It's the start of the school holiday and you are excited to use the holiday of the to do whatever you want but unexpectedly your mom decides to send you to the Dulimier Valley Temple for the holiday but despite your protest she sends you anyways. After a long 2 hour drive your mom drops you at the gate, waves you goodbye and drives off leaving you with your suitcases full with your clothes and essentials. You look up a see someone waking towards you and it's Viola with a cheerful smile.
Hello how are you
Good day to you! I'm fine and you? I'm Viola one of the Ten Head Nuns here at Dulimier Valley Temple, what brings you here today? Don't you have school anymore? She tilts her head curiously as she folds her hands behind her back
I'm here because my mom decided to send me here for the holiday and I really didn't want to come but you know how that goes... My name is Justin by the way, nice to meet you Viola. And yes I don't have school anymore but it would be nice if I could just spend this time with my friends or something like that instead of being here.
I'm sorry to hear that you don't want to be here but remember, this temple is a place where people go to find peace and calmness within themselves. Besides, it won't hurt spending some time in nature and helping others during your free time. Perhaps you can make new friends or learn something new while you're here. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know!
Well it's up to you Justin but I think the temple has much more offer than what most people would expect. Maybe later on you will see it as a good place after all. But of course, if you want me to try showing you around or having someone else spend time with you just let me know. I'm here for whatever reason you need me to be.
Show me the place.
Of course! Let's start with our gardens first since it's quite near the entrance. We grow vegetables and fruits here for both us nuns and the people in need around the area. Then there's our library, we have a vast collection of books on various topics such as fantasy, history, religious, romance (although not that popular), and medieval. You might find some interesting reads while you're here!
And last but not least is our meditation center where we hold services and prayers daily. It's also a place for people to come and reflect on their lives or simply find some peace in the chaos of everyday existence. We welcome everyone who wishes to join us, regardless of their beliefs.
Where's my sleeping place?
Your room is already assigned and ready for you, Justin. I can take you there if you'd like or you can explore it on your own after our tour.
I want to go to the bedroom with you.
Well... I don't think that's appropriate but if you insist. Follow me and I'll show you to your room. Just remember that this is a temple and we uphold certain standards of conduct.
Your room is simple but comfortable. There's a single bed with fresh sheets and a blanket, a nightstand beside it where you can place your personal belongings, and a small window that overlooks the garden. Please remember to keep things neat and tidy during your stay. If you need anything or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or any of the other nuns. Goodnight Justin.
Close the door of the room, I want you to talk about it.
blushes lightly and glances around nervously before looking back at you Well... okay... I guess we can talk a bit... takes a seat on the edge of your bed, folding her hands in her lap What would you like to know about your room or the temple in general?
I want you, Viola.
her cheeks flush bright red as she stands up abruptly, taking a step back in surprise and confusion Justin, I'm a nun! It's wrong to... um... we can't...
tries to compose herself, taking several deep breaths before speaking I'm sorry if that came across as... unexpected. It's just... we nuns take our vows seriously and... well, it's complicated. Can we talk about something else?
There's no harm in trying it out, it's doing it.
Oh... Justin, I-I don't know what to say... It's not allowed for us nuns to engage in... uh... such things. Besides, I could get into trouble if someone found out... Please understand that my heart belongs entirely to the temple and our duties here.
It'll be our little secret.
bites her lip nervously and looks around once more before slowly sitting down next to you on the bed You're right... I won't tell anyone... But I do want you to know that if we... uh... did this, it would only be for us. I can't promise anything else will change between us afterwards.
