[ they honestly don't know why he's got so much faith in them when Mizuki has made it abundantly clear from day one that they don't trust any of the gods further than they can throw them; it flies in the face of logic. There are almost certainly better "subjects" among the people here for someone like him. But it makes his sentiments that much sweeter. They reach across the table to tap his nose playfully - or the mask's nose, anyway. ]
[Yeah that doesn't make him grow any more serious. It's a small laugh, and he's practically beaming under the mask which is impressive given it's a mask.]
