[ Being a Godless Shinki, he really had no responsibilities to protect anyone other than himself. Even more so that he was able to avoid being without a God for too long. He's pretty certain this was against some kind of code that neither the Gods or whatever punished him for yet.
He had considered and played with the thought of getting a God for himself, but there was no one that particularly piqued his interest-- except one. He's been mulling on that thought since the first day they met. Even now, he still couldn't really forget that strange tug he had towards the other. Despite not knowing much even now, he was able to at least piece small things together.
Except-- Zero had forgotten everything prior to his return and Ichiru made no efforts to bring up anything other than creating lies to indulge the other in-- or perhaps to play with his brother to his heart's content. Some part of him had already accepted that there was some sort of familial bond that transcends even his amnesia.
Unlike Zero, he was in his own thoughts without being in the hot spring. Instead he eyed the injury on the other's shoulder. Careless.... Then again it wasn't like Ichiru didn't gain his own injuries from what had happened. He was much better at hiding them. ]
after party; have tl'dr :D
