Gods are sitting ducks without shinki-- we can't beat ayakashi without you. But I do see your point, so...
[ So. So what? It would be frustrating to feel this way as a shinki. Even if her own shinki doesn't share this stranger's sentiments, she can see how others might. A feeling of powerlessness is infuriating and scary. And as a god, she doesn't want anyone to feel that way either. Moreover, as a god who believes she's here to serve and protect the wishes of others, leaving this as it is doesn't sit well with her. ] We need to do something.
I don't doubt that there have been gods who have mistreated their shinki-- and if it's happened and continues to happen, it needs to stop. I don't know if there are any laws among the gods here, but something should be written in stone to discourage it from happening.
But that's not enough, is it? [ She says after a moment, brining a hand to her chin as she thinks. ] I'll-- er, we who believe something should be done must think of some way that the shinki are better able to protect themselves. A way to stop a naming from happening, if they don't want it. Or a way to negate a naming, if it is unjust...
[ She pauses as a few more ideas occur to her. ] And if those things don't exist, we can just try to make methods of our own. [ They need to try at the very least!! ]
