[ Yona's lips twitch at this explanation, amusement flitting briefly in her gaze as she inclines her head. ]

Sometimes it takes time to get comfortable with one another, not everyone here gets along right from the start. But you're wrong about him not needing you. I'm assuming you mean a Soulless? Many of us start off with them here, but they cannot fulfill the same role as a shinki can. In fact, most of the gods here are rather unnerved by the Soulless entirely. Besides. A god and a shinki are meant to be partners. Your god cannot be prepared for every situation out there, or everything this place will throw at him. Often it is our shinki's insight or perspective that helps balance us when it comes to dealing with the problems we face. That's something a Soulless cannot do - they're just there to be used, but they can't offer more help than that.
