"A nora!" Suijin's shinki hisses with disdain as Ginia begins speaking. Suijin, meanwhile, remains unmoving. The shinki looks to her face - a challenge with the veil - but sees something there that makes him take a step back. Ginia explaining how gods are born also gets him to tense up. "Of all the-" However, as he steps forward again to cut in, he looks once more to Suijin. Whatever the reason, he takes the step back again and doesn't say anything else, giving Ginia room to finish speaking. Then the others join in as well. All the while, Suijin stands still and listens.
Only afterwards does she lift her head. "Could it not be a forgery? Have we any evidence that this man has any tie to the rogue god at all?"
She lifts one hand towards Komaeda. "As voiced by Averruncus, any newly born god is dangerous. Whether defending themselves or knowingly conducting their actions..." She turns towards Ain here: "The only newly-born gods who gracelessly use those dangerous powers without appealing to their seniors for guidance are the Gods of Calamity. They are just as unpredictable as the nora."
Then she looks back at Ginia, staring straight at her. She starts making gestures with her hands while she speaks. "And yet, in their unpredictability, even a nora could present themselves honorably before the Heavens and Our Lady Amaterasu. If she chose." Sure enough, her gestures match up with sign language. "For the memory of Heaven is as long as your time in our Takamagahara has been short. In the face of this great threat to Takamagahara, we could appeal to Fuujin's assessment about all shinki - even the nora - on behalf of one who humbles themselves before us."
She takes three steps closer to Ginia and Ebisu. There, she slowly uses both hands to lift her veil up over her hat, then returns her hands to her side. "I find it hard to believe a single letter could prove so weighty a piece of evidence."
Still, she levels a look down at the young incarnation of the old god. "I will examine this letter." She might be directing it to both of them, but she's looking at Ebisu while she says it.
Then she looks out to the crowd again. "What other proof do any of you have, aside from their absence?"
