I'll do my best. [She can't see the smile behind the mask, but it's there given the way they speak and the way their posture shifts.]
I suppose optimism is a strength of mine, yes, but I also believe that it's possible for everyone to form attachments even if it's with only one person. It only takes one to start. The difference, really, is if people are willing to try and not give up on other people.
Of course not, but I thought it was most polite to ask. [Just saying.] In the interest of forming attachments and not giving up on people, I've made it my own task to begin getting to know everyone in the temple, not just those who have chosen to align themselves with me. It hardly makes sense to wait for everyone to come to me when I'm perfectly capable of extending an invitation.
My favorites align with yours. [That is to say, Beauty is fond of Love, though:] Sincerity and I are friends, and Piety is a wonderful person. Lady Love is very sweet as well. As of you...my followers, of course, but I've enjoyed meeting with everyone so far. First impressions are important, after all.
[Thanks Nonon.] Things will change with time, Jakuzure-san, believe me. But I hope they'll be a good change despite where the numbers may fall. Your patron and I have a bit of an alliance, if you will. She'll look after my own and likewise for myself.
[Until they get competitive, but that's a whole other story.] Same for Sincerity.
[ One with the potential for death, for a lot of death, but it's easier to talk of it like it's gossip and like she's not taking it seriously even though she is. ]
But it's nice to know I don't have to be quite as wary with you and can play music with you a bit more freely— until when that time comes.

[ She shifts in her chair to sit up straighter. ]
So why else did you want to see me? It can't just be about the living arrangements.

[ She laughs and leans forward, her hand hovering over another treat before she asks her next question. ]
Do you have any favorites? Of the gods? Of all of us?
[ She makes a bet with herself on what kind of answer Beauty will give. ]

[ She happily helps herself to more sweets. ]
But all of that is good to know! Thank you.

[ She's still wary. ]

And in that time I hope we learn more about each other. Not to mention the room is yours to play even if I'm not here.

[ It's good to have explicit permission, not that she'd care if she didn't get cursed, but... ]
How often are you here?
no subject
I'm here more often than not even if people are unaware. Not to mention it's my domain, so I have a good understand of who is and isn't here.
no subject
[ it's a stuffed animal!! she has many. ]
So nothing that happens in here is a secret to you.
no subject
Nothing that happens in here is a secret unless another god chooses to enter my domain with a participant...otherwise, I'm aware.
no subject
[ Her determination laces her voice and burns bright in her eyes. ]
That's good to know. Thank you. Is that the same for every other god?
[ She's assuming yes, but it never hurts to know for sure. ]
no subject
But yes that's correct. Some of us check in more than others, but we are capable of knowing and seeing around the temple at will.
no subject
That makes sense. Thank you again for answering my questions. [ Somehow, Beauty is the more straightforward than she thought they'd be...? Wild. ]
I think I've taken up enough of your time today. I'll come back to you once I can play music again.
