No, not a monastery. [Nahyuta agrees readily enough.] Until recently that is the life I have lead for a long time, but I do not think it could be sustained here. The practitioners of Khura'inism are limited solely to my family.
[And mixing a lot of different faiths together under one roof? Less a united monastery and more a disparate collective of different kinds of living, ritual, and worship. Staying with his family makes much more sense, even without the personal reasons for doing so.
When Zenyatta accepts, Nahyuta's expression visibly brightens.] Wonderful. [He would have understood if he'd refused, and if it did not suit Zenyatta's beliefs or teaching style, but now he's glad to have asked.] A sanctuary might indeed be the best name for it. I will start to look for a suitable venue, and gather what funds I can. I imagine it will be inexpensive regardless, considering all such a place would need would be a room or hall large enough for hosting lessons.
[Not that either of them would have the money for anything extravagant anyway, he's sure, even if they'd wanted to.]
[Solely to his family? Zenyatta lifts his head a little, startled by the revelation and all the more curious for it; either Khura'in is even smaller than he supposed, or he has a lot more to learn about it than he realised.]
By all means. There are, I am sure, a number of community halls in Verens that might be suitable for such a place. We may have to share the space, but that hardly matters. [So long as they don't end up double-booking a lesson with the local linedancing association, anyway.
Speaking of which.] I have not been accepting payment for most of my work- all I truly need is a suitable outlet and a supply of electricity. Henceforth, I shall accept donations.
[Maybe Nahyuta should have made that clearer -- the only Khura'inists in Verens, at least, are limited to his family. In Khura'in itself is an entirely different story, but that misunderstanding can always be clarified later.]
A supply of electricity, you say? [He cants his head curiously.] Do you require... recharging in some way, in order to maintain your energy levels?
[Nahyuta's not the most technologically astute, being from such a traditional country with a respect for the older, simpler ways over modernity, but he can make a guess at how Zenyatta might function.]
That is correct. I am capable of surviving for more than enough time on a single charge and have some solar capabilities, but one never knows what the future will hold- particularly in a world such as this one.
[That said, he doesn't sound particularly concerned about the possibility of running out of energy.]
No, I suppose not. [Zenyatta sounds confident enough, at least, and he surely knows his capabilities best. Even so--] If you ever find you are in trouble in this land, please let me know. I'm certain we can find some otherworlder who can help you.
[It's worth offering, just in case of some worse case scenario. Steampunk technology can only get them so far.]
[A smile is, of course, beyond Zenyatta, but with a little Empatheian influence he's glowing as if with one anyway, sunlight radiating from his armoured plating with a fresh warmth.]
Your concern is touching, my friend. I have met a few others who share my condition, but whatever help you happen to find will be appreciated wholeheartedly. The same invitation extends to you, of course. If there is any way in which I can help you...
Thank you, Zenyatta. I will keep that in mind for the future.
[His expression visibly brightens in return. Even with his family here, he knows better than expecting to be able to depend on Dhurke for everything and forever. Having others he can count on too, should he ever need it, is a reassurance.]
As for our collaboration, I am afraid for the immediate future I am preoccupied with preparing for my sister's birthday. However, next month I should have the time and the funds available to start this venture between us.

[A hum.]
Until then, there is always the park.
