Why is it that, once you finally get a break, rather than taking a rest, you instead come to me? Is it that you want to hear one of my stories?

Perhaps it is complex... But maybe it is best to simply say that he is loyal to me as a god, and as the one who freed him from a dark fate, and I repay his loyalty by caring for him to the best of my abilities.

Yes, golden eyes and dark hair with a shock of bright emerald. You've met him, have you?

[messianic]

Oh yes, that was definitely him.

[ a firm nod. ]

We've met. I'm looking forward to getting to know him better. It's even better that he's someone you know from home.

[lonesummit]

I've known him for many centuries now. He is the Conquerer of Demons, The Vigilant Yaksha, a fierce warrior who slays demons in my home to keep the nation I created safe.

... I hope he was polite.

[He hopes he was, but frankly does not expect that he was.]

[messianic]

[ Minato just nods easily at that, because of course he does. ]

He was fine. I didn't think he was hard to get along with at all.

[ Conquerer of Demons... those are some crazy titles. ]

He seemed to be concerned for the people around him, mostly, so... I'm sure he's a kind person.

[lonesummit]

I am glad. I did ask that he get along with people though, and I'm afraid he may have taken it as an order.

He carries a heavy burden, so he is not always cordial. If you ever come across him and you can tell he is in pain, please contact me.

[Xiao is like a cat and he will try to hide it but he feels like Minato could feel it out alright, if anyone could.]

[messianic]

[ Minato is quiet for a moment, brow furrowed--and then he nods. ]

... Okay. If it seems like he's in pain, I'll be sure to let you know.

In the meantime... I'll do what I can to help with that burden too, even if it's only a little bit.
