[He has his fingers crossed that someone else will... please help keep his god company while he's gone...
Ishi nods, though. I definitely just realized he started this off holding Piety's hands but you know what? I'm not changing that. It's still happening.]
I assumed as much, but I was unsure if it would outright be explained. I will accept it if it happens, though-- it seems a fair enough trade for living.
[I can't believe I'm going to be able to say that Ishi's hands have been held and terrorize people now this is great tbh
He exhales a sigh, there, nodding.]
I... had gotten that impression, honestly, considering a thing or two he's said when we've spoken. Perhaps those of us with long lives are simply more prone to it.
[joke's on you i'm 2 years old and the saddest damn person i know]
Thank you--I'm really relieved to hear it. He focuses so much of his energy on those he feels the need to protect that he doesn't save enough for himself. What he needs...is someone who believes in him.

Merriment will look after you.
[Piety clenches his hands inside of Ishi's.]
Sometimes, despite his title...he can be prone to melancholy. I hope your presence will cheer him the way that it cheers me.

I will see what I can do for him.

...then I will.
[He nods, slow and deliberate.]
You have my word on that.
