GODLY AUDIENCES: ISHIKIRIMARU

[divus]

Comments

[ritualization]

I will look forward to that, then; any assistance you might be able to give would be greatly appreciated.

[Another bow of his head, there.]

While I expect you can't confirm or deny... I still have to ask if you can tell me whether anyone else is doing the same as I intend to.

[he's going to hope there is, regardless.]

[divus]

...I don't think I can confirm or deny yet, but...after the alignment swap. You'll be under me then, and maybe it'll work.

[ritualization]

Then I'll remember to ask again.

[After a longer pause:]

And-- thank you. As I said, he told me he didn't think you'd reject this, but... I am still grateful for your agreement.

[divus]

Likewise, Ishi. I think you and I will work together just fine for as long as you want to stay.
