Comments

[She might be taller than him, too.....

Xie Lian nods at her comment and, freed from her embrace, begins looking around ag--no, he wrenches his gaze back to her face after a moment, scratching his cheek with a lopsided smile.]

With a setup like this, I suppose I am, haha...though I'm not sure how many people will actually bother praying to me. [Ahem.]

--This really is beautiful though! Did you build it yourself? Regardless of whether we get visitors or not, I'm sure to visit every day if I can.

[pyrafect]

[ Ah, he’s learning. ]

The structure itself, yes! I was thinking about... oh, you know, if you’re a martial god, it’s not like there are wars for others to pray to you about in the first place. But, if nothing else, I thought placing this shrine near the woods would be good— because one would need protection from any hostile beasts that can be encountered within.

As for the statue itself... have you met Saber? She is the same kind of spirit as Archer, but she’s also an emperor and an artist. [ Her tone softens noticeably as she speaks of Nero; she really can’t hide her gratefulness and admiration . ]

[holycurse]

Saber...ah, she sang a song for me once, I recall. [Does she introduce herself as an emperor and artist to everyone she meets, then? Not that he'd be surprised, royalty can be like that--

But he looks over at the statue again, marveling.] Are you saying she built it, then? I must say she's exceptionally talented...but such work must have cost something. Was it a lot? Is it anything I can help you with?

[In the end, the trouble she went through to put this shrine together is the important thing here.]

[pyrafect]

Well.... [ She smiles, faintly embarrassed and lost. ] I'm not sure what exactly there is to do now that there is this shrine.

What do you have to do all day, anyway, now that it's built? Stay here and wait for people to come pray to you.

[ .... ]

Should we build, ah, ..something like an on-call room? Like they have for doctors in the hospital!

[holycurse]

Aha, well, I certainly could stay and wait here...there's really no need for another room though, considering I've already got a place to stay nearby. [He holds up a hand as he speaks, still a little embarrassed by her enthusiasm.

Which he shouldn't be! He's a god! Enthusiastic followers are normal! But feelings are hard to control, especially when the follower in question is...Pyra.]

I'll make sure to come here every day regardless, and small as the town is, it should be easy enough to answer whenever someone makes a prayer.

[pyrafect]

[ So... what... does that mean that prayers just float around the air until he comes to the shrine and picks them and picks them out of the smoke? ]

...Oh! Should they be writing their prayers down on paper for you to read when you do come by, then?

[holycurse]

[Sshh it'd god magic or something, they don't explain that in the book]

Oh no, it's fine! I'll receive their prayers regardless--hearing it in person or getting it on paper is helpful, but certainly not necessary.

[To be more accurate he doesn't want her to go to any more trouble than she has.....]
