Nothing's more normal than stomach aches. Zeno hasn't had one in a very long time...

[He tilts his head. What can harm someone who's already dead...?]

What'd you eat?

[idkmybffgon]

[Killua makes a face.]

Stomach aches are awful, I don't think they're normal at all!

[Ah, but... thinking about those chocolates makes him super bummed.]

...cursed chocolates. They were the worst.

[eternalshield]

[Oh, that makes more sense! People curse the dead all the time.]

People were talking about that when Zeno first arrived. It was that bad?

[Even with the elasticity of true youth?]

[idkmybffgon]

[He nods, still frowning.]

I couldn't stop throwing up and it was like something was trying to eat me from the inside out! Really horrible...

[Worst day of his (after)life.]

[eternalshield]

Who would try to kill people who are already dead? Unless it was just for gods and the shinki were collateral damage...

[idkmybffgon]

I really don't know.

[He pouts.]

They never found out who did it or why. It really sucked though.

[eternalshield]

Safe to say there's no god of mysteries solved nearby, then~

Probably they were too busy not finding out why we're here in the first place. That's Zeno's guess anyway!

[idkmybffgon]

[Killua lets out a snort. SASSY, good job Zeno.]

Yeah, probably! Honestly, I'd be happy for just... no more of that stuff, even if we don't get answers.

[eternalshield]

[He has a lot of practice being capital-D Done with the local pantheon... It doesn't usually manifest out loud, but when it does, it comes out as cheerfully as everything else.]

Oh~? That makes you wiser than Zeno.

[idkmybffgon]

[He laughs, softly, almost like it's not even there.]

Yeah, it's not hard to be wiser than most people around here.

[The snark is just SO STRONG.]

[eternalshield]

Good thing you took a break just now, hmm?

[...quickly stuffing some candy into his own mouth to cover the gentle ripost. The tiny bit of arrogance is adorable, but bravado is never wise, and if this plants that idea into Killua's head for later, Zeno is all right with that.]

As well as wise, you're smart! Taking your wellbeing into your own hands like that is difficult, more difficult than waiting to see how things shake out.

[idkmybffgon]

[There is a brief moment where Killua just stares wide-eyed at Zeno.

And then he lets out a bark of laughter.

That quickly turns into a peel of laughter as he clutches his stomach.]

Oh man, oh man! You got me good! I totally fell into that one!!

[eternalshield]

[Oh dragon-gods no. The arrogance is cute, and graceful-exuberance in his response here is cute, too. Why are there so many cute children in this heaven? The world needs this.]

It's excusable, since you're so careful the rest of the time.

[idkmybffgon]

[The laughter subsides as Killua wipes at his eyes and turns a grin on to Zeno.]

Hehehe! You get me! I like that.

[...oh and he's gonna grab another cupcake. Whatever.]

[eternalshield]

[Zeno has plain forgot how many cupcakes they started with...]

Goddess of youth specialty, is Zeno's guess.

[idkmybffgon]

[Killua has half a cupcake in his mouth as he snickers.]

Seriously?? That's pretty cool, I guess. Goddess of youth...

[eternalshield]

[Zeno laughs, too, but more at the 'youth' part. He does, after all, follow a god who reincarnated into an adorable little princess.]

Just imagine what a goddess of vegetables and no dessert would do to you.

[idkmybffgon]

[That has Killua's laughter cutting short as he stares off into the distance and shudders softly.]

That sounds like the worst goddess EVER. I hope it's not even a real thing!!

[eternalshield]

There needs to be such a goddess. Absolutely. She probably visits naughty children and hides all their chocolate.

[idkmybffgon]

[Killua gasps and clutches a cupcake close to his chest.]

No child is naughty enough to get their chocolate hidden!!

[eternalshield]

You're not very imaginative, then!
