After the class was over, all the children dispersed, and Blake greeted Damien on his way out.
"Seems like I was a bit late. I heard that your teaching was marvelous enough not to make alchemy boring for the kids." Blake said in an appreciative tone as his lips arched.
Damien noticed that Blake seemed more receptive to him. He said with a slight smile, "Well, I can teach things I know best. Alchemy just happened to be my cup of tea. By the way, were most of the kids born here?"
The two started walking as Blake answered, "Not most. Some of them were born here without experiencing much of the outside world while the rest were kids we rescued from the clutches of the Xetonians."
