"That's because I'm a visitor to the city. As I said before, I'm a Bell Tower priestess from Ecruteak. As for what I've done for him, I rescued his father and am helping his father readjust to society."

"His father? Rescued?"

"It's none of your business as to what Ray's been through. But I truly care about their feelings and what they think. Can you say the same?"

The girl was silent. Christos never said anything about his father....I just assumed he didn't have one...

"I've never done anything for him..."
Christos had some dumplings.

"You've never even gotten to try to know him for who he really is, have you?"

"No. He's really distant at school."

"He has a lot to deal with. And the way you and other girls fawn over him probably doesn't help things either."

The girl fell silent. I had no idea...

Sunset's stern gaze faultered a little as she looked over her shoulder at the lake. "Look, I'll give you some advice. I don't know much about guys since the only ones I've been around are practically my brothers, but I still think I know some about them. Being in a fan club and fawning over him will make your chances of getting with him slim. Don't stalk him or anything like that. Just be direct and act like yourself. Don't try to mold yourself to what you think the guy wants. You'll come across as fake and people hate that. If he doesn't like you for who you are, then he isn't meant for you. And listen to your heart and your head evenly, not your hormones. Just because a guy is gorgeous doesn't mean he's the right one. Listen to people closest to him say about him. They're the most likely to tell you what he's really like. In short, really, listen and be yourself."

She smiled. "I'm not much older than you, but with the training I've received, I'm smarter than the average sixteen year old." She blinked and looked at her watch. "Ack. It's been fifteen minutes... See you later." She bowed and started walking through the trees back to Christos.

The girl stayed at the lake, thinking over what she said.

Sunset blinked when Mr. Lobo approached her. "Is there something I can do for you, sir?" she asked, curtsying.
"I think it'd be a good idea for you to get some practical experience in the real world and see how kids your age really act," he said with a smile. "For the duration of your stay, I think it'd be good of you to go to a high school."
"But sir, I need to keep an eye on Ray..." she said.

Christos sat at a table, making weird figures out of the napkins.

"Is there anyone else that could?" MR. Lobo asked.
"Well, Sona and Suma... Suma's got three hundred healing years behind her..." Sunset said.
"I think it'd be best if they take over, then," Mr. Lobo said. "I'm sure Jackie would agree with me."
"Yes, sir," Sunset said, bowing her head submissively. Mr. Lobo nodded, then walked away. Sunset sighed as she sat next to Christos.

"Mr. Lobo just told me he thought it'd be good for me to go to school for the duration of my stay to 'see how teenagers my age really act'," she said. "I'm going to stick out like a sore thumb."

"I hope so." She sighed. "And my main worry was your dad. He can depend on Sona and Suma, but I just feel responsible since I was the one that found him..."

Christos nodded. "I'm pretty sure you're one of the only people he trusts as well."

She nodded. "I've only known Sona and Suma a short time, but I'd trust them both with my life. They used to be a part of the Josei Dojo until they moved to the main city. Master and Mistress are well acquainted with me because they often visit the Bell Tower to pay homage to Mother as well as Lord Ho-oh. I hope Ray'll be able to find he can trust them. Suma has 300 years of healing experience behind her as well, so that'll be good if anything comes up."
