Hotaru has to help Wessex with rescuing a deity I guess.” He rests an elbow on the top of the table, cradling the side of his head in it as he focuses on his niece. “I was supposed to go with, but I’m giving it a pass all things considered.” Perhaps that might be a boon enough for her, to realize he could say no.
