[There's a silence following the emotional force of Yu's admission, and finally after a long moment, Piety stands, bridging the gap between them, and places a hand on his shoulder. The god's hand is gentle and small, and there's an overall calming aura about them.]
You aren't a coward. You're loyal. You're deeply kind. Never doubt these things.
[ ... he hadn't meant to come in here and spill his guts like this. He'd wanted to apologize, not make the god feel sorry for him. His head jerks up when Piety walks over, and the expression on his face is complicated indeed when the god lays a hand on his shoulder.
Yu takes a breath, and ... lets it out in a gusty sigh, his head hanging between his shoulders for a moment. ]
I'm sorry for this, too. Making you comfort me for my own mistake. [ But he'll look up again with a hangdog smile. ] You're very understanding. Thank you.
Please, don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone is entitled to their emotions--in fact, it makes them stronger. And besides, I'm happy to lend a supporting hand whenever I'm able!
[Up close like this, despite the way that Piety carries themself, despite the elevated manner of speech, it's more obvious just how young they seem to be, underneath those decorations.]
If I can in any way make you feel better about what happened, I'm here to listen any time.

All I'd like is to get to know you, [ he'll say honestly. ] What sort of person you are.
