"No need to be so nervous about that. Right?", she gently elbowed the sides of Haku, laughing nervously. Haku himself wasn't taking what he said too seriously either, as hinted by a chuckle. "Now now, It's just a figure of speech of mine... Never seen a case of two souls inhabiting the same body. Just the mention of two memories struck similar to how we have two thoughts. You would probably need to find a specialist on the subject for a deeper analysis. But enough of that talk, I suppose... Talk more about you, Tribdan, no need to be shy.", Haku's tail swayed in an almost ghostly demeanor, fluttering so naturally.

Tribdan had no need of taking a deep breath. Instead, their body loosened, reverting to a more human stance instead of looking like a frozen statue every time they weren't speaking.

"I... I would appreciate it if you didn't tell me how I should feel. Or how I feel. I'm not nervous or shy. I have strong opinions concerning myself, that's it."

With that out of the way... "I already have a specialist," they continued with a more pleasant tone. "I've had one since I came here. We're moving at a pace that's right for me. Separating the souls is a no-go, there's too much potential for the side effect of death." A short snicker escaped them. "As for me, uh... I don't know what to say there. We only just met. I've already said plenty about myself too."

"There's a few things we could talk of... Maybe starting off we could talk about your daily routines if you like talking about it.", Soosei proposed, and soon Haku gave his own input: "Or talk about our divine activities, although within these lands I have not done much of my divine duties and am feeling quite... I don't know how to explain."

And he didn't need to explain. She had done so before, the whole of their desire to revisit their homeland. Plus... "I need to grant wishes again sometime, it feels too lonely in the woods. Ah- sorry, didn't mean it that way, I meant-", Haku noticed the moment Soosei rose an eyebrow, "Anyway, what are your divine duties, Tribdan? In my eyes you give the feeling of a guardian deity."

Divine routine. Tribdan had to think on that. Preferably over the day, or days, or weeks.

"I... am unsure of how to answer that. I barely... rarely consider myself a god. I don't do godly activities, only what feels right to me. Most of the time I'm around here, assisting fishermen, keeping an eye on anyone in the ocean... I don't have a title either, but I suppose I'm considered a guardian deity to my family."

This was too complicated. Their head wasn't throbbing. It felt like it was tearing itself apart. The sensation wasn't painful, but it had the effect of making thinking a difficult task.

'You can grant wishes?"

"Mmhmm, sounds like a guardian's duty. Not bad at all, it's pretty much a start if I have any guess. But you mention a family? Related by blood or affection?", Haku pondered for a while, "I haven't had a family for... A really long time... Soosei is pretty much my only relative now.", of course, before him she had none...

When asked about their ability, there was a mutual response in synchrony: "Kind of.", and soon followed by Haku and Soosei giving their respective inputs:
"We are able to bestow fortune upon one's wallet, pouch or purse, usually makes it easy for money to go their way. But sometimes we hear "absurd wishes" that I can't fulfill. "

"And that's where I used to come in and disguise among humans to help them in their wish in secret. The mysterious man or woman who calls themselves Gemini and provides with guidance and making use of knowledge of Narrow Reality to help them fulfill their desire."

"There are some wishes we can't make true, but we do our best... After all..."

"They provided us with what we needed to be part of Nara's community, to blend with them."

How fortunate Tribdan was, to have had a family immediately. Soosei and Haku seemed so lonely. To only have yourself as family...

"That's beautiful. My family was one of affection. I was also a 'mysterious person' back then. I would help from the shadows, but the scouts... took notice of the few times I tried to gently reveal myself. I suppose it was for the best. I wouldn't want the Veil entity to erase me, or more importantly, the ones I love."

"This Veil thing... It worries both of us. But we ain't going to be foolish and let ourselves be exposed to the world out there.", Soosei started speaking this time, with Haku soon following: "We appreciate all the faith they put in Hakushoku, so our fears is more that the little beacon of hope for some people would just cease to exist and we would become just another face in the crowd, or perish in the wilds of natural causes."

"So we have to get accustomed to alcoholic beverages, since if we get to drink we might accidentally expose our nature while under influence. I'm a very light drinker, I confess."
, and she wasn't the only, as soon Haku added "As she is, so am I. A little sip and I will laugh foolishly and be easily manipulated."

Tribdan raised an eyebrow. "Have you considered not drinking if might lead to a troubling situation? I know of cultures valuing the friendliness of taking a drink, but there are times where it's necessary to firmly deny something that would hurt you. After all, if you're a light drinker, you might encounter a drink you haven't adapted to yet."

"Therein lies a different problem in and of itself...", Haku started off, giving a nervous chuckle, embarrassed for Soosei. "It is really hard for me to resist the temptation. Learned it the hard way when experimenting a slightly stronger licor at home while cooking. Woke up hours later with my head pounding and barely any memory of what happened between then and after. Only thing I clearly remembered doing was snuffing out the fire before sleeping.", she was not anywhere proud of it.

Tribdan frowned at the two. How difficult it was to resist the temptation to tell Soosei how ridiculous of a response that was. They needed to be treated with empathy and kindness.

"It must be hard, I understand. There are programs for that kind of problem. Helping people resist those kinds of temptations. I don't know any organizations off-hand, but I would love to help steer you towards the right direction. It's only a matter of time before those temptations lead to something worse. Hopefully that experimentation happened in your home as well..." If not... that might have been a whole other issue in itself.
