>"Oh, okay," says Rumia, as the road starts to curve, and she ducksinto an alley that curves a different way. "Do you have any meat?"

>"You gotta think ahead more, Miss Megamaid!" she says, as you leave the alley and continue down a different street, this one much smaller and quieter than the others, just a little side road between some housing rows.

> "I will keep that in mind."

>"Good," she says. She leads you to an intersection with a larger road, more like the one you landed on, then stops and points to the north. "There."
>Down the road a little ways, you see a moderately-sized stone building with a number of statues out front. The Myouren Temple you remember was wooden, but the general shape seems to be the same. The stones are somewhat discolored with age, but great care has been taken to keep then clean. A large bell rests off to the side of its modest front grounds. The doors stand open.

>You make your way through the doors, and into the temple's front chamber. There are some chairs here, and a little table with a vase of silk flowers in it. An oddly morose-looking youkai with brown hair and floppy canine ears is here, sweeping the floor. She wears simple robes, you note a long. thin furry tail extending from the back of them. As she looks up at you, you note curious white and black patches in her hair.
>"Hello," she says in a dolorous tone.

>You do your best not to react; which takes quite a bit of professionalism on your part.
>You follow the youkai into a hallway, then quickly into a side hallway. This hallhas little in the way of decoration, just clean wooden floors and paper doors lining it. These quickly turn to more sturdy doors. Elise stops at one and knocks lightly. "Someone to see you."
>After a moment, she opens the door and gestures for you to enter.

>You prepare yourself and enter the room.
>You enter a small bedroom, bearing few amenities. A bed, a table and a couple chairs, a window that is currently covered, and a wardrobe. In the middle is a meditation mat.
>She stands up from it, clad in a simple red gown decorated with some yellow ribbons. Barely coming up to your chin, you would recognize her anywhere. She still has the same ponytail, a bit longer now. Her wings are as you remember them,but larger now, the crystals stretching further down. She looks at you blankly, blinking for a moment.
