Then I will pray that they continue to surprise us both here, in the best of ways.
[Ishi's smile is soft, head slightly bowed; with such small numbers to begin with, something like that may well be necessary for a chance of achieving their goals. They'll all just have to do what they can.]
[His answer, meanwhile, takes no contemplation at all.]
Of course I will. As often as you'd like.
[If they're to be working together here, it only makes sense, and beyond that-- Ishi would like to keep an eye on them, and ensure he's there if they need him.]
Do you have a way to call on us as well, or shall I just make sure to contact you regularly?
Yes. Once the game begins, there won't be any restrictions on communications between gods and champions. I'll be able to come see you, or anyone else, at any point in time.
[It's a little nervewracking, knowing they'll have to put themselves out there for everyone and hope they'll be amenable...but exciting not have to hide away and wait, as well.]
Thank you so much. And, of course, I can't say enough that if you ever need anything from me, just answers to questions or anything more than that, I'm always ready to do whatever I can to assist you.
No, just getting to know who I have to count on has been more than enough for today. Please make sure to get plenty of rest while things are still so calm.

[Here, Piety is clearly getting excited, passion rising in their voice.]
No matter what happens, they never fail to do something unexpected. It's always, always made me feel so...hopeful.

They already seem like an interesting group.

[Piety takes a moment of quiet contemplation before posing another question.]
Will you do me the pleasure of letting me enjoy your company often?
no subject
Of course I will. As often as you'd like.

[If he's occupied with anything else, well, it's unlikely to be anything so pressing that he can't set it aside to speak with them.]
And should you find you have any troubles with the others, I will do what I can to help.
no subject
[Piety nods their head politely toward Ishi.]
Any headway that I make is bound to be a direct result of your steadfast support.
no subject
[He bows his head in turn, hands clasped.]
...But I am not unused to that, either. I will see to it that you aren't disappointed in your choices.
no subject
[A piety that exists perhaps not due to a religious belief, but a belief at all in goodness.]
If it's ever unbearable, please let me know.
no subject
[Being able to do that, to believe in others so easily-- it's something that shouldn't be stifled, he thinks.]
A little care in doing so may not be misplaced, but I am willing enough to be cautious on your behalf, as well.

no subject
[...by which he means he's probably just going to do things himself, for the most part. It's how he functions.]
Nor do I intend to take up too much of your time, particularly now. I'm sure I am not the only one you need to speak with.
no subject
[This one is used to taking on the burden of others, haha.]
I feel that my time won't be too particularly overburdened, regardless.
no subject
May you make good use of that time, then-- though from what I've heard so far, I doubt that will be a problem for you.
[Another warm little smile, there.]
For right now, though, shall I let you get on with any preparations you still need to make, or is there anything else you need from me?
no subject
No, just getting to know who I have to count on has been more than enough for today. Please make sure to get plenty of rest while things are still so calm.
no subject
[With that, he stands and prepares to go, offering Piety another bow once on his feet.]
