[Video] How dare you, goblins

[He is so mad. So very, very mad right now. He doesn't remember how much he loved books beforehand, but he does know that he has all of two personal belonging here - his satchel and his feather hairpiece. That means anything not nailed down, he doesn't mind taking. He found those books, that made them his.

Until the goblins came.

He had the sense to go back to bed after they woke him up in the middle of the night, but he can most certainly scream while preparing breakfast.]

Of all the things to jump into my bed in the middle of the night and take from me... Books? Not even books that teach you fundamental skills! Puff the Magic Dragon, a children's book, clearly; The Giving Tree, which is also more art than words and not even diagrams; and some kind of book that actually had pieces that jumped up at me off the page.

The books were lying on the ground! Clearly whoever lost them didn't care that much about them! So I picked them up and brought them to my god's temple! What was wrong about that?!

If anyone has books that they don't want anymore, I will gladly take them off your hands instead of throwing them on the ground!

[ Yoon looks mad, which is pretty scary and she almost doesn't answer, but she'd woken up to find the books she'd found had gone missing too, so maybe something had happened while she'd slept last night? ]

Are you okay? [ Have a worried six-year-old contacting you. ] What happened?

Ah... Nanako... It was...

[He clears his throat.]

I was woken up in the middle of the night. A robbery. I'm working on tracking down the culprits now.

[By... yelling about all of this. Instead of asking for help. He's getting there.]

[ Her eyes go wide. ]

That's scary! Did you call the police?

[ Do they even have those here? ]

Re: [Video]

[handsome_genius]

[ ... Yeah he can't get mad at Nanako for using a word he doesn't know. ]

I don't know who The Police is, actually.

[ Nope they do not have that where he's from. ]

[ SHOCK. ]

Don't we have police here? They, uh... where I come from, when someone does something bad, they come fix it. They find the person who did the bad thing and make sure everyone is okay.

[ I am so glad the six-year-old keeps getting to explain modern day to medieval dragon-era people. ]

[ He blinks before responding. ]

Pretty sure that's what the military is supposed to do, right? Resolves conflicts when someone does something wrong. Punishes the people who do bad things, take them to the king's nearest jail?

[ See also: reasons he has a problem with both nobility and military. ]

[welcome_home]

[ .... ]

We have a king?

[ She might have missed the point here. ]

[handsome_genius]

There's someone in charge of all the other gods, isn't there?

Isn't that a king?

[Yay tangent!]

[welcome_home]

[ She blinks, because she actually has no idea who's in charge here oops? ]

...Maybe? Should we call him then?

[ Look, she doesn't know, this is why she has her dad, he handles all the police business. ]

[handsome_genius]

Kings don't just come running whenever there's trouble, Nanako. They're... busy. Talking to nobles with a lot of money, usually.

[Bias showing again.]

[welcome_home]

[ ..... ]

But we're gods now. That makes us more important than nobles with money, right?

[ Logic!

...Besides. Nanako doesn't have a lot of experience with people successfully telling her 'no', other than her father. ]

[handsome_genius]

[He's eying her carefully. Maybe she has a point. Maybe.]

So... if you're more important than nobles, what'll you do about it? Usurp the kingship?

[welcome_home]

[ Her eyes go wide. ] Nooo. Why? Do you want to be king?

[ That sounds like a lot of work. ]

[handsome_genius]

I can't do it. I'm a shinki, not a god, remember?

[welcome_home]

I don't think I'd want to be a king.

[ Even if now he has her thinking about it. ]

[handsome_genius]

Me either, honestly. I'd get behea-- behavior criticisms from the nobles almost instantly and probably ousted. So I guess both of us are out.

[At least he thought better about using 'beheaded' with a young girl, right?]

[welcome_home]

Do you have a god? Maybe they can call the king? [ That would work, right? ] Maybe I can find out if we have police here. Or a detective! They could help too, I bet!

[handsome_genius]

Yeah, I picked up a god who couldn't take care of himself because I know how to bandage wounds. It seemed for the best.

[For Ran's sake.]

[welcome_home]

[ Rememberance dawns on her face. ]

Oh right! Is your god feeling any better?

[handsome_genius]

Yes, he is, thanks to yours truly.

[He's quite proud.]

His name is Itsu-papa-lotaru if you see him around.

[welcome_home]

Itsu...papa?

[ ....There is no way she's ever going to remember that name. How do you remember that name? ]

I'm glad he's okay, though!

[handsome_genius]

[Very, very dedicated practice to learn that name.]

Itsu's probably good enough for him. Itsu-papa sounds like something you'd call your father and he's not really that type.

[welcome_home]

Itsu, then.

[ At least that was easier than the whole thing. She could probably manage that much. ]

Does he know about the robbery?

[handsome_genius]

Itsu's fine - I'll probably call him that too.

He's still recovering. I didn't want to bother him with it, since these were my personal things stolen, not like it was anything from his temple.

[welcome_home]

But he's your god! It's not a bother if there's something you're upset about! He should know.
