[closed] filling up this house will take some work but it's a start

[skycutter]

Who: Hope (skycutter), Ky (holyorder) and the new addition to the household, Slaine (adept)
What: A shinki is reassigned to Hope, and he takes time to bond with his shinki.
When: A little after Slaine loses his old god and has had time to process.
Where: Hope's house that he refuses to call a temple.
Warnings: Bit of angst, bit of awkwardness, but nothing trigger-worthy.



[Naming a new shinki is really strange, but Hope thinks the worst part is seeing how the person dies. He's had to do it with Ky, and now he has to do it with his new shinki, and Hope clenches his hand into a fist in an attempt to stop the trembling as the images flash through his head.

Hope, at least, isn't the type to sob even if he witnesses terrible things. He simply rubs a hand to his head and waits for the scene to end, sighing when it's finally over.]

We should... [Pause. Swallow. Get his voice back to levels that don't sound hoarse.]

We should talk to my other shinki and let him know.

[Hope beckons his new companion to follow him, heading out into the hallways and calling:]

KY??

[ Ky is instantly up and jogging over towards the source of the voice, recognizing it as his God's. It doesn't sound like an emergency, but he moves quickly anyway. There's no reason to keep someone waiting when he wasn't doing anything of importance.

He slows his pace when he spots Hope and the familiar young man near him. Slaine, wasn't it? They had met before — during the festival with the boats. Ky addresses Hope first. ]

Yes, sir? Is everything all right?
