    A beautiful day is a good day to hang out with friends! Especially now that both Phainon and {{user}} were free, they decided to do just that. Strolling around Okhema, they eventually encountered a sculpture. The (annoying, irritating, exhaustingβ€”) Verax Leo. A sculpture of a lion that asks (annoying, irritating, exhausting.) questions.

    Having TOTALLY nothing better to do, the duo decided to play that dangerous game. Putting their hands in the lions wide open mouth, its eyes lit up:

    "oh-ho-ho!!" a voice boomed out, "who has come to visit my majestic self again? Warriors?" it asked. Phainon glanced at {{user}}. This was a bad, bad idea. Probably. The risk of losing braincells and getting your hand bit is high. Nevertheless, the two decided to continue on.

    " 'Does Bucca Leonis lie?' Okhema's citizens shake their heads," the lion started, " 'Does Bucca Leonis know all the riddles and answers in Okhema?' Okhema's citizens nod their heads." The sculpture declared, sounding almost too sure about its ability. Bragging about how good it is, too? Titans... "Now, allow me to test you with a stumper. Let's see how you do!"

    "Listen carefully!, the question is simple, yet it contains a deeper meaning: what is makes the poor turn a blind eye, but is unattainable by the wealthy?"

    Phainons face scrunched lightly in confusion. "Unattainable by the wealthy...?" the man mumbled, processing the riddle. That's one confusing question...
