[ Open-ish ]

[darkestbefore]

Who: Yona and castmates/adjacent CR
When: The days after the Age-Swap Event
Where: Yona's Temple
What: Catch-all to deal with fallout from the new arrivals and things discovered during the age swap event. Also probably a picnic.


[ The day after time is restored to normal, Yona sticks close to her temple, mind still reeling from what she had learned and the hectic events of the past few days. Between the arrival of her two newest shinki and some of the conversations she'd had with companions over the past few days, taking some time to process it seems the wisest of ideas.

But even though she doesn't venture far from her own temple, it doesn't mean she doesn't welcome anyone who stops by for a visit, clearly happy to greet anyone who stops by. Especially if they are people she needed to talk with anyway.

As for those staying in her temple, she does her best to make sure they get settled and comfortable, answering any questions she can to try and make this new arrangement as smooth as possible. And if there's a sudden resurgence of bad dreams in the aftermath of one particular shinki coming back to live in this place with her... well. She does her best to hide the evidence of it. ]

[She sighs when she glances at him. It's more the affectionate sigh of a girl in love than exasperation, although there's a bit of that.]

Y-Yeah, he's weird. I really like him but it's true that he does all kinds of unpredictable things.

Oh, then Yona didn't invite you? Do you know her or any of her shinki? They look intimidating since they're so tall, but they're cool guys once you talk to them.

[handsome_genius]

No, Yona didn't invite me. But I do know her a little.

[He looks over at her briefly, then Shizuo so he can point at the man. He completely ignores her sigh because he very specifically promised Zeno not to bring up her past to her and even that would be too close a topic for Yoon's comfort, as someone who definitely knows what Blight feels like.]

Yona asked for my help one time along with Shizuo to go visit this other goddess who needed some help. I guess Yona realized Shizuo wouldn't be able to talk gently to a woman or something, and that's why I was asked to join them. Orihime, that was her name. Anyway Yona did most of the talking, but we'd met before that.

How about you? I guess Zeno introduced you to her?

[fadingsunshine]

Ah, I know Orihime! A friend of mine, D2, asked me to go with him when he visited her. She's the only old god I've talked to.

Um. Actually, I saw her talking to Zeno when she arrived, and I approached her on my own because... I'm not sure why. I wanted to see what kind of person she was, maybe. He was so affectionate and happy to see her, I was curious and even a bit jealous. [She shakes her head, embarrassed.] But no matter what, any friend of Zeno is going to get my support!

[handsome_genius]

Jealous? [Her embarassment helps, but it does make him look over at Yona as well. He hadn't considered before that she might be attractive - he'd been so distracted by other things going on - but Kaya talking about her with such a complimentary air... It does stick with him.]

I get that she's a good person, especially to host something like this. [Then he turns back to Kaya, shaking his head.] I think they really are just friends though. Zeno seems kind of... determined to be devoted to people in general? He refused to leave me alone when we first met too, until he was sure I had a temple and a god and a roof over my head. Even after that he kept checking up on me.

[Hopefully that helps...?]

[fadingsunshine]

[It does help, and in a more eloquent way than she could put it.]

Devoted to people seems like a good way to describe him, yeah! When I got here, he went out of his way to get me clothes and nice things. Soon I could see that's how he is with people he likes. Not just with his shinki or the girl he crushes on.

[She has yet to know for sure if that was Zeno's usual generosity or his way of flirting with her early on. The line was pretty blurry.]

[handsome_genius]

[Well that takes some weight off his shoulders, certainly.]

Ah ha, I'm glad you were able to figure that out about him! It's a little difficult sometimes, even for someone he's not crushing on.

[Oh wait they need a new topic before that gets awkward.]

We really should get some spare fabric and teach ourselves to sew like we'd talked about before. Apparently there's several people who enjoy it here. They gather at Hakkai's school, even.
