I've got a question! Since there's a lot of different gods, am I supposed to treat the ones from the religion my god is from like family? And does anyone else have animals like deer or anything else at their temples?

Oh, and does anyone know how to put a blessing on objects? My shinki can't come inside the temple, and I don't think he likes sleeping in a tent too much.

...Soulless?

[There's no masking the look of concern on his face]

[missingache]

Yeah. Some people get shinki that are just... bodies that do stuff. It's weird, and I don't like it.

[It was rough when he tried to do anything with his shinki and it just stood there and stared.]

[ex_savor573]

That's...Poor Hana...

[He feels so bad for his poor shinki]

[missingache]

I didn't even name mine. I just let it be where it was.

[It was like having a Dusk around. Except useless.]

[ex_savor573]

...It...?

[It's puzzling, if not even more concerning]

I think I'd feel wrong, treating her that way.

[missingache]

[These two come from very different worlds.]

It. Looked like a guy, but didn't? It was just something that I could stand in a corner and ignore until I needed it.

[Is Kaneki upset?]

You can treat Hana any way you want to.

[ex_savor573]

She's sort of... Even if she's that way, I think I'd rather treat her like a person.

[He can't argue with somebody else's choice of how to regard shinki, but he does know he's not comfortable treating her like a thing]

[missingache]

Then treat her like a person, but if you get a real shinki, she might disappear unless you don't want her to.

[They do come from very different backgrounds, so it's no surprise.]

[ex_savor573]

Is that how it goes? They disappear?

[He's so new to all of this...]

[missingache]

The day Raichi showed up, the other one was gone. It's probably because I didn't want him.

[ex_savor573]

I see...

[The way everything works is so strange]

I don't mind having Hana around, she's been helpful...so I guess I'll have to see what happens.

[missingache]

Or ask the big guys who run this to make her stick around.

[That might work?]

[ex_savor573]

I guess I'd have to find them... But I have a few questions I'd like answered anyhow.

[So...worth a try?]

[missingache]

One of the gods who's been here longer might know.

[Not that he knows any of them.]

[ex_savor573]

I'll see what I can find out. Meanwhile...

[Kaneki takes pause to point somewhere off to the right]

My temple is in that direction.

[missingache]

[For Kaneki's sake, Roxas hopes he finds something out.

He looks over to where his new friend pointed.]

Okay! I'll text you before Raichi and I come over. [Unlike Sora.]

[ex_savor573]

Alright. Anytime is fine, so feel free.

[Kaneki's not really used to having guests, and it'll surely show whenever they do stop by, but it seems the right thing to be hospitable and help out]

[missingache]

Do you want me to bring anything when I visit?

[Like books?]

[ex_savor573]

Not unless there's something you want in particular- oh.

[Speaking of...]

How do you guys like your coffee?

[missingache]

I can bake!

[Uh...]

I've never had coffee, and I don't know about Raichi. We just have tea at the temple.

[ex_savor573]

I'll get some tea in the meantime then, if you'd prefer that.

[He can't drink it, but he should be a proper host]

[missingache]

I can bring my own. [Insanely picky about tea.] I'd like to try coffee first before I do.

[ex_savor573]

Ah- if you're sure...

[Well, if he hasn't had coffee before, there are things he can ask then]

Do you like things plain, or sweet?

[missingache]

[Good question. The few times he's smelled coffee it was bitter.]

Sweet.

[ex_savor573]

I'll make sure to pick up some sweetener and milk then.

[Kaneki might only be able to drink plain coffee, himself, but he does know how to make it appetizing for humans. Though given a moment to reflect, he supposes maybe he ought to explain, since Roxas hasn't had coffee before]

I...worked at a coffee shop. Before all this, I mean.
