[Ryotarou appears on the Plane, dripping paint where he stands. He's almost completely covered in the stuff, mostly of pastel purples and blues, but seems to be trying to shake it off and wring out his shirt. He looks kind of embarrassed and confused at how it probably all happened, although not very surprised.]

No, just... wet.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Well, that is a relief, then.

But, but--will you be able to get that paint out of your clothes?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Not sure.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Hm...I wish I could help you, but my god powers can only do so much...

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[God powers?] Then... are you.. Amaterasu-sama?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I am! Ah, I'm sorry...I sometimes forget that the people here aren't used to this.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[tilts his head a little] I-it's alright. I just wasn't sure...

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Smiles at him.] Oh, but look at me, nattering on when you're dripping paint! Hold on a moment...

[She disappears and reappears a few minutes later with a very old fashioned-looking towel and a wooden bucket of water.]

Here. This should help at least a little.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Blinks... then nods and smiles a bit in appreciation.] Thank you.. [reaches somewhat uncertainly for the towel. How does one accept something from a goddess anyway? fklndlkn]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Beams at him.] You're very welcome~

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Takes the towel and starts cleaning himself off silently. Slightly intimidated, mostly 'cause he has no idea if he's Doing It Right or not.]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[And just sort of lingers, smiling at him.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Gives a small, nervous smile in return, but focuses on getting the paint off his clothes and such.]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Other than unfortunate encounters with paint, have you been well?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[nods] Mhmm. Things have been pretty normal back home. I'm glad.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Normalness and peace are something many people take for granted. But I am glad you're enjoying it.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I only notice it now, because it hasn't always been that way recently... [shrugs and starts toweling at his hair]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

There has been fighting in your world?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[nods]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Is it serious? What has been happening?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

It is... but it's being handled. Barely. [slight headtilt] It's alright.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Returns the headtilt.] "Barely" doesn't exactly sound "alright."

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[shakes his head] It's alright because if something goes too wrong... I'll be there to help. So it's okay.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Broad smile.] Then you're quite the hero, aren't you? Your friends must be proud of you~

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

A-ah...! [shakes his head] N-no... I haven't done anything yet. I'm not really a hero... [and his only friend is in it just as much as he is, if not more, so there isn't much to be proud of in that department, is there?]
