The Children's Pavilion
Two days had passed since Rhydian had found himself within the settlement of Syka and yet he had yet to actually step away from work to meet the young one that he had caught an interest in. Two days ago, when he had first arrived within Syka, Rhydian had spoken with Tazrae and Mathias about a young Eypharian orphan that had gone by the name of Brea. She had supposedly gone through several similar things as Rhydian and this had led to the older Eypharian hoping to speak with the girl so that he could learn about her past and see just how much the two of them had had in common. It is thanks to this young Eypharian girl that Rhydian would now find himself coming upon the Children's Pavilion.
From what the Eypharian had been told in the past, this large Drykas Pavilion had been repurposed to serve as a makeshift shelter for multiple children. Brea likely wasn't the only child that could be found at the Pavilion and she most assuredly had to have some kind of caretaker. Rhydian couldn't possibly believe that Mathias would leave these kids to fend for their own whilst residing within the settlement. If he was remembering correctly than it was entirely likely that each of the orphaned children had been partaking in their daily lessons at the moment. He had recalled the fact that these lessons tended to take place in the open-aired classroom that the Pavilion had and would decide that it would have been easier for him to encounter this little Eypharian girl there than anywhere else.
After having meandered about the pavilion for awhile, Rhydian would eventually come to find exactly what he had been looking for. There, sitting at one of the many desks within the open air classroom, had been a young girl with beautiful blue eyes and an extremely familiar set of six arms. She had looked to be quite a bit younger than Rhydian had been expecting but that was alright. No matter the age, Rhydian was sure that he could find some way to bond with the young Eypharian. The fact that they had each held a set of six arms was something that they could bond over at some point, if nothing else. "Hm? And who is it that you might be, young man?"
It would come as no surprise to Rhydian that this elderly woman, whom had been running the lessons of the day, had caught him in their gaze. He was an extremely tall Eypharian with six arms after all and if that didn't catch ones attention than he wasn't really sure what would. "O-oh... Well, uh, I was hoping to maybe talk with Brea?" Having heard her name, Brea would turn her gaze over towards the massive man that had been intruding on their lessons. This wasn't the first time that someone had done so of course but it was the first time that another Eypharian had. Spotting someone that had belonged to her own race was difficult for the girl at first and every part of her had wanted to avert her gaze from the man before he could get too involved. Once she had taken notice of his six arms though, Brea couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the man.
"With Brea, huh? You know, this is my first time ever seeing you within the settlement. Are you here with a purpose of some sort or are you perhaps interested in adopting?" While Michaela hadn't wanted to foist Brea upon the newcomer, given that she had known nothing about the man, she could see the possible benefits of the two interacting. Given the way that Eypharian's had treated the young girl in the past though, Michaela hadn't been quite sure on what the proper course of action in this moment would have been. "Are you here searching for a new family member or are you here looking for an apprentice? Brea is an extremely talented girl for her age and would make a phenomenal interpreter or translator."
