In a darkened room a man sighed. ”I better answer the phone, otherwise I'll never be able to meditate in peace.” The man pulled a phone out of the pocket stitched into the lining of his robe. ”Hello?”
A lovely voice permeates from the speaker pressed against the man's ear, ”did I disturb your practice?”
”No.” The corners of the man's mouth rose as he responded.
”Dad I need a favor.”
”Anything for you Little Star.” The man sitting alone in the dark room was rather curious as to what kind of favor his precious daughter Falling Star would need. After all, she had surpassed him in both fame and power long since.
”Do you still have connections in the disciple registration office?”
”Eh? You've finally found a disciple? I do, but why do you need help with that? The registration isn't too difficult.”
”Well, you see this is a bit complicated. I need someone who won't ask for background information.”
”Am I about to have grandchildren?” Falling Star's father got really excited.
”Eh? What's this I hear about grandchildren?” In another room, Falling Star's mother picked up the other phone once she heard grandchildren.
”There are no grandchildren!” Falling Star sighed at the direction the conversation had gone. ”I just found a very unique individual that I want to train and don't want their life to get complicated due to certain details about them that I'd rather remain hidden.”
”So, you've found us a son-in-law?” Falling Star's mother asked.
”NO! No son-in-law, no grandchildren! Just an interesting young man that I've agreed to teach.”
”That's too bad,” Falling Star's father said. ”We've always wanted grandchildren!”
”Dad! Can we get back to the topic at hand?!”
”I thought grandchildren was the topic?” Falling Star's mother asked.
