[ Lu Meng will see the main face of her personality: her happiness. It's coupled with her rather simplistic and caring nature, as she tends to her cleaning. While she may hum, while she may make a game out of her tasks, while it may appear as if she's not treating this serious-- in reality, she is paying attention to all the little details and nuances to cleaning. She makes sure no corner is left unsweeped, no shelf left undusted, and no table unvarnished. She doesn't stop with a particular section until she's satisfied, that is, being able to see her beaming reflection on each polished surface.

It's at one of these surfaces that she also catches his reflection, and it's then that she notices him glancing at her. With a laugh she waves at him via the reflection, knowing that they've made eye contact. And then it's back to work.

As for the bunnies, it takes her a while to learn how to catch one on her own. Mistakes are made, she jumps to soon, she swipes too quickly, she becomes disappointed, she apologizes for failing, her mood plummets..... and then she tries again, happy as ever. However patience is a virtue, and with his instruction she'll be able to catch a few the traditional hunter's way, just as he teaches. She forgoes using any miracles for these captures, and he'll find that for anything involving cleaning, she won't use her miracles.

Should he ask, she'll simply reply that she enjoys it and that it's not a bother to her. It reminds her of her home, and she feels comfort in knowing that others will enjoy a clean and nice living space once she's moved onto the next temple.

Which happens to be one that's over water, clouded in a fine mist from the spring, still and pure, seemingly untouched for centuries. The torii looms overhead the quiet and tranquil waters, a gate to a holy, untouched place that reverberates in serenity. Beyond the fine mist one can make out a few buildings that are built above the water, but their detail remains obscured. It's hers, although perhaps she just doesn't know it yet.

And she's brought dust bunnies. ]
Hmmmm.... this place might need cleaning, too.
