[This is one of the first people he's spoken to, so he's still figuring out what the shinki know and don't know. So if the new shinki don't know who their god is, then maybe the god wasn't there at the naming? So the shinki... don't know all their names yet?
Yukine passes a hand through his hair, whispering under his breath,] Eh- this is so weird. [But okay, he can do this.]
I guess your situation is way different from how I started. So, you should now have three names. One is Yuuki. The second is the name your god calls to change you into a vessel. And- mmm- okay- let's just use me as an example.
[He points at the 'yuki' kanji on his collarbone again.] My name is Yuki. But everyone calls me Yukine, because it's not good to use the 'true' name too much. [He shrugs a little.] Then the vessel name. This character 'yuki' can also be read as 'setsu', right? So when my god calls me 'Sekki', adding 'ki' [vessel] to the end of the other reading, then I change into my vessel form. I become two swords, that my god uses to kill ayakashi.
You follow me? [Yukine looks a touch strained, trying to explain this much, but he hopes she's getting it. But he wonders- is 'Yuuki' her nickname or her true name? Or, you know, to go with the theme of 'weird', maybe she only has two names?]
and the mun got something wrong already, sorry /o\ *vessel, not sound name
