[ ...Yeah. That reaffirms for him: Yato really is stupid.

But Ryoji is grateful, pulling away from Yato and considering him, carefully putting himself back together so he doesn't laugh in his face at such honesty. Yato is stupid because he owes Ryoji nothing, because Ryoji can't give him anything in return, because he hasn't given up when Ryoji already has. So, he's grateful. ]

It's not reading your mind, not really. You say what you want, what you believe in, what you will and will not do, so I never have to guess at your words. Your conviction makes them sound like truth, and I can't help but believe and have faith.

[ That's why a god, Ryoji supposes. To be able to inspire... something. War, or whatever Yato's supposed to be a god of, but more than that. Strength. ]

So, alright. Pick up your sword. Let's go.
