Sotero shakes his head. "I don't have a shinki, and I don't really have many shrines. 'Cause I'm new."

"The one I do have isn't too good to stay at, so, anyway, I just want the option. Not like I'm going to use it for sure. I can get my own food and clothes if I have to."

Although, if Ebisu's trying to keep his presence there a secret, it might be easier for Ebisu to provide food and clothing... Sotero eyes the other god, uncertain.
