[ It seems he comprehends that a shinki's aide also helps a god better understand, and even relate, to their followers. And in Sanae's mind, it helps the gods better serve their followers, because she believes that that is what the gods must do. ] ...Yes, that's exactly it.
[ His humbleness makes her smile, and she withdraws her hand from his chest, remaining kneeling in front of him. A wise man would be able to identify when he may be lacking in wisdom, after all, and she wonders if she sees that particularity of his admittance. But it shouldn't be surprising, not when she's speaking to someone as legendary as him.
Peraps because she knows who he is and from what stories he hails,when he salutes to her and swears his allegiance, she feels a bit undeserving once again. He's promising guidance and loyalty only through his confidence in the gods.She hasn't exactly proved herself to him just yet, has not yet earned it. And so-- ] Likewise, I swear that I will earn your devotion and trust... to become someone for whom you are proud to be a shinki, as well as a god strong enough to bring happiness and content to anyone who may need it.
[ She smiles then, the last remnants of her tears finally subsiding. She's happy that he appears to have a new conviction for this new life-- and he's strong and admirable for turning his despair into fuel for his duty and purpose so soon. She hopes that she can make this new world as peaceful and satisfying for him as possible. It's the least she can do.
At length, Sanae decides that she, too, should perform that same salute. It seems only right, doesn't it? She presses her first to an open palm, bowing her head. ] Thank you.
