[Seems Raye's recovered from her injuries. She's not relying on a crutch anymore, her complexion is healthy, and she's even slightly breathless from chasing down a litterbug and beating him over the head with her broom. That'll teach him to toss his empty soda can on the temple grounds! ...But right, business.]

Hey, everyone. My name is Raye. Some of you know me, some don't. If you're new, feel free to ask me questions about this place. I'll answer what I can, but I don't know everything, so don't get rude if I can't tell you exactly what you want to know.

[She folds her arms in warning, halfway to a frown. But then she smiles and relaxes.]

It's a little late in the season, but the temple grounds are now open to the public. I thought it'd be fun to have a cherry viewing party. Bring a blanket, a picnic lunch, and your friends. The weather should be good on Sunday, so that's when we'll have it. See you then!

[Private to Jaune]

Hey. Sorry I've been quiet for so long. I've been...a lot more irritable than usual, and I didn't want to blow up at you for something dumb. How've you been?

[What a coincidence!

The lost boy waited patiently for the return of the shrine priestess.]

Thank you! [Genuinely grateful.]

I guess you could say I'm from Tokyo too. [But only part of the time.]

[flamescout]

We're practically neighbors, then.

[She smiles, though she doubts they're from the same Japan. Not unless he's heard of Sailor Moon or Sailor V. And there's no way she can ask him something like that without arousing suspicion concerning her secret identity.]

What's your name?

[Very rarely is Ryoga greeted with such kindness. Why it just moves to think such a beautiful woman could treat a man like him with care. You could say it made him a bit emotional.

Oh right the water, he'll sample it to avoid being rude.]

Hibiki Ryoga. Yours?

[Oh, he's using the Japanese type of introduction? She'll follow suit...not like her name is any different in the way it's pronounced.]

Hino Rei. Nice to meet you, Ryoga.

[No need to be formal, right?]

How long have you been in Genessia?

[Action]

[roamsaimlessly]

Nice to meet you to! [Half eager, half nervous.]

I'm...not sure. Not very long? [A few weeks. It was hard to tell when you're lost all the time.]

Have you been here for long?

[Action]

[flamescout]

Yeah, unfortunately.

[She folds her arms with a huffed sigh. But it's not like it's ALL bad, she supposes.]

Come sit down on the steps. Rest as long as you need to, the temple's a good place for that sort of thing.
