From: Yoon

It happened again. Two months with Ran. Not even that long with Lance. Sorry, Tlaloc to those who knew him.

[Or so Yoon assumes.]

None of my supplies are here. Keith is, though. I only found one book too.

I'm not sure why I haven't been automatically assigned this time... I made a choice the first time and that didn't help Ran out either.

[He turns the phone upwards, showing the Welcome Hall for new shinki.]

I thought maybe coming back here would help me figure things out. So far it's not doing anything.

[There's a sigh before he puts the camera back on himself.]

I wish there was a book about how to choose the right god.

What do you mean by 'work cut out for me'?

[He's trying to imagine some kind of trial by fire that involves...]

Something to do with Shizuo?

[darkestbefore]

[ Yona just laughs, although there's a hint of a sigh in her voice as well. ] Let's just say, I've begun to wonder if I should start befriending all the gods with a skill for healing. Although so far Hakkai has been very helpful.

[handsome_genius]

Is that lazy guy not protecting you that you're getting that hurt?!

[MOM MODE GO!!! At least with Ran it made sense that he needed it because his powers hurt him.]

[darkestbefore]

[ She blinks for a moment in surprise before she quickly shakes her head, distressed by the misunderstanding. ]

What? No, of course not! Shizuo has always been very good at protecting me. He's not really that lazy, trust me. But he does seem to stumble headfirst into all sorts of trouble himself. While he's excellent at keeping me from getting hurt, he tends to not... take care of himself as much as he should.

[handsome_genius]

[Why does this not surprise Yoon in the least?]

I'll be at your temple soon. Tell me how to find him.

[Not how to find Yoon's reserved room. Shizuo's room or Shizuo himself. Priorities.]

[darkestbefore]

[ That tone is so familiar, so very Yoon, that for a moment she can only laugh, grip tightening around her phone as she blinks back emotion and smiles at him. Gods, she's missed him. ]

He's fine for the moment, I promise. Just... taking it easy for a few days. Fortunately for me, he is very good at obeying a healer's orders. Just bring yourself, Yoon. That's all you need to worry about right now. We'll get everything else sorted from there. Alright?

[handsome_genius]

Yona.

[ His voice is firm. ]

"Just taking it easy for a few days" means he's not fine. You don't have to explain now, but you should tell me when I get there.

[ For all Yona knows, Shizuo is toughing it out and is actually more hurt than he appears. And so Yoon would rather make sure that the guy is healing properly. Resting could very well be the worst thing for whatever hurt he's got. ]

[darkestbefore]

[ She might be worried about that if it were Shizuo who had decided that taking it easy was all he needed. But she trusted Hakkai's healing abilities, especially where Shizuo (and chainsaws, apparently?) were concerned, and the order for a few days of rest and taking it easy had come from him instead when she'd gone to pick her injured shinki up from his temple.

In the meantime, however, she just nods to Yoon. ]

We can talk when you get here. I'll be waiting.

Move to a log or handwave?

[handsome_genius]

[As soon as Yoon finds out Hakkai was involved, he'll likewise be reassured that some amount of solid effort was put into Shizuo's recovery. Right now he just thinks Shizuo's resting and Yona's tending to him as best she can, with no real medical care involved. It's a pessimism that suits emergency situations.]

Okay. I'll come as quick as I can.
