It was truly an odd sight.
Unlike any other he had ever seen.
She continued scrubbing with even greater vigor, immersion, and dedication than before.
Ordinarily, Rui would have shrugged with confusion and moved on with his tour of the Gen Temple.
And yet, he couldn't bring himself to move on this time.
He squatted before her, gazing into her eyes.
"You say that I'm right…" he continued with an intrigued tone. "And then you go back to scrubbing the ground. Something seems a bit amiss here, lady…"
She smiled at him brightly. "You are right. That's why I'm training as hard as I can!"
She returned to her task with even greater vigor.
Rui stared at her, mystified.
He was lost.
There was a disconnect between them so fundamental that he wasn't even sure where to begin.
"When I say training…" Rui began with a slow and steady tone. "I mean training your Martial Art. Not training to be the best cleaner in town."
