Date: Sept 8th 2016 [Backdated, Oct 27th 2017] 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.

I know you probably have some good offers already, but if you ever need an extra place to crash for a night, you know how to get a hold of me.

[That's... all he really wants to say at first, but the rest of Yoon's message gives him a moment of pause.]

If I had any advice for you, I'd give it. I hope you can figure something out, though.

[He saw the giant mecha lion a couple of times but it doesn't occur to Yoon that Keith will be sleeping there.]

I know how to get ahold of you, but where are you going to be crashing? I thought I'd share with you at Yona's for the night at least.

[Priorities. God selection second.]

[Ah...]

Red's spacious enough to fit a couple of people in easy, I can manage by myself until I figure something else out.

You sleep inside your pet.

[That sounds so weird. You're so weird, Keith.]

It's not a pet.

[Because that would be weird, don't make it weird Yoon, gosh.]

It's a big cat. Of course it's a pet.

[Look he doesn't get Mecha, Keith.]

[Look, he understands this, but still.]

If it were a pet I'd have to... [Hang on, he's got this,] Feed it and take it for walks and stuff. It isn't actually alive [probably??] so it's not a pet.

Wait, if it's not alive... how does it move around when you're not in it?

[It sounds like a boat just floating along with the currents without anyone paddling. Or like a magic gama. Is Keith a magician?]

[You know, that's... a very good question.]

I... don't actually know. Lance always said it was something like 'magic space science', but I never got it. [A beat, then,] I don't think he really knew for sure, either.

Besides, it's not like it moves a lot on its own. [Clearly this makes some kind of difference?]

[Yep. A boat in the currents, then. Some kind of weird movement that was just the lion being moved by some external force. Obviously that made more sense than magic.]

O..kay....

So you can sleep there. But you can't eat in there - it's not like it has a kitchen to make food.

[He assumes.]

So you should still come to Yona's when I make meals.

[He assumes right! But Keith also knows that, as a shinki, he doesn't have to eat, and while he thinks to bring that fact up, he reconsiders. Lance got pretty mad at him last time he used that as an excuse, so, maybe... not a tactful thing to say right now.]

I'll... think about it.

[He sure doesn't sound totally convinced, but at least he hasn't turned the offer down entirely?]

[Yoon suddenly remembers how to mark things as Private, and he does so.]

Look, you don't have to hang around me if you don't like me, just tell me how you're going to get anything to eat if I don't cook it. Anyone else, even stealing it from the Far Shore, I don't care.

[Sorry Keith you're family now, so he's gonna need some reassurance to stop the nagging.]

[For a moment, Keith looks a little surprised, 'if you don't like me'? Is that what it sounds like?

At least with the private filter, Yoon can drag a little more honesty out of him, but it definitely is a case of dragging it out. Keith sighs a little bit, running a hand through his hair.]

It's not that, I just... [Just what?] Yona's your friend, you know?

[He's not gonna hang out at a stranger's house just to eat food.]

[Yoon looks completely shocked. Keith you idiot.]

You haven’t met her yet, have you? Give her 5 minutes and she’ll be your friend too. She’s just one of those people.

She has a huge temple too. A million rooms and hates when it’s empty.

Besides, I’m not even sure she’s a friend. She knows me from before. I just traveled a lot with her, so I might be like... some kind of ward she’s nice to.

It’s... it’d be fine, is what I’m saying.

[The absolute dumbest, for sure.

But dang that is a lot of information, and, really, he can't read it as much else besides a strong insistence that he should take Yoon's offer up. Give him a second to recover from all of that.]

I don't like the idea of feeling indebted for a stranger's hospitality. [But... maybe you did get him to relent a little bit,] I'll drop by for food when you make some, if I'm not busy.

[Well... Keith didn't respond to Yoon's suspicion that Keith didn't like him, so he chucks that concern out the window. Hospitality is a different thing entirely.

So Yoon just smiles, knowing he's basically won to get Keith to agree to that much.]

Great! I'll probably make dinner most every night and maybe lunches too, so be prepared to hear from me!

[Which is why he figured it would just be easier for Keith to stay with them, of course.]

[Sometimes you just have to claim the small victories where you can...! He replies to the proposed schedule with a small huff, more surprised that he'd hop on preparing so many meals rather than particularly annoyed by the idea.]

Like I said, if I'm not busy. [Not to sound like he'll be turning every meal down or anything, though. Don't be surprised if he turns an invitation or two or three down! He warned you!] And... let me know if there's anything you need in return.

[Being indebted to a not-stranger isn't much easier to swallow.]

[He waves it off on camera.]

I heard you the first time.

[Doesn't change that he'll be able to offer several times a day, several days a week.]

Probably the only thing I need anymore is--

[He thought about asking for kitchen utensils, but no that would actually be genuinely useful. He has a better idea for someone like Keith.]

Just show me a bit more how to use these phones. And maybe a ride sometime in your... not-pet.

Yeah, sure.

[Both completely reasonable requests! Well done.]

Anywhere you specifically want to go, or just 'around' sometime?

[Yoon shrugs.]

I wouldn't even know where to begin, honestly? 'Around' is fine.

[That definitely makes it sound like it's a request made for the sake of a request, but... he won't fight it.]

Fine by me. It's faster than walking, so if you ever just want a ride somewhere, I can probably take care of it.

I can walk just fine, thank you!

[A tiny huff just to satisfy his pride.]

I've just... never been up in the clouds before. Even on one of those really tall buildings.

[Man if you don't want to get dropped off somewhere by a cool giant lion and impress all your friends, then that's on you.

The actual request sounds a little more meaningful to him, at least.]

Well, that should be easy enough. [A pause, then he adds,] It is a pretty stunning view, I'm sure you'll like it.

[Friends, right.]

I bet! I've studied so many maps that I know about what the geography should resemble, but to really see it...!!

[Okay so now he's back to excited. Thanks Keith, you're a pal.]

It's definitely different to experience it over imagining it.

[Well, at least that seems to have gotten Yoon in better spirits. That on it's own is kind of uplifting, despite the whole situation.]

I'm sure I'll be able to make time for it, whenever you feel like going.
