which witch is which

probably doesnt matter dumbass its a witch either way.

i scream you scream we all scream for ice cream

no thanks.

[That wasn't in reaction to a recent proposition or spying on her god chatting about her again, nooo... Never.]

[Private to Aditi, Sharak Sanzo.]

[She knows nothing of this business...]

I don't use bullshit flowery language like that, and she already knows I'll kick her ass.

Oh, I'm sure. I meant "sting," though, not "beat."

... Has anyone explained to you about stinging?

[New shinki. Hakkai holds back a sigh: he had promised Yukine to help educate the newcomers. Learning about what a sting is might be one of the most important things they'll learn.]

[She gives her phone a Look before remembering that it doesn't...work that way... She grunts instead.]

Hasn't come up before.

[Hakkai's tone shades into helpfully neutral teacher-voice, not entirely deliberately.]

As shinki, we're meant to be our gods' moral compasses. That means, if we do something or are forced to do something that we feel guilty for -- that we feel is wrong -- we and our gods will both be affected with blight. It's painless for shinki, although you'll be able to see a mark, usually on your neck or back.

[Not that he's had plenty of opportunity to see where blight marks appear on a shinki's body, so far. Certainly not.]

For gods, it causes pain, which is why it's known as "stinging" your god.

Well if it's on my back, I'm sure as shit not gonna see it, am I?

[But uhhh, that's. News. She can't think of anything she would have felt guilty for and hurt Sharak, so that's good?]

Somehow I don't think we're gonna have that problem.

[The teacher-voice brightens into full-on artificial cheer.] Mirrors are very helpful!

[--and, leaving that excessively cheerful tone aside, he'll sober again. Mirrors are very helpful, if you're not sure. He's started to recognize it in himself.]

It's much better if you don't. But there's one advantage, in that it means our gods can't use us against our will without hurting themselves too.

[Her back's pretty much always bare, screw mirrors. She'll just wait for someone to say "woah what the fuck is that shit on your back".]

Guess so. Would still rather do the job myself, not leave it up to some magic safety lock.

Of course. But it's something you can say to your god, if she is that concerned about using you against your will. Should she try to do so, she'll know.

It's not much of a safety measure for us, but I can live with being a learning experience.
