Harata woke, and groaned.
Every bone in her body ached, and her sides, though it had stopped bleeding for now, felt raw and worse of all. Then she remembered the Whitehaired Man, and attempted to jolt up. That, however would not stand to pass, as the wound in her side, she realized, stopping herself just short, would re-open if she moved at her normal speed and agility. "Hello?" She cautiously rose into a sitting position. She saw the overseer in a pew near her, and relaxed. He was unconsious, and his wounds too were bound, as hers freshly were.
Looking around for the person who had helped them, she happened upon Bapp. Wearing strange revealing clothing, though it suited the man quite well,e was in all probablity only a little taller than her when standing. She looked at him again, then the Overseer, trying to see whether either was awake. They were not, but it was warm and safe in the Sanctuary, so she started singing.
"When winter's snow,
Summer storm,
Pass between the mountain peaks,
When babies tall,
And mother's weak,
Still standing crawl,
I wish you might remember me,
In the land of truth,
And beauty free,
When life at its best,
Seems bad,
The time has yet to come."
She stopped then. She did not want to wake the men who needed rest as she did, and besides, she could not remember the rest. Her voice was strangely low for her speaking voice, and appearance. It was a high tenor, or a low alto, the sound of wind on a open plain or the feeling of a warm fire in a snowy place.

 ((lolwut? Singing?))
"Mmmm?" Bapp groaned as he heard the singing. He was a pretty light sleeper, and he was taking a nap more than sleeping to begin with.
He sat up and yawned, stretching.
"Ah, you're awake. How are your wounds?" Bapp asked the girl as she stopped singing.

"Bloody terrible. But I'll live." She flashed the man a quick smile. "Thanks for bandaging me. Will he be okay?" She motioned her head at the Overseer. "The silly idiot got scared of me as I was trying to help him, all because I mentioned Imma SINner. Had to tackle him, see, other wise he would of either tripped over his robe or got into more trouble. I'm Harata. And you are?"
((Lulz. My chara seems to have multiple personality disorder.)))

"He's fine. He's a bit weird, but he's pretty sturdy, for some odd reason." Bapp replied.
"The name's Bapp. Nice to meet you." He greeted Harata with his trademark grin.
"S.I.N. or not, I don't care. The war's over, and that's all that matters to me right now." He continued.
"Once this guy gets up, I'll go back to camping. Can't live in luxury forever. What are you going to do?"

As the group arrived to the temple--with two new additions: Bapp and a young fellow she's never met before--she promptly collapsed on the nearest pew. "Finally..." she muttered. She had fallen asleep before she remembered that she had to tend to Harata's wounds...
After a short nap, Angelique sat up with a start. "Ah! Harata! The Overseer!" she exclaimed as she stood up and looked for them. She was relieved to find most of them sleeping on some of the Temple's pews. She let out a small sigh and smiled. She proceeded to check Harata's wound, and was quite surprised when she saw that it was stitched already. Good, that way High Priestess Lorika might be able to do something about it.
She decided to let them rest and go and train until they woke up.

Be good... After a long meditation session in front of the Overseer's curtained-off throne, she headed back downstairs to see if any acolytes needed her. She had spent some time chatting, as she had planned, but the young ones always had chores to do and could never stay for long. Well, she supposed in her current occupation there were always going to be slow days. Still, after the ominous signs that morning, it was odd that nothing had happened... perhaps she should take to checking an almanac so that maybe she would be more prepared for the surprises that constantly crept up on her.
The sight that greeted her in the Temple hall was an odd one. There were usually people milling about, but now the room was completely empty except for a group of people asleep on the soft cushions lining the floor. She glanced over them all quickly - Evelyn, Angelique, a SINner named Harata who'd earned a reprieve after being cast out... she didn't recognise the boy in the top hat, nor the other young boy who appeared to be sucking his thumb. Her eyes lingered for a moment while taking this all in on a mop of white hair, and they soon returned to it. The shocking white looked familiar. She immediately thought of the Captain, but no; there was something different about the particular shade of white. While Jessie Hawk's white hair appeared the bright shade of icy snow, this shade appeared to give off a warm, light sheen reminiscent of gentle sunlight through the window...
Her stomach gave a jolt. It was an all-too familiar sight.
But no. It couldn't be. It couldn't!
As the group began to stir, she picked her way around the cushions, her eyes as wide as saucers. Peering, peering down, trying to get a glimpse of the man's face.
"!!!!"
Jumping back, her hand clapped to her mouth so hard she might have knocked a tooth out had she had a little more physical strength. Her big, blue eyes tripled in size.
"My Lord!"
She stumbled - then, falling into a more appropriate reaction, she corrected herself by tumbling into a deep bow, her forehead pressed to the ground. She wasn't sure if he was even awake, but it was a reflex.
...and you will be lonesome.

