I understand a shinki is a weapon for their god. Are there other responsibilities included with that title?

How can I be more useful to my god?

["How else can I protect him?" is really what she means.]

Lately, yeah. I don't mind being around the boss normally, but... things happened.

[timeshields]

I don't think I'd want to be alone.

[Even if it does seem 'right'.]

[blindfoldcode]

It's not that I like it.

I just don't want the boss or anyone to have to deal with me while I'm recovering.

[timeshields]

I wouldn't want anyone to worry over me.

[blindfoldcode]

If your god's worth his salt, he probably would.

[timeshields]

I'll make sure he won't need to.

[blindfoldcode]

Good luck with that. I think it's just a part of the bond.

[timeshields]

Only if I feel bad.

[blindfoldcode]

I mean I think most gods worry about us just because it's what gods do. We're more than just weapons to them. At least...

I think we are? [It's why she feels awful right now.]

[timeshields]

I feel more like a weapon than a person.

It's not my god's fault.

[blindfoldcode]

But you're both. Even if you don't feel like it, you are.

[timeshields]

[It takes a while before she responds.]

We're dead.

I'm no longer human.

[blindfoldcode]

Believe me, I know.

But we're still people.

[timeshields]

What makes us people?

[blindfoldcode]

Well, we have personalities and stuff, right? We're not just mindless. We're still souls.
