[ ... WELL THAT WAS DISORIENTING. Yato likes his own nice and neat form of teleportation better.
He blinks around at all the flashing casino lights... This interior is familiar to him because he may have a tiny gambling addiction. ]
Hey, this is the Stone Pegasus. Did you get your wires crossed or something?

I've never been here properly before, so I don't see how I could have... [ She's in the district a lot so she knows it exists but, uh, she's a proper young lady who hasn't gone in... yet.
...she doesn't have anyone to go gambling with. Well, she could probably go with Silver, actually—she doesn't know about Goro? ] How strange. Should we try again...?
[ Though her stomach, now that it's caught up with her, does a weird little flop and she grimaces. ]
Perhaps after a rest. I'm not certain jumping again so soon would be very... good.

[ Yato learns sometimes! Everyone was upset enough by what he did when Aki's apartment burned that he'd have to second-guess doing something like that again. But in this case, he considers the matter of the criminal out of his hands; Ichirou has the greater right to see justice done.
At Aki's offer, Yato looks up at her in surprise. ]
You wanna help? You don't know him, do you?

[ Aki's tsunning is transparent enough to Yato by now. It manages to pull a small smile out of him, the first since the incident. ]
Thanks, Aki.
[ He twirls a mass of noodles around his fork. ]
And sorry. I wasn't thinking... about how my mood might've been affecting you.

...you don't have to worry about that kind of thing.
[She waves a hand dismissively.]
If that bothered me, I could've stayed stuck with that other guy...Lucius I think? He was pretty much dead inside the whole time. It was a lot calmer but it creeped me out. I guess I'd rather feel something than nothing at all, you know?

[ Yukine isn't dead anymore, but Yukine also isn't alive. Yukine isn't missing, but Yukine isn't always remembered by everyone he loves. Yukine is in trouble, and she doesn't know how to help.
That's why she's with Yato. This isn't exactly helping Yukine this very second, but it is helping her in the long run and maybe they can brainstorm some ways to help Yukine. Or so she hopes.
Brainstorming while you're swinging a sword around is a great idea. 100 percent. ]
Yato, what should I do? What should we do?
[ Does she mean for their sword lesson today? Does she mean in general? Does she mean about Yukine? (She means all of them.) ]

[ EXCUSE HER SHE HAS EXACTLY ONE PERSON TO GO GAMBLING WITH AND THAT PERSON RHYMES WITH LOTTO ]
Well, that's alright! Sometimes these skills need a little warming up. Besides, this is the perfect place to pregame!
[ He rubs his hands together and looks around, bright-eyed and ready tolose make some money. ]
What's your game of choice? Roulette? Blackjack?

[ That description sounds familiar... ]
Lucius... You mean Lucian? From Trevelyan Clinic?
[ The clinic isn't there anymore, but there's only one Lucius-sounding guy Yato knows of. As a god, he was Yato's foil, and in some ways Yato aspired to be more like him... until Lucian disappeared from the Retrospec network, and as far as Yato knows, from Recolle entirely. ]
He was one of my godpals. One day, he just stopped being able to feel emotions. He said he was a god of truth and judgment, so I guess it made sense.

[ Yato looks better than the last time he spoke with Chiyo, mostly because he's been sleeping like a log since Yukine's come back. Yukine's erratic moods have been hard to ignore though, and his head never seems to be completely there while he and Chiyo trek out of the city for some baddies to fight.
When Chiyo speaks up, he jerks to look at her. ]
Huh? We're gonna kill some stuff. No better way to level up.
[ That's what he assumes she was asking about...? ]

I mean, that is what I mean, but I also mean...
[ How does she bring this up? ]
Are you sure you want to do this? You look like you could use more sleep... and I'm worried about Yukine.
[ She doesn't know about Yato's emotional connection to her cousin. ]

It was creepy.
[She doesn't care if it makes sense!!]
Of course he got me through the month so I'm thankful for that, but...
Having this...contract thing is...I mean, I explained it before. [When she didn't know who he was. And she doesn't want to explain it again now that she's more coherent. It's too...sappy.] But with him, it was like...having an arm you can still use, but you can't feel it at all. No pain, no warmth...
Maybe I could've gotten used to it. But I don't think I would've wanted to.

Hmm...
[ Count on Chiyo to cut to the quick. It's true that he's been feeling a little drained, but he figured some fresh air would make him feel better. It's not good if it's showing on his face, though... ]
I've been getting plenty of sleep. And Yuki needs some time to figure things out for himself. We can't coddle him for every waking hour.
[ He scratches his cheek. No real reason to keep this a secret, he guesses... ]
I'll know if there's anything to worry about. I can feel his emotions.

[ WELL NOW SHE'LL GO GAMBLING WITH HIM WHENEVER HE WANTS TO, OKAY ]
It's all merely luck and chance, isn't it? [ HMMMM....... well. ] Blackjack. I'm quite skilled with cards, in a way.
[ in a

[ When it comes to her precious cousin, there's no point beating around the bush.
She doesn't think Yukine should be coddled, but coming back to... existence after dying can't be easy, and she doesn't want his adjustment to be rough... rougher than it needs to be. ]
Eh? What? How?
[ All Yato told her back in June was that Yukine would be a ghost. ]
Can you feel the emotions of all... [ Ghosts. ]

[ "In a way." Aight. He won't question it. He maneuvers behind Elizabeth so that he can push her toward the nearest Blackjack table. ]
I like the sound of that! Show me what you're made of!
[ He pops a seat at the table and slaps down 20 whole dollars for a chip exchange. ]
Hey, dealer. It's gonna be the two of us!
