Who: Kairi and Goten
What: Prayer Answering on their gods' behalf
When: June 22nd, afternoon/evening
Where: Heligoland, Germany, Near Shore
Warnings: n/a this is Kairi and Goten for crying out loud

---
Kairi and Goten are off on an adventure to answer a prayer in Aymeric's absence, since Goten wants to impress this god enough he'll stick around. Poor Goten is on God #3. Since Aymeric is Forseti, they learn that the beseecher - whose fish traps are getting their fish eaten after hauled in - is located on "Heligoland." For starters, where on earth is that?

[Kairi pulls Goten onto Nimbus with her.]

We can't stay to find out. Both Aymeric and Roxas will know we got hurt if we don't fix this soon.

[She's getting a little blight too just from pulling Goten against her, but she doesn't care right now - she pats Nimbus.]

Come on Nimbus, back to that shrine on the mainland - we need holy water and fast.

[She clings tight with one hand to Goten and the other onto the fluff of the cloud as it zooms off in a streak, Kairi's hair whipping around her as they fly.]

[Looking at his hands, Goten frowns at them. The palms are a nasty purple similar to the color of those fish they passed on the way to the ayakashi's hideout. Goten blinks when he's pulled onto the Nimbus and he looks to Kairi]

Huh? But they're not here with us, how will they get hurt?

[Are those ayakashi after them too? But...the ayakashi are trapped under the rubble. He doesn't stop kairi or nimbus. Kairi knows more about this shinki stuff then he does after all. His hands just...really hurt]

[Kairi sighs and hugs him closer.]

That's how blight works, Goten. If our gods get blighted, we don't feel it.

[She says from personal experience with a rueful tone in her voice, but doesn't come right out and say it was Roxas who got blighted.]

But if we get blight on us, then our gods feel it too.

[Thankfully they arrive at the shrine and Kairi tugs on Goten's hand towards the holy water.]

And since Aymeric only has you, he won't have to guess why he's feeling that way. Roxas won't know right away who it was, so I need to send him a message right away, as soon as we get us both taken care of.

[And she locates a little bowl to fill up and splash right onto the worst of Goten's blight.]

19/20!!

Huh, but that's not fair! I thought if I got blighted that was just on me...

[Goten looks devastated. He didn't think any of that at all. He's not use to having a god around to worry about this kind of thing. It never happened with Archie or Hazel. When he had gotten blighted before, he didn't have a god so it didn't come up. But..Aymeric can feel this too? He frowns, staring down at his blighted hands--- Wait, how did Kairi get blighted? He looks at her confused, looking her up and down before they arrive at the shrine. He doesn't resist her as she tugs his hand to the holy water, only winches a little]

B-but you didn't touch the ayakashi. Why would you and Roxas be hurt?
[WHY IS EVERYONE GETTING HURT FROM HIS BLIGHT?!?!]

20/20!! <3

[pure_radiantics]

Well... when you were by yourself that was true.

[She pours more water on him and then herself as well. While the water is taking effect, Kairi sends a message to Roxas so that he won't worry as much as if she hadn't said anything at all. She tries to look sympathetic at Goten.]

Blight can spread when we touch someone else who's blighted... and... I felt really bad about you getting hurt. Our gods can feel that sort of... guilty feeling we have.

[With them both clean of it though, she reaches down to hug him.]

We can't ever prevent getting blighted, Goten - I don't think we can, anyway, even when we're really careful. It's okay that it happens. What matters is that we came here right away to take care of it. And I just told Roxas about it too, so he doesn't have to wonder if Raichi or Senri got hurt. Maybe just... don't grab Ayakashi by their tails next time, okay?

[She gives him a light kiss on his forehead for reassurance though.]
