[Video] When some doors close

Date: March 2

[ Kairi sits in the shade of a tree with the Soulless Shinki temple behind her. ]

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.

I'm sorry, Kairi. If there's any way I can help, let me know.

Thank you, Ginia. I appreciate the offer.

I think right now just getting myself back out there is the best thing I can do. I stayed away for almost a month last time this happened, I was so upset about it all.

[unlucky7]

I don't think anyone could fault you for taking time to yourself, but getting back into things is good too.

I hope you find a good god.

[pure_radiantics]

Oh of course, no one said it was a bad thing, I just...

I think it made it harder to connect with my new temple - being adrift for so long.

[unlucky7]

It's easy to say in hindsight, but who can really say how it would have gone?

[pure_radiantics]

I know. I still feel like I should try something different and hope for a different outcome, you know?

[unlucky7]

May your choices turn out favorable this time.

And just remember even if your position may change in another temple, you're still highly respected in the greater community. That hasn't changed.

[ She clearly lowers her head, a faint blush there. ]

Thank you, Ginia. I just hope I can keep earning that respect.

[ At least she's not outright denying it anymore? ]
