A temple on Verens isn't going to be a temple I'm going to want to practice my art in. Unless I constructed it myself, sanctified it, and found a kami to inhabit it, that's not a Shinto temple. I know you're trying to make me feel more at home, but that's like suggesting that a Catholic Mass can be held in a mosque. [And that is an admonishment, her voice firm on that point. The idea that she could be a priestess of a religion and just use a sacred space for another faith is beyond troublesome.]

A house is just fine. Here, I'm going to live in a house. And that's fine with me. Really, truly, that's not a problem.

[She turns, looking down at her hands, and then up at the yumi she had already mounted on the wall. It was something from home, she'd just happened to find the weapon when she'd woken up, and seeing it was nice.]

I want to connect more with who I was in the past. I know I was a hunter, I remember that, and I remember fighting too. Martians were soldiers and warriors, even the ones that weren't of royal blood. And I think it'd be good for me to learn some of those arts. To connect with beasts, maybe understand Phobos and Deimos better since they're stuck as birds.

[There's a long pause.]

Someone I met suggested to me that I might be able to use dunamis to connect with the local wildlife. I've been practicing a bit, and I think I'd like to try that.