((Rawr! I have to catch up again >.<))
Kyo stood up and pulled on one of his many spare robes. He stood by and watched everyone care for the girl they were calling Harata and felt a heavy feeling of uselessness fall upon him. Grabbing one of the many tridents lined up against the wall he set off by himself in search for a way to make himself useful to the order.

(( You make his hair sound dreamy. -runs hands through ... and picks out a leaf- )) "... Mmwha?" Groaning in complaint, his mumbled question likely wasn't the answer the priestess would think ideal during this memorable moment. After a too short nap, groggy and disoriented, he was more asleep than awake. His eyes opened back to the sight and calming colors of the interior of the temple, and he was sore everywhere, the unforgiving pew not the best bed to choose. He sat up carefully, Bapp's jacket sliding off of him and he rubbed the back of his head. He spotted who must have woken him, a woman bowing face down on the floor. Her body was too composed and graceful to think that she had fallen there by accident. He glanced over his shoulder, thinking that perhaps there was something behind him that she was showing respect to. Finally, the all too familiar confusion settled around him, foggier still through the veil of sleep. "Excuse me, but you well?" (( Edit: I find it funny to see how I subconsciously cannibalize words from other posts. ))

Angelique was in the process of Sanctifying some water and oil flask, when she heard an echoed 'My Lord!'. Angelique almost dropped the flask she was holding and looked over her shoulder. The High Priestess has just discovered the presence of the Overseer in the Temple. Angelique smiled brightly. She placed the flasks inside her robes, and walked over to them.
When she finally made it to their side, she had to surprised a giggle at how funny and disoriented the Overseer looked at the moment. It was so cute! "She's fine sir... this is the whole 'meeting the god you worship' thing I mentioned earlier," she said, kneeling beside Lorika, "High Priestess... I'm sorry that I didn't warn you about his presence..." she apologized. "But we were all exhausted when we made it back... and it's a rather long story about what happened..." she said.

Be good...To the surprise of everyone awake in the room, Lorika rounded on Angelique, her eyes wild. She didn't seem to have taken in a word of what the girl had said - her mind was in a sudden heightened state of energetic jumble. This, as with most of her other emotional states, was reflected in her highly expressive physical countenace. Right now, she appeared to have taken on the characteristics of a banshee; her hair and robes suddenly appeared to be blowing in a wind created only be her own rapid movement, and her face was wide and grim and worried and angry and bemused in varying quantities that varied as the seconds passed.
"Why did you not come straight to me? The Overseer is our treasure! He must be protected! How could you think a bunch of novices would provide him with adequate security?"
Having said that, she glanced back at the Overseer, and jolted backwards once again - whether this is from what she actually saw or from some combination of her own emotions is hard to say. "My Lord, what have they done to you?! You're... you're...! You look...!"
All of this happened very quickly, and she immediately jumped to her feet. The word 'banshee' used earlier to describe her at this moment quickly became very appropriate.
"WHAT ARE YOU ALL SITTING AROUND FOR?? RING THE BELL! SOMEONE, SPREAD THE WORD! GO TO THE KITCHEN AND PREPARE A FEAST! OUR GOD HAS RETURNED TO US! CAN'T YOU SEE?!"
She had noticed Harata's injuries in a cursory fashion, and her mind had decided to file it away for later consideration. The Overseer took precendence over all things.
Dropping her voice, she also dropped to her knees, robes billowing and then settling around her with the speed of her movement. "My Lord, please come with me. Please - we have much to talk about. I must get you some robes...! Your throne is just as you left it, albeit surrounded by curtains - it is on the third floor, can you walk? I may carry you, if you wish -"
...and you will be lonesome.
