Cleaning, .. Yippee!

[Sayuri]

Sayuri, halfway through her glaive practice, paused to listen to the bell chime eight times. Sighing, the young priestess turned and bowed out of habit, glaive planted firmly in the floor. Hastely, she threw on the novice robes for the Goddess, and, with her glaive, walked out of her room.

Heading downs towards the closest, she got a few rolled eyes for carrying her weapon, but she didn't care one bit. Taking the mop, clothe, bucket, and broom, she headed into the altar. She casted a small glance to the door, and set everything down, except the broom. At the end, she quietly began to sweep, only looking when someone would enter. She just hoped that person wouldn't be drunk.

[Priestess Kataru]

Kataru walked into the temple her glaive in her hand. She had just come back from a walk in the forest. She saw Sayuri sweeping the floors and smiled at the girl.

"Good morning." she said cheerfully. I believe you were the one practicing with a glaive am I correct?"

[Sayuri]

Sayuri looked up, the girl coming in when attention was focused upon the floor. Giving, an equally cheerful greeting with a smile. When light from the glaive caught her attention, she looked up, in time when she was being spoken too.

Bowing her head lightly, she affirmed the assumption with a polite. "You are correct, my lady." Straightening up, she held the broom in her hand.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

[Priestess Kataru]

"Yes I was wondering if I could meet the High Priestess here if she was in" She bowed politly to Sayuri." My name is Kataru Minamoto. I am a Yamani Priestess from the Emporer's temple. I have come with a message that I must speak of with her."

[Sayuri]

At the title, she bowed lightly, one more. Standing up, she solomnly pointed to the door on her left, the one next to the cleaning items and glaive.

"Pleasure to know your name, Priestess Kataru. The High Priestesses office is through that door, and bending a right. Please remember to knock. I'm not sure if she is awake or not." Sayuri replied, hand already down onto the broom.

"If she isn't awake, I could give an estimate time to be back, that time being just before noon."

[Priestess Kataru]

"Well if she is not awake and moving around I can wait to speak with her..." she smiled at Sayuri. "The message is from my father who is the High Priest at my temple."

Kataru looked at the all the cleaning supplies. "Would you like some help? I wouldn't mind, since I've probably have done the same chores as you once..."

[Sayuri]

[OOC- Sorry for the long delay]

Sayuri nodded her head respectfully, returning the smile. Looking over at the cleaning supplies, she thought for a moment at what the priestess could do.

"You can dust or clean the windows if you'd like. Either would be helpfull. I really don't think mopping would be good with the floor still being sweeped." Sayuri smiled, starting to sweep again. "And my name is Sayuri."

[Priestess Kataru]

Kataru grabbed a cloth and went to the windows and started dusting.

"It's nice to meet you Sayuri."She said bowing lightly to the girl. "So what's it like working at the Temple of the Goddess?"

[Sayuri]

Sayuri smiled lightly as Katura picked up the clothe. Looking down, she continued to sweep, a placid feature on her face.

"Well, I'm still in training, but even still, its been an expierence. One I wish to stick with." Sayuri replied, pulling what ever dust might be behind the altar. "Its just one of those places I connect too."

[Priestess Kataru]

"Yes...I've known the feeling. But ever since I left the Yamani Islands I just havn't found my place to connect to yet." she sighed.

She moved on to the next window as she finished the first. She cleaned it and moved on to the next one passing the time by.

[Sayuri]

Sayuri continued to sweep in a foward motion, heading to the door, mostly. She sort of liked the sound the bristles made against the smooth, stone surface of the temple.

"What is like? Over in the Islands? My parents moved here when Queen Shinkokami was crowned, before I was born." The priestess trainee explained quietly. "I've been wanting to visit, but I haven't the time nor money yet."

[Priestess Kataru]

"The Islands are beautiful. I've been to all of them, most of them on training expeditions." She came back and placed the cloth down after finishing the windows. "But you would like them alot. And to tell you the truth Trainee Sayuri I miss the Islands already. Maybe me and you could go and visit them." She laughed

"That is if the princess gives me time off.."

[Sayuri]

Listened to what she could, as she moved her dust pile down the ramp. She would duck once in awhile to reach under a pew. but she would just pop back up, adding to her dust pile.

"They sound peaceful, the Islands, but they aren't all the time, from my parents' stories." Sayuri stated, pulling some of her long tresses away from her face. Laughing, she replied, "I would love to join you, Priestess Kataru."

Sighing, she reached a corner, dragging the dust out. In the Yaman language, to make sure there were no eavesdroppers, she asked. "Might I ask why you are here? If you don't mind me asking, of course, or it its none of my business."

[Priestess Kataru]

Kataru looked at the girl. "I'm here to deliver a message to your High Priestess and I also have a couple of questions I need to ask as well. And probably because I miss working at a temple." She replied in Yamani.

In Common she continued. "There's nothing you need to worry. I'm just worried about the Princess."

[Sayuri]

Sayuri nodded her head as the words translated into her head. Smiling reasuringly, she said, "Then I shall not worry."

As she finished sweeping, she was at the door, when a rather red-faced woman walked in. Not red, as in blushing, or out of breath. Red as in anger. Saving her pile of dust from her quick pace, she glanced at her, sweeping the dust out of the temple. Coming back inside, a man seemed to be heading in the general direction. He paused hesitantly, looking up at the temple, thinking twice about it. Grumbling, he walked away, as the woman made her way to the alter.

Sayuri's face stayed calm, nodding respectfully to the women, as she placed the broom against the wall. Looking at Kataru, she pointed to the mop, and tilted her head, while pointing to herself, and the side door. She was indicating if the priestess too would like a mop to help do so. She then shrugged, a gesture that she didn't have too.
