Sun gently takes the cup, holding it in both her hands and sipping gently she does not make any sound whilst she does this. She looks up towards Kiku nodding in agreement "Anger is usually met with anger but you cannot overcome it with just that. if you are in control of your anger and you show it's opposite. Love, compassion, tolerance, and patience. You will remain in peace, and possibly bring it to others to calm them." she smiles briefly sipping more of the Tea silently "That is the way I was taught, from the old scriptures and Sutras" she smiles briefly remembering her time "Our religions are similar and, I am glad to find one who thinks the same as me." she takes a deep breath, then drinks more of the tea "This tea is, quite good" she compliments.

Kiku had to smile at Sun. "Oh, I thought it's more like a path or style than religion. " She smiled, holding her cup of tea close to her mouth. "I am glad you like this creation of mine, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. So tell me, how do you feel in our shrine? Any feelings?"

Sun puts the cup down briefly she nods at Kiku with a warm smile "Buddhism is a lifestyle and a path to Buddhists, myself included. To describe it as a religion, however, is still correct, just different ways of understanding. All religions are like ships moving in the same direction." she looks around the shrine, placing her hands together in thought. She takes quiet deep breaths through her nose as she meditates on the question, seemingly absorbed in the surrounding environment after a long moment she opens her eyes looking to Kiku "It fills me with warmth and understanding. There is a karmic feeling to this shrine, a good karmic feeling. I feel at ease" she compliments picking back up her cup and drinking it quietly.

Kiku was glad Sun liked her decorated temple. It was something everyone would like to hear at some point. "All religions are similar, all of them talk about person or people creating world as we know it today. Or it's the guide to your happy life. " She took a sip of her tea. "It's kinda quiet now, people are busy, but next readings should be tomorrow, if you would like to attend. Obviously if your administration schedule isn't tight enough."

Sun finishes off her tea she looks over to Kiku, speaking with some knowledge "My religion, my lifestyle as many call it is not about worshipping a god, Buddha is a enlightened man yes but it is not about him watching over us, it is about becoming like him. Obtaining Buddha-Hood" she has a brief smile afterwards then talks "A reading would be welcomed, Kiku-san and do not worry I can find the time" she finishes putting the tea calmly in-front of her, adjusting her orange robes.

Kiku was looking at Sun while listening to her words. "It's not like our goddess is watching us, just leads us to right path. She is the one holding sacred artifacts. But I understand what you mean." She took a sip of her tea, also finishing it off. "Well, would you like me to find a room for you or are you going to sleep in your ship? I am not sure how comfortable you are on this station. It's just a metal and some decorations flying in space of Hokkaido, my point of view, heh!" Kiku had to smile once again as she slowly got up and went to the wall of wishes and struggles. "One of these is mine. Sometimes even the wise people need to share their dreams with the wall, maybe they are afraid of judgement of others?"

Sun rises from her seated position, she puts her hands behind her back as she answers Kiku speaking with some knowledge "My ship shall be fine, one must have privacy at times. My comfort is not in question, the more I feel I may cause trouble for you if I remain on the station. I imagine I am a tempting kidnapping target, so for this night I shall be on my Serenity." she follows Kiku to the wall of wishes and struggles "In my time nobody is perfect, that is why all of us in our own ways strive for it. Be it spiritual perfection or other means, my wishes are for continued peace in Omicron Theta of course and perhaps beyond that system." she looks over the list of wishes and struggles, examining a few of them "Others are my main concern, helping them find peace or giving wisdom and advice much as you clearly have." she turns and has a sweet reassuring smile towards Kiku, impressed

Kiku turned around, to face Sun."It's important to have a dream. If you have one, you can do anything to achieve it. Some may call it purpose of their lives, and I cannot blame them for that. Unless their dreams are supposed to harm others. That's something I'd eradicate at the earliest convenience." She said, now staring at the ceiling where universe with many stars was displayed by painting. "Countless stars are present in the universe, same goes for dreams and personalities. You can reach some, some earlier, some later and some will always remain untouched. It depends on your dedication to reach any of them. I am dedicated to help others on their path, yet I never care about my own. It's my fault." Kiku said, still looking at the ceiling.

Sun stares upward at the ceiling for some time in contemplation she then smiles, finding something in herself and looking to Kiku speaking in her calm serene way "Caring about others is just another path, one must help others before helping oneself I find. I have done it many times before" she stares up at the painting once, speaking in a pleased tone "Did you paint this yourself? I'm an amateur painter myself, I enjoy painting the most beautiful of systems and planets. Sometimes people or even ships" she finishes her sentence looking back at the ceiling.

Kiku smiled, still looking at the ceiling "Painting used to be my hobby, before I became rather busy with my stuff. However I've never reached such skill to make something like that." She said, still smilling. She really liked the master piece above her. "Maybe I will give painting one more chance, I kinda miss this hobby, all the colors and mix of the feelings you put in it."
