[ Now Ilda frowns. She'll let you in on the problem, Sheena. ] Welllll... I didn't ask for anything difficult, though. It was just for him to take my photos on a rooftop. We just haven't done it yet because I've been hiding out after that... er, incident. But that's not exactly awe-inspiring, is it?
I did think about just running a donation drive, but he's very particular about how he earns that rhinn. [ Pouts. Because a charity event would be much easier than this! ]
[ Okay. She's going to shift gears for a moment because she likes you, Ilda. Her voice is soft when she speaks. ]
Ilda...you don't have anything to be ashamed of. [ Yes, she's heard about it. Although, if she had been there, she knows she would have tried to stop the girl. Even if she had to sit on her or knock her out. ]
And what do you mean it's not awe-inspiring? A god taking someone's picture for them? I would think that's pretty awesome. Wouldn't you?
[ Ilda clearly looks relieved that Sheena knows about the riot yet is still her friend, but her tone is subdued when she replies. ] Still, it was pretty bad. There are... things I don't like about the church and stuff, but I don't want people getting hurt.
... well, if you put it that way. [ She perks back up. ] That would actually be a good story, don't you think? A god takes photos of the girl who tried to wreck some god's temple? No hate, just love and forgiveness and awesome photos?
[ Sheena's smile is still gentle. Everyone makes mistakes, you know. ]
Ilda, haven't you realized something? Even though there were certain circumstances, you're not using them as an excuse. You feel bad about what happened, and you're not just brushing it aside.
Believe it or not, that's a good thing.
[ Sheena's smiles grows bigger. That hadn't actually been her thought behind the suggestion--she had actually been thinking he isn't above doing even simple things--but it sounds like it's something Ilda needs.
Someone to forgive her before she can forgive herself--which is actually pretty far from simple. ]
That could work--especially if he is pretty good at taking pictures.
Being a god doesn't exactly mean he'll know what to do, you know. [ She has issues with gods and goddesses, but Yato actually seems a decent sort. ] But I have the feeling he's been here long enough to figure it out.

Thank you, Big Sister.
I think he is? I mean, he says he's a god, so he has to be good at things, right?

You're welcome, Little Sister.
