Re: Chapter 1: Jita Patel
Sweets of Ganesha, what have I entered upon?, she wondered, while keeping a cool facade. Perhaps this would work in her favor--the eldest student might not have hears of her, and she might be able to demonstrate her value before judgments set in.
She bowed formally, holding her bag out of the way as she bent. "Hello, honored Brother. My name is Apirijita Patel, and I seek lodging during my stay in Victoria Station. I am happy to lend my services to help the temple during my stay. "
Everything she was doing was technically correct. She hoped that her reputation might take some time in following her here.
