Who| Anyone who wants in
What| "To Have and to Hold" plot
Where| The planet Olum, Matihara Temple
When| Set vaguely the same time as "Gods Among Us" and "Other Mother"
Warnings/Notes| N/A

The planet Olum is a genuinely welcoming place. While the clothes they have to wear for the rituals are a bit...odd (provided they don't opt for coverups), they are comfortable, especially with such a balmy climate. Despite the Olumites allowing outsiders into their ceremonies, there's a distinct lack of tourist-ey elements; no gift shops, no merchants selling anything, just a spirit of genuine unity and celebration. The Olumite marriage guides seem to genuinely care about helping people with their relationships, and seem happy to share their cultural traditions with other species.

As far as missions go, it's definitely a nice vacation from the usual life or death struggles.

It means the Legionnaires have no distractions. They have to settle in and try to navigate this while faking sincerity as best as they can.

"It is nothing to envy as you can learn to. Besides, in idleness comes regret."

What he's trying to say that if you're given to much free time to think, you will inevitably start dragging your mind back to things you can't change but wish you would have done something different in that moment.

"Clearing my mind and focusing is what I do to stay mentally active."

"I'm well aware of that truth." She's quite familiar with the regret part, at the very least thoughts travelling where you'd rather them not go unless you've got something else to focus on. It's part of the reason she trains so hard.

"Would you mind teaching me sometime?"

[touchmydragon]

"I cannot be a teacher but I can be a tutor."

Semantics, really, but Genji didn't feel that he was skilled enough to be called teacher. That would be disrespectful to his own teacher, in his mind.

"I would be more than happy to impart what knowledge I can."

[justice_from_above]

"Thank you, Genji, I appreciate it." She smiles warmly over at him. She's not expecting some Mondottan Monk Intensive, but just relaxing and letting her mind still is never something she's been good at and any help she can get, she'll take.

By now they've reached the floatypuffs kiosk ad procure a ride, soon finding themselves lazily floating above the beach with a spectacular view. For a while it's rendered Fareeha speechless, and she's just happy to be up in the air again.

Genji sat in the cloudlike contraption cross legged, taking a moment of comfort while he could. These kinds of rides reminded him of his youth but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing though it did add a sense of wonderment to the equation.

"It is not often a break like this can be taken. Thankfully, such a break can be spent with this view."
