[There's just a little nose scrunch at being called a nerd - before her expression smooths out into a giggle. Okay. She can handle being called a nerd.
But then - it all sort of clicks? Oh. Yato might be a warrior god. For some reason that's not what she struggles with. It's coupled with the memories of him warning her that there might be things in his life that'll make it dangerous for her to be around, when she asked him to be her producer. It's coupled along with now, the idea that these gods could be forgotten -
And she's back to holding onto his hands, squeezing them with intent as she looks up at him.]
No fighting, please. Unless you have to.
[Followed by:] No forgetting either. Никогда. Never.
[ Her reaction was more serious than expected. Yato straightens, startled, and looks down at their hands. He can tell she believes his claim in full, however strange it sounds... and somehow, that's a relief. If she believes, then she won't forget. Surely...
And here's a confession: ]
I don't want to fight.
[ Really. Honestly. He's tired of that life. Violence doesn't end with one person, or wrap up neatly like the plot of a novel. It lurks. It follows. ]
But lately, I've been finding out that I'm pretty good with a sword. A real sword. It's... fun. It feels right.
[why do you ask her complicated questions, Yato - there's a moment where she frowns immediately and is quick to clarify:]
Hurting people is not good. It is never... um - идеальный? ["ideal"] It should not be... first choice. People who are doing safe things that do not bother others... they should not be hurt.
But Yato would not do that. Only if people are being very mean or doing something wrong. Sometimes... it will keep more people safe if the people who are hurting are stopped?
Cложный.... it is hard to say. Am I being clear...?
So he is allowed to hurt certain people for the greater good. Yato will lock away this blanket permission in his heart. ]
So what you're saying is... I should use my swordsmanship to fight wrongdoers?
[ LIKE A SUPERHERO. He honestly has never considered this option... Fighting in his world has always been a means of domination. But if he used his skills for good... It would be win-win, wouldn't it? Anya is a genius!!!!!!! ]
[greater good sure is a worrying concept in yato's hands
and yet she's smiling at his understanding beCAUSE YEAH SURE THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT SHE WAS GOING FOR.]
Mm! Yes! Yato will get to do what he likes - but only in a good way that is not hurting people who should not be hurt. Xорошо? That is a good thing, yes?

Especially when it gets to this part about swords and she just kind of. Giggles??? Anya, what the fuck.]
Oh! Завистливый... You will make Yamato jealous.
[THIS IS NOT KENDO, ANYA.]
But if it is what feels right and Yato is not hurting anyone that does not deserve to be hurt, is it bad?
[why]

Anya thinks there are people who deserve to be hurt??
