Hello again, my fellow Sirocco inhabitants! I just remembered something of great personal significance. I am, in fact, a priestess! Indeed, a humble disciple of Bishamonten, the divine guardian and punisher of evildoers, shining brightest among the Seven Gods of Fortune.

Are there any among you who would consider undertaking buddhist training? The trials will put your body and spirit to the test, but if you perservere, you may be able to attain enlightenment...

You know,

[Among friends! That dignified manner from before sure disintegrated fast.]

Did you know that, you know,

[Also she seems to have gotten staggeringly fall-down drunk. Again.]

There's some kinda rule for priests, that you aren't supposed to drink alcohol?

[Loud, drunken laughter.]

I don't know any priestshstshs who follow THAT rule! What kinda life would that be?

[TRAINING MONTAGE TIME. The one training is Shou! She's practicing the art of spear combat, with somebody - possibly you! - as her teacher. Her form, her precision, the grace of her attacks...]

[They're all sloppy, at best. If you didn't know any better, you might think she'd never even held a spear before.]

ARGH!

[Shou throws the spear to the ground in a fit of frustration.]

Lousy pointed stick! Why was I holding you when I arrived if I don't have the first idea how to use you?!

Pretty sure that part's more of a guideline than an actual rule.

[wontdieifkilled]

That just sounds like an excuse.

[youkai_of_the_tiger]

We'll chalk it up to my continuing advancement towards enlightenment. The Six Perfections are a journey, not an entry requirement. Few can grasp all six so easily.

[wontdieifkilled]

...You're still making excuses, you know.

[youkai_of_the_tiger]

Oh, shut up and have a drink.

[wontdieifkilled]

I'm only seventeen. I can't drink yet.

[youkai_of_the_tiger]

What does being seventeen have to do with anything?

[wontdieifkilled]

I'm below the legal age to drink. That's what it has to do with.

[youkai_of_the_tiger]

That's ridiculous! Drinking is an important part of any well-rounded social life.

[wontdieifkilled]

It also has worse effects on people with developing bodies, because then it impedes growth. That's why it's illegal below a certain age.

[youkai_of_the_tiger]

I've been drinking for as long as I can remember, and I don't feel impeded!

[wontdieifkilled]

You're also not human. That probably makes things different.
