RE: The Monk and the Donna - Dark_Knight - 05-21-2020
Loyola enters the main hall, the intricate and ornate stone hall is decked with Buddhist scripture and decorations on the wall, in-front of Loyola is a large statue to Buddha, about twice her size and detailed, Sun bows towards the statue immediately before speaking quietly to Loyola "I have Green Tea, and I do play music on occasion." she comments before waiting for Loyola to bow also towards Buddha.

Enma would look at statue with distrust, it was at least different from what she used to see at Malta. She would slightly nod her head towards the statue, as monk clearly expected her to do so. That clearly wasn't enough by customs, but En thought that it would be just alright.
— Play music? What instrument? I assume it's something traditional?
Nothing but traditional Enma could expect from this place, really.

Sun watches her, she seems pleased that Loyola did anything at all not making any indication that she is upset or angry, just her plain kind expression "Ah, I wouldn't call it traditional, a violin, I practice sometimes. It is a hobby like my painting something to wind the hours away on Freeport 9. What of you, do you have any musical talents or hobbies of your own Donna Loyola?" she asks with the upmost respect.

— I usually hate being on my own and usually get someone to entertain me. I like making contacts and talking to new people, it aligns with my primary job very well. It's usually better to get business done during friendly conversation rather than official meetings which are quite hated. It's weird, now when you ask I realize that I kind of don't have one. I am curious and I guess learning new things is the one then. But at the same time, I have no patience to get professional in any particular field. It's useless.

Sun places her hands together in thought at Donna's words "I know a thing or two about Patience, some believe it to be weak or pessimistic to indulge in patience. I believe the opposite, I believe that patience shows the strength and clarity of mind, so that it breeds wisdom and compassion. To lay the ground for training the mind, you must first tame the mind but I can entertain you if you wish" she leads Loyola out to a garden where other Monks are working. She sits down at a gazebo, there is a traditional Kusari teapot with Kusari handle less cups. Sun puts the teapot on a heater, adding some tea bags to it "Green Tea?" she asks with a smile.

Outcast sits comfortably, looking around at the interior and working people. She's not a fan of this style of things, but she has to admit that this place is somewhat atmospheric.
— Oh, so you call me weak minded and unwise because I am impulsive and not patient? I've killed for less, you know?
Loyola smiles, but it sounded dead serious.
— Green, please.
She adds in much more soft and polite tone.

Sun looks up at her, she doesn't even acknowledge or fear the threat but speaks apologetic "Weak-minded? No, you clearly have a strong will and mind to survive in your profession, I merely suggest or recommend learning patience perhaps it would help you in your endeavours" she says with a friendly smile pouring some Green Tea out in a mug "If I indeed did insult you, then I apologise for that. Well, what is it you wish to talk about, philosophy, my religion, SIrius News or something else?" she asks pouring out some tea for herself.
RE: The Monk and the Donna - Loyola - 06-01-2020
Loyola smiles, enjoying all the appologizing tone she just heard. Proceeding with rather shoking question:
— So if your religion brings peace to the mind and soul, how do I convert?

RE: The Monk and the Donna - Dark_Knight - 06-02-2020
Sun sips some of her mug then looks over at Loyola, she raises a eyebrow and smiles wide "I would recommend some steps to ask yourself, just like all religions, Faith is important to Buddhist but we do not have the blind faith of Abrahamic religions. The Faith of Buddhists is a faith of grounded reason, so you must ask yourself some questions. Firstly Why exactly do you wish to convert to Buddhism Donna Loyola?" she asks carefully.

— Oh is this an exam now? Give me a few...
Enma is taking communication from her pocket, making some taps searching for something.
— So.. I wish to convert to help all living beings to find salvation and attain the enlightenment of the Buddha.
