When she first puts the mask on, she cries, but the tears run down her cheeks and make her face itch, so she stops. She knows that it is a great honor to be dedicated to the Gods, and she doesnt mind being a Priestess, but now she can never touch another who does not wear the symbol of the gods again. She would kill them if she did.
When Lance meets the Priestess, he sees a little girl crying inside, and he pities her, but he feels little else. His service is to Lugia-sama, so he wears the bracelets of power on his arms, and it helps ground him.
He has to ground her, because for the first week she is in the Temple, the power of Parukia overwhelms her, and she sparks with lightning so she cant do anything. He brings her food and water and bathes her despite her protests, and dresses her in the proper robes of white and lavender.
Red thinks he is rude, but at the same time, she finds his attentions endearing, and so, its nice to have a friend, or at least someone to talk to, with her, while they orient themselves to better serve their respective deities.
Lance wonders if shes hideously ugly behind the mask, but doesnt ask, and she doesnt ask him questions either.
Theyre not in love, but theyre alone and together at the same time, so its better than nothing.
And when he leaves with Lugia for a month to do dream training, she finds that she actually misses him.
Isn't it funny how things turn out?
Theirs isnt a love story, but it works.

Nothing like killing a bunch of defenseless Rattata on your Game Boy Advance to inspire you to write again just kidding!
