Eve was sitting in the room near the fireplace as she shivered underneath the layers of blankets she was wearing. The American woman had been in the process of traveling to the base of the mountain, trying to make it to the village before the weather took a turn for the worse. It was raining heavily when she had gotten lost before stumbling upon a temple. She could understand Japanese very well from taking an interest in learning the language in her spare time, but speaking it was very difficult, though. Her Japanese was very broken, almost like a toddler trying to speak, but thankfully, she had a dictionary to help pronounce some words.
The ginger asked for some shelter from the storm and was brought to a small room with a futon. Drying herself off and changing out of the western-style clothing into something clean and dry, she felt more relaxed. It was a casual yellow and green dress that had a ribbon around the waist. Her copper hair was slightly curly from the dampness of the weather, so she pinned it up in a messy bun. After settling in a few hours later, the thunderstorm was still ongoing before she heard a knock at the sliding door. A woman in a plain white kimono spoke about being summoned by their Founder. Her green eyes widened as she figured it must have been the person in charge of the temple. Nodding her head, she stood up, allowing the blankets to fall to the ground.
Silently, she walked in the long hallways before being brought into a room filled with cushions. Stepping inside, the other woman led her towards a small red cushion on the ground before a raised area. It was currently empty, but the American could tell it was meant for someone to sit on. It was almost like a sofa filled with cushions, but the other quickly left without saying a single word. Chewing her lip nervously, Samantha tried to remain calm as she was nervous about making a good impression on the Founder. If he disliked her, then he might throw her out in the rainstorm. The drops pattered against the tile and roof of the temple as the room was silent.
Shifting her legs on the cushion, she was trying to get comfortable after kneeling. Footsteps filled the room, which caused her to straighten her spine quickly to look in the direction of the noise. Her loose strands of hair pounced from the movement of whipping her head around, as her emerald eyes widened in shock. She was expecting the person in charge of the temple to be elderly, not someone so young. Her gaze remained fixed on the male, observing him silently, not sure what she should do.
