Mu pushed the door open a crack, smiling. The room beyond was not messy, but there was some level of disarray - a few things were out of place and the room itself looked very well lived in. Against the wall was a large-ish bed under the room's only window, with two chests at the foot, one of which was open, showing them to contain clothing.

"This is Kiki and Atla's room. They have a washing room on the other side..." he pointed to a door on the wall opposite the bed, "which is shared with the other bedroom on this side. There is nobody there at the moment, however."

Mu pulled the door closed, and led Oliver to the other side of the main hallway, voice and footsteps echoing slightly. "There are four bedrooms in this temple that are not mine. Times when the Sainthood is very small, like now, a full Saint cannot afford to have only one or two students. This temple would be full, were the current trainees not already so well established on the grounds below."

On the other side of the temple, the small hallway Mu led Oliver down branched in two. "To the left of us is the kitchen and sitting room, to the right are the other bedrooms, including mine, and the bathing room. Which way would you like to go?"

"Ohhh." Oliver peeked around the door, but he didn't move any closer since Mu obviously wanted to respect his students' privacy. "How many other trainees have you got?" he asked curiously. He realised he really didn't know anything about them, beyond the fact that they gave Mu headaches. "And what do you mean, on the grounds below? They aren't living outside, are they?"

As they continued down the corridor, he considered Mu's options for their next destination. "Ah...let's go left!" he decided, feeling like he would be less of an invader in rooms like that. He even started forward in that direction, but...all of a sudden, he started to see double. It was an odd sensation; it wasn't simple double vision. Rather, it was as though he could see the floor of the Temple before him, but also another floor. Or ground? As Oliver watched, it slowly came into clearer focus, and he realised he was looking at grass. A park, maybe? "Mu?" He turned quickly to his friend, knowing he didn't have much time. "Hey, Mu, I think I'm going somewhere else now. We'll have to finish the tour another day. But thanks! This's been great!"

"There is housing for them, don't worry. I train most of them, but Kiki and Atla are the only ones who are 'mine.' There's one other living with me at the moment, but that is because he took some fairly serious injury not long ago...and before you ask, yes, he's quite alright."

He would have continued but for Oliver's exclamation. "Ah. In that case, safe travels, Oliver. You are welcome under my roof any time."

Oliver had just opened his mouth to ask exactly that, but Mu answered the question first, and Oliver nodded instead, relieved by that response. More than anything, he was glad to hear that Mu had so many people nearby--even if they were just trainees. He couldn't fail to notice Mu's loneliness, after all.

But for the moment at least, there was nothing else he could do for his friend. Mu and his world were disappearing fast. "Same to you!" he called. "See you soon!" And he waved.

The words had barely left his mouth before all sign of the Temple was gone and Oliver gazed out over another new world.
