( When Urashima wakes up, he smells salt on the air and hears waves splashing on the shore. It's different from what he's become used to waking up to-- fresh water, bubbling ponds, the wind blowing through the garden. He sits up quickly in the sand, and finds himself staring out into the sea. Clouds form on the horizon and he can feel in the air that it won't be long before it starts to rain. This isn't Eris' temple and he understands exactly what's happened. So this is where the Heavens want him to be? He looks down the shore both ways and then turns to look back. He can see trees and homes. That must be the temple, he thinks.
He'll go to investigate later. Just give him a minute. He sits on the sand, knees pulled close to his chest, chin resting on his folded arms, looking out at the sea. Kamekichi sits next to him and he pets her shell. )
Mmm, I wonder where Chinatsu-chan is...
( He'll meet his new god first and then look for her. She's a strong person, he thinks.
She'll be fine for a little while. )
for Chinatsu
( After getting in touch with her, Urashima sets out to meet Chinatsu. She's been here for a little while but it isn't as long as him. This is her first time losing a god and he remembers how that feels. When he finally meets Chinatsu again, he arms himself with a smile and calls out to her as brightly as ever, )
Chinatsu-cha~an!~

Then we'll find another god. We'll be okay, really! (Really!!) It's not your fault. Sometimes people go away and that's really sad and scary... but as long as we're here, we'll be okay.

...Isn't that why you got assigned another god and I wasn't?
[Hearing that he got one already, she figured she was being punished or something.]
no subject
That's not it! (It absolutely isn't the reason. He doesn't know why but...) When I my first god went away, I had to find someone too.
Ah... but I think... I also had to find myself, you know?

(He hums, trying to find a way to explain it. When Pippa left, he was convinced he'd done something wrong. He'd helped destroy her first shinki and then she disappeared. Of course, it doesn't make sense now but it did back then. It had taken him awhile to realize that's just how this place works-- people come and people go. He learned a lot about the limits of being a spirit with a god and he learned a lot about the other people here-- the people he could trust, the people he could rely on, and so on.)
I think... it's different for everyone. But I learned a lot about the Far Shore when I was nameless. And in the end, I got to pick a god I knew was right for me.
no subject
[Right, that's what she was now. She was just getting used to the name they gave her too. It made her heart sink a little. Still, the thought of picking her own god and learning more in general changed her perspective on the the situation.]
That's not too bad, I guess.
no subject
(he gives her hands one more squeeze,)
Just don't wander around too much, okay? I don't want you to get lost.
no subject
[Says the person who was lost the first time she met Urashima. She does appreciate his concern though, squeezing his hand back. In fact, that he didn't just ditch her once their god was gone was a big deal to her, and she was very grateful for that.]
