Rishi As it's been some few weeks since the Miracle occured at the Temple of the Changing Waters, the crowds and lines have tapered off somewhat, but people do still come regularly enough that there are plenty of people present much of the time. While the outside still looks like a door in a wall, the outer door has been replaced with a nicer one of wood and metal and the wall around the door has been painted with a nice fresco of the Lady rising from the waters.
Serene Herald It is early in the afternoon, after lunch, when the man comes in and looks around. He looks quiet, unassuming. Slightly tanned, and moving deliberately. About the only thing to mark him out of the ordinary is the long klaive scabbarded at his back. Eyes are wide as he looks around the temple, murmuring and muttering slightly to himself as he takes in the features.
Fudou the Mountain The Mountain can dress up appropriately when it suits him. He's usually a bare chested brawler brute of a behemoth. Muscles like landmasses all bunched up tectonic plate like bulks of movement and sliding glacier like forces on full barbaric display. Legs largely exposed and little more tattered garments, thick belts and rope belts and a purple hued headscarf wrapped about his head. Oh and his glasses. Silver rimmed glasses.

But today, a loose fitting outer jacket of expensive make and trimings and form fitting trousers with an additional set of belt sashes addorned with artwork indicating the mountains rising from the seas, envelops his frigate like body.

He's still bare chested of course along with temple pillar sized arms, but silver and gold bracers wrap about his wrists and settle around his neck as well, though occasionally lost in the rise and fall of the monstrous masses of his chest muscles.

Probably about as close to 'dressy' as you're going to get.

But it seems appropriate as he visits the temple and moves past people like a boulder rolling upstream a small river. He enters the temple shortly after the other new arrival as well and his vast body looms behind him like a sequioa bending over a small garden tree.

"Well hello! Have you come to temple to pay proper respects as well?"

Serene Herald The man turns, and seeing someone that tall is a bit of a surprise. He steps back once, but smiles and gives a courteous half-bow. "I am indeed of paying the respects," he says. "Hearing of this I am, and curious as well. Hearing of different rumors I am, so seeing of truth be I." He straightens up, and says, "I am being known as Perfect Question. How should I be calling you? Know you the god-Chosen who is here?"
Rishi Rishi, in all her glory, is in the temple welcoming people, helping them into or out of the pool, providing any assistance they might need with their new bodies, and so on. It takes her some few minutes to get around to welcoming these particular newcomers. "Greetings!" she gives them both a cheerful smile that simply exudes friendly warmth. "Fudou! It is being most nice to be seeing you once more! and who is being your friend?" she looks over this Perfect Question as she greets them.
Fudou the Mountain The giant merely grins at Perfect Question, looking friendly and bemused if not having a slightly look of potential mischief hidden in the depths of his gaze. He opens his mouth to speak but then Rishi arrives and he looks away fro him to her and his eyebrows lift up slightly as he studies Rishi in all her splendour. His grin remains but he almost looks..mildly embaressed for a moment before he regains his composure and gestures down towards the smaller man infront of him.

"If he is to be a friend, I welcome it! But I do not this one. He is called.. Perfect Question, yes? Which brings me to wonder what the perfect question is. Perhaps best left unknown.."

He lets his heavy arms drop to his sides, resting a massive hand upon his hips, "I came to visit you! I hope I dressed the part." He then turns to look to Perfect Question, expectantly.

Serene Herald "There are being of many questions, but almost all are of asking 'Why?'" Question says, and then turns to Rishi, and again he steps back slightly, and eyes widen. "I...I am being pleased to meet you--and also of you, Fudou." He steps to the side from both of the imposing--in their own way--people. "Am not meaning to intrude. If business you are having, by all means. Patient am I." A decently large spider comes in the temple as well and starts to look around, much as a dog might.
Rishi Rishi folds her wings back out of the way, her hair swaying as she does this and looking even more like a dark liquid than the last time Fudou saw her, before giving Fudou a brief hug. "You are looking most nice and it is always being the treat to be having the visit from you."
	 Rishi headtilts as she looks Question over, before switching to Firetongue. "Good morning! Are you here to visit the Waters, so that you can become your true self? We should have a free spot for you shorly. I am very, very sorry for the wait, but so many people wished to be blessed by the miracle, that we simply could not have everyone inside at once." she smiles, a touch embarassed. "This isn't a large temple after all. Or did you wish to discuss something else?" 

