Either This Is Altitude Sickness, Or I'm Having Fun [Ava]

Maybe climbing a mountain just to get to a religious dwelling wasn't the best idea...

After being able to clear her head with whatever Ulv had struck into her mind, Ava had time, time to think of how much of a depressive ass she had been the past months, and how much she had to make up to the Naku clan. She was plenty guilty for giving up what would have been a good thing for her, but she let her fear of negative repercussions possess her actions.

And thus, she decided, that though she wished to go back and apologize, she didn't think she even could. She didn't think they'd even listen to her, and even if.. Who said she wouldn't revert back to that state, that this heightened state of mood wouldn't end? Thus, she decided to exercise in forming connections, no matter how stressful it was.

And her first move was to climb a mountain. Well, it was what was at the top of the mountain she wanted; She had contemplated religion for quite some time, but never had the energy or thought to really go on it. Now it was something she'd push herself to accomplish, to become a better person.

Problem is, mountains were big. And the equipment, while she could afford it just fine with the surplus of funds she had accumulated from her rather.. Illegal endeavors, it didn't stop it from being fucking heavy. She was four hours into the trip and already had to stop several times, slews of complaints aimed at nobody and intended for no soul. Simply venting; backpacking was annoying, boring, and long, and this was her first time.

Soon she'd be halfway up, feeling a bit dizzy, but looking upon the beauty of Japan. Though it wasn't night, where she would think this would be the worst and coldest time, but also the prettiest time to view the landscape below her, it was still amazing. Did she ever come up this high, ever in her life? Not to her recollection. She dwelled there for a bit, mind off task, being able to smile for the first time in quite a while as she rested.. Til she quickly remembered why the hell she was up here, scooped up the bag, and got back to dragging herself against the weight of gravity.

Going and going and going... Walking on a mountain was boring as fuck.. Foot hit a rock, close calls of near falling down... Sun was starting to set, which also was rather pretty. She was exhausted from all the walking, til she finally reached her destination at the summit, not being able to help but... Stare. Stare at the temple before her.

"Uhhh..." She let out a mid-level verbalization of her amazement, brain-dead tiredness, and confusion, "..Hello?"
