and Syryn left to attend the lecture.
When they reached the amphitheatre, Riaku led the alchemist to two seats in the front row. Almost all of the seats had already been filled in when the duo arrived. The avians respectfully allowed them to pass through and made no trouble for the non-avian attending the lecture. Syryn though was the recipient of many curious stares since his presence was unexpected. His youth and ethereal good looks, coupled with his being accompanied by their prince attracted every eye in the amphitheatre.
"They're all staring at me. Is it a rarity for a non-avian to attend this lecture?"
"We dont usually allow non Nuans inside Helios so, yes, you're a rarity. It also helps that you're very attractive."
"You think I'm attractive?" Syryn asked Riaku.
"Now you're just fishing for compliments."
