[No he’s not; he just knows that Goten associates him with all things sakura and it’s a good guess he’ll think the same of Rin (and doubly so once he sees the castle). Either way, it’s amusing to see his reaction, but Sousuke doesn’t push his luck further. He’d rather the boy not end up thinking he’s some amazing hero or something. Honestly, Sousuke’s a normal guy. Even if he’s… well… a shinki right now. It’s strange.
Either way! Goten doesn’t need to bring a present. Neither Sousuke nor Rin is that kind of person. Rin’ll be happy with getting to visit with Goten and show him around the castle and Sousuke’s pretty much happy if Rin’s happy.]
Hm? [Goten sounds disappointed. The point the other shinki brings up is a little unfortunate. Actually there are a number of shinki it seems that aren’t wielded by their gods. While that’s nice in one way (not being treated as a weapon), the other way’s detrimental to a shinki’s growth.] You’re a good shinki, Goten. I’ve met a number of other shinki who aren’t wielded by their gods. So don’t feel bad.
[He doesn’t know why those other gods, Archie included, don’t introduce their shinki to that role. Though Sousuke’s not fond of it—as he’s made known in that public post—he isn’t going to deny that a shinki and a god can battle together. Or should be able to at least. Just because Sousuke doesn’t like it doesn’t mean he’s not going to train in what role’s expected of him.
Urk… that last part… The device picks up that little mumbled comment and he feels bad for bringing the topic up.]
Archie probably has a reason. Have you brought it up to him at all? That you want to train as a shinki? Not the borderlines, but your vessel form.