	 Rishi glances over at the door, then looks over, says "Please excuse me" in firetongue to Question and goes to go see the Spider. She bows before it and says, in Old Realm, "Oh High One, what is bringing you to our most humble temple on this day? How may this unworthy servant of the Gods be assisting you?"
Fudou the Mountain He sees The Spider as well and if he understands what it might be or might not be..he gives no outward recognition of it. Instead he turns his attention back to Rishi and listens and then watcheds as she detaches herself from the two of them to go address the spider directly.

"Fascinating." rumbles Fudou, his eyes more drawn to watching Rishi closely as she moves off then the spider itself though he does look on curiously at it.

"She is quite busy." he finally offers to Perfect Question, turning finally to look down upon the one with him.

"And quite good at what she does. I do not know if I will be able to draw her away for any sort of..recreation." Fudou inclines his head slightly and then lets a slight grin crease his features..almost mildly siaka like, "Did you come seeking a 'miracle'?"

Serene Herald Perfect Question smiles and slips into Flametongue himself. "I am quite satisfied with who I am, thank you, but I had heard rumors of wonderous things, and I wished to see them. Even among the City of Temples, and many miracles, the chance to witness the divine is marvellous and humbling. So while I thank you, for the welcome and offer, I will forgo the opportunity. At least at this time."

When Fudou talks with him, he nods. "True, but bonds of friendship are being of more import than visitor who is wanting to having seen..." He looks back to the woman of stunning beauty. "Suitors many she must be of having. Lucky you are, friend to be!" He grins and is about to talk to Rishi again, but the spider interrupts.

"Greetings, Chosen. This one is of a minor purvue, seeking to stay by my sorcerer's side. To serve his ends ashe also serves mine."

Fudou the Mountain Smarter then the average muscle bound behemoth. Fudou's eyes hood slightly as he overhears and understands.

"Suitos?" rumbles Fudou, playing with a hint of jealousy in his tone though in truth he hardly cares even if this is likely the case.

"Well then, I suppose I should be more 'active' then I am in order to scatter them to the winds!"

His grin returns though, tone once more playful and dismissive of any concerns on that front. "No, no, she has her pick of whomever she wishes for both fun and stability and I happen to know she's..." he fumbles as if trying to find the right word and then settles on:

"..Occupied..with a certain someone. Anything more then that is merely 'fun'."He then gestures at the Spider finally, "I wonder..who is 'that' with...?" revealing his understanding.

Rishi Rishi bows again to the Spider. "Then may you be having the Safe Travels, Great One." and resumes helping people into and out of the pool. If Question and Fudou are watching, they'll see that it's very simple. A man climbs into the pool and immerses himself under the water.
	 After a few moments, a pretty woman surfaces, gasping for air. Rishi helps her out, offering her a robe and a towel, before moving her in front of a few large mirrors so that she can properly see herself now. Rishi hugs her for a few moments as she starts crying, before seeing her off with a little bit of whispered advice and a pamphlet, then moving to the next person who just came out with snake scales.
Serene Herald "The Starweaver is of being with me," Question replies to Fudou. "Will not be of disturbing others, so long as they are not being scared of spiders." A slight smile, "Am sure she is of being happy with her arrangements." The plain, unassuming man watches the procession go in and out of the pool, then.

The Spider chitters softly, and makes his way before speaking. "Time is short. THe ways will be crowded, and we should leave earlier than you thought." He frowns, and then shakes his head, before nodding. "Fudou, I must be begging pardon, and leave you be. Please to be giving the Lady my respects?" He bows, and starts to head towards the exit.

Fudou the Mountain The huge lunar watches the departure of Question with hooded eyes and a look of surprise and curiousity. Fudou then looks away and starts to walk towards Rishi with heavy lumbering footfalls, heedless of any others who may be nearby or at the pool.

"How strange." he murmurs to himself before drawing near.

"Hey, don't overwork yourself luv. Don't you have assistants? Surely you can afford them with this crowd." he rumbles at RIshi.

Rishi Rishi smiles up at Fudou. "We are not charging the people for the access to this Miracle. It is being a blessing upon all. And, the other deacons were being on the break when you were arriving and I am most enjoying the helping of everyone." Her smile widens. "It is being both my calling and ...few are getting to see such true joy as I do." She looks at the line. There aren't that many people left. "I am thinking that it should not be too much the longer. Then we can be going somewhere private to be doing the talking."
