     ‘ … ‘

he’s happy he managed to coax a smile to her lips, but the loaded answer which comes as a response to his question ensures a heaviness damned to weigh down his chest; and yet, even if it is merely a phantom, a smile remains on his own so long as one remained on hers.

gaze, parting from objects mostly obscured by darkness anyways, returns to the seated girl, just as her own query reaches his ears.

‘ more importantly. ‘ the deity finds himself resenting – no; perhaps the repulse is more tinged in self-condemnation rather than a more general aversion – the precursor to the question. he was a god  (  a god of FORTUNE , no less  )  , she, but a human  (  half-phantom, he supposed  )  . one who had paid him – believed in him – to bring said fortune. how was his well-being possibly more important than hers?

      ‘  well, it’s the usual. ‘  he does admit.                       ‘ … but it’s nothing that i can’t bounce back from.  ‘

spoken with a sardonic lift, the statement bears with it some genuine pomposity, though in actuality it served as a slightly more dressed avoidance.

     ‘  don’t worry about me,  ‘  it probably comes off more harsh than he intended, but he meant at least half of the harshness relayed.  ‘  worry more about yourself.  ‘

stepping forward, it’s the first action he’s taken to close the distance between himself and the half-phantom. in the slightly more illuminated moment as a cloud passes and allows the moon its pale glow, the deity catches his first clear vision of the girl’s slight silhouette.

     ‘  hey, are you feeling okay? you look pale.  ‘

he notes, not so much as a breath separating each statement, as the deity leans forward with his weight on one hand and the girl’s plush mattress. with his free one, he rests it gingerly under brown bangs, and onto her forehead.

     ‘  you don’t have a fever, do you?  ‘

Cyan is transient against an unrelenting dark, alternating wide to undetectable, they were solemnly intent on the half-phantom situated across the room. From his perch just outside a window, he wordlessly beckons for some sort of acknowledgement: permission to pass over the threshold into humanity.

What is so eagerly awaited eventually comes murmured, almost weak, but this doesn’t do much by means of dampening the deity’s elation, and wholly consumed by said sentiment, the leap over the windowsill that lands him on her bedroom floor is a fluid, practiced motion, knees bending to a squat as they accommodate for the landing. He stands up easily, although slight nuances in countenance and hesitance in his step would betray his conscience. He approaches slowly, and halts abruptly a few paces from the girl  ( a true testament to how much time must have past ) for fear of … something.

        ❛    Yep,                   it’s me !    ❜

The lift in his voice was feigned through a breathy whisper, a toothy smile and an animated wink placed strategically to compliment the response. 

        ❛    … How’re you  …  ?    ❜

Slackening from his prior position deftly, Yato slips his hands into his pockets  ( in an effort to constrain them, to keep them from wandering about her possessions )  as eyes and body aimlessly traverse the shadow-bathed room. He speaks to reflections of her rather than shifting to face the physique, his own voice maintaining the pattern of hush henceforth established.
