"Thanks, Hakkai-san. It's good to know you're at my back, really."

Although Yukine would be much more inclined to first reach out to a 'old' god or shinki for backup, it is genuinely good to know that people like Hakkai-san are there for him too. And who knows. Depending on the situation, maybe it would be better to go with backup from someone like him.

Either way, he won't worry too much about that now. Yato and him should be enough.

"I'd better get going. I was tempted to tie Yato to a tree so he wouldn't take off without me again... He promised he wouldn't, but I don't want to push my luck."

He grins ruefully, then bows slightly to Hakkai.

"Thanks again. I'll see you again soon."
