This is Yukine. Leave a message... if you don't I'm not calling you back.

Tie him up then pour a bucket of cement. Tell him to become a good part of the Tokyo Bay seascape.

[darkduelist]

[What.]

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke?

[returnedfromtheline]

Nope, I'm actually mostly serious about the seascape thing.

My god and I...

It's only recently that he's started listening to me, and I think that it has a lot to do with what we've been through. Yato is an idiot, but he stuck with me through a lot, and I've stuck with him through a lot.

So as for tips, I would say don't hold back in telling your god what you think. He'll feel your anxieties anyway, so better to air everything. And have confidence in your place. You're his exemplar, and the sooner your god accepts that the easier it'll go for everyone.
For me, the key was trust. Maybe there's some sort of saying that goes 'trust is earned'? Anyway, it'll take time, unfortunately.

[returnedfromtheline]

And if you get frustrated and run out of patience, then take out your frustrations on him by sinking him in Tokyo Bay. Or stabbing him with a broken bottle.
Gods can't die by regular means, and it's quite soothing.

[darkduelist]

[Yukine, where you really that kind of person...]

No, I think I'll pass. I'm not that frustrated. [Plus, he doesn't like hurting anyone.]

The problem with my god is that we just don't agree in some cases. Or more than just some. But I'm not his only shinki. The other one is my twin actually. He seems to be getting along with our god better than me.

[returnedfromtheline]

[He is, but let's just say Yato brought the worst out in him and deserved every welt.]

I'm actually glad you're not that frustrated.

[And- right. Yuto's god is Ma'at, and Ma'at had told him he has two shinki-- so they're twins? Well, the hair threw him off, but they do look alike.]

It sounds like your situation is getting a bit complicated.
It was Yuya, right? Are you all right with him being the exemplar? Just because they're getting along well doesn't mean that it's the right thing.

[darkduelist]

[Even if he was that frustrated he wouldn't try doing that. Not too mention that it would be difficult with Vector anyway.]

Yes, it is kind of complicated. We both made a really poor first impression on each other. Or it seems I made a really bad first impression on him.

But you've met Yuya already? I'd be okay with him being the exemplar, but since there's two of us, I don't think this is something I should decide alone.

[returnedfromtheline]

Don't worry. A bad first impression isn't the end-all.

Yah, I met him at the banquet for a little bit.
Don't worry- it's not like a god can't go without an exemplar for a bit while you figure it out. I don't know the rules of choosing when there's more than one shinki, but make sure that you can live with whatever decision you go with.

[darkduelist]

It could have been. He outrightly told me that I should get assigned to a different god.

[Hm.]

What makes you think that I would be better suited for this role than Yuya anyway?

[returnedfromtheline]

Wow, harsh. But you do have the right to change.


And I never said anything one way or the other about who I thought would be 'better suited'. You're just asking me all the questions, so I figured you are at least the most interested.

[darkduelist]

I refused back then. And now I am not going to leave Yuya alone with that guy.

And it's not like I want to be an exemplar. I just think somebody has to teach Vector a few things.

[returnedfromtheline]

I can understand that feeling perfectly. (In both statements, actually.)

Sticking it out with a guy you don't like is tough, but chances are good it'll all work out in the end.

[darkduelist]

I hope you're right.

In any case, thank you for, well, hearing me out.

[returnedfromtheline]

No prob.

Good luck.

[He kinda feels for you, after all.]

[nailed_navigation]

[So proud of you, Yukine. Gold star.]

[returnedfromtheline]

[Just how perceptive are you-?! But thanks?]
