[ a tighter hold that hiyori returns, eyes lifting from her knees and back up to ereshkigal's face. she must see something there that surprises her a little because her eyes widen and her heart squeezes in her chest. ]

... You're right. That's no way to live.

[ of course, she is. for things that haven't happened yet, it's silly to be afraid. understandable but silly. you're only holding yourself back. besides, imagining herself and yato with a family. nothing else could make her happier. nothing else makes her as embarrassed or as giddy. except marrying him, probably.

something that makes her happy, too? ereshkigal having her back. having her as a friend. she's so glad she approached the golden goddess that was all but shivering in her chair in anxiety that one night at speed dating. so much started there.

please don't start a zombie apocalypse for her sake?! that's SO over the top. she's grateful just to hear that people are looking out for her. she laughs, breathless and airy that she has not one but TWO gods looking out for her, dropping her head to press her forehead to eresh's shoulder.

she expected yato saying something like this, but the queen of kur as well? ]

I already feel so blessed. It's difficult to imagine being any happier than I am. I'm healthy. I'm alive. I have amazing friends all around me. I'm getting married. I feel like the wealthiest person here.

And maybe, one day, my future son or daughter is going to have the best godmother.

[ get it. godmother. because she's a god. ]
