[Video] When some doors close

I've given it a lot of thought... and I want to ask if there are any gods out there that don't have any shinki right now.

[ She takes another deep breath. ]

I can't talk about it too much right now, but after losing my goddess, the first person I would have gone to... he's gone as well. I spent a long time weighing my options the last time this happened - maybe too long. I want to try to be decisive this time.

The first few months I was here, I hardly had a day I wasn't busy helping my god with his prayers or training with the other shinki at my temple. I miss that activity and those bonds, but I miss the impact I made in the lives of people on the Near Shore more. I'm a shinki so I can't do that as well on my own as with a god who will see me as a partner.

If there's a god who thinks that we could work well together, I'd be happy to talk with you some more.

No, I guess I can't. But you're right, I shouldn't go looking unless it seems like something big and important. People're still entitled to her privacy after all.

[Considering how protective she is of her's, it's only fair.]

[pure_radiantics]

It's sweet of you to think that, but I think most shinki have given up any expectations of full privacy - from our gods, at least. And it's no good for us to remain godless for too long either. So it's just something we have to learn to live with. That's why it's so important that the partnership is a good one.

[trustheart]

Well, yeah. I guess that's true. But I meant, like, trying too hard or forcing it when it's not warranted. I already know some of it can't be helped, just because of the way this is all set up.

[pure_radiantics]

Oh, yeah! Yeah of course not forcing it helps a whole lot.

[trustheart]

I can be pretty brusque with people. I either bottle up my emotions or shout them at people, so... I'm gonna have to do my best to reign that in, if there's ever problems. But I'll just have to do my best.

[pure_radiantics]

Aww, don't be so hard on yourself - we all have things like that we can work on! It's the kind of thing that partners can help with too!

[trustheart]

Heh. I dunno, the guy they put me with seems kind of dry.

But maybe I'm meant to help him too. Even if soulless shinki are... limited, and stuff.

[pure_radiantics]

Oh! You have a soulless shinki. Well that explains some things. I've worked with them a lot. It's hard to explain over text like this. When I see you in person we could talk a bit more about it, though!

[trustheart]

Oh yeah. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough about that.

But sure. We'll see what happens.

[pure_radiantics]

No need to apologize to me! It's understandable.

[trustheart]

Fair enough.

Anything else you might be able to tell me about soulless shinki would be helpful? if you know anything else, I mean.

[pure_radiantics]

Oh plenty! I have a Soulless shinki at my temple - I mean, the temple where I stay. But it's easier to explain in person, that's all I meant.

[trustheart]

Ohh. I can probably visit sometime in the next few days, then.

[pure_radiantics]

I look forward to it!
