you said when i showed up i was supposed to be like a guide or something, right?

Like a moral compass.

That's what the older gods say, at least.

then i get to tell you to stop being a hypocrite.

[...???]

What do you mean?

if the situation was reversed, wouldn't you be worried?

[Look she has just noticed he worries a lot.]

i'm worried because you've been nice. i like you. i screwed something up. i want to worry about it.

If I were a shinki.

[Um, hold on, he has to imagine it.]

As much as I would want to work with my partner, I also understand that sometimes there are times where different skills are needed. The more people I could work with the greater range of situations I could take on. And again, I'd consider entering into other partnerships my own choice, though I'd probably discuss it with my god after the fact.

Where I'm from I''m used to temporary partnerships, even if there are people who I work best with.

i meant more along the lines of accidentally got people talking badly about you.

[but yeah she was worried about that too]

i'm not used to anything right now. i just want to find a normal. the only thing that's felt normal since i woke up here is cooking at the school and worrying.

i don't want to be a nora. it would feel weird, knowing anybody could call me whenever they wanted. it's weird enough now. and i still don't think i'm a lot of help in a fight. it's fine with you because you can fight like that. not everybody can.

i don't like it.

Ah. Yeah, I would be upset if I accidentally made people think badly of my partners.

You can cook if it'll help you feel better. Give me a grocery list and I'll go out and get it.

You'd get a different form per god you worked with though. But, I respect your decision. You don't have to do anything that makes you anymore uncomfortable than you are.

i can get it, you don't have to.

[She just has to find money. Or a part time job she can work with people barely able to focus on her.]

what if the next form is just the headphones, though? it could get better, or it could get a lot worse. i don't want to risk worse.

[He does have a part time job.]

I go out everyday. Plus I'm supposed to take care of your needs.

Even if the weapon form is less combat oriented, you'd have a different power you'd be able to lend them.

i don't want to be taken care of.

[let her at least feel useful to herself.]

that could be worse, too.

Alright.

[He's still responsible for her, but he won't mention it then.]

Or it could be better. There's a range of things that could happen, but if you aren't going to do it, then there's no reason to dwell on it.

[He's giving her a place to say and that's enough, right?]

... what kind of food do you like, then?

My favorite is katsudon, but I like all Japanese food.

that's pretty broad.

i think i can manage katsudon.

Cold soba is pretty good too?

if that home ec class was worth anything i think i can manage cooking anything fine if i work on it.

i don't think i'll be able to cook tonight, but...

is it okay if i do in the future? once i find a job?

[For both of them, not just herself.]

It's alright if you'd like to.

We could make a chore board?

chore board?

So we can trade chores, so you don't have to cook every night if you don't want to.

I can cook alright.

i mean if you want. i like cooking.

i don't hate cleaning, either. i like having something to do.

I'd feel bad if you did everything, it's my house too.

but you're letting me stay here and you don't have to. i want to earn my keep somehow.

You're my partner, of course I'm going to let you stay at my temple.

that's not an of course.

you don't have to.
