Have they really? I mean, you were on fire yesterday. Now your hair's long.

[he doesn't understand all that happened, even though he remembers everything. but he does understand that agni saved his life. whatever happens tomorrow, yesterday he was saved.]

[oathic]

Ah, so it is. [he reaches up to tug on a strand.] I regained one of my powers as a reward, so that's what happened.

[swordflash]

There was a reward like that?

[that explains a lot.]

It felt like you were fire itself. You really are a god, huh . . .

[oathic]

Well, that's not wrong. [he literally is the fire of his universe, so.] But yep. Surprise!

[swordflash]

[that wasn't a surprise. he's known for weeks. don't try to be funny now.]

You're not what I would've pictured for a god of fire. But if it's you, I think we'll definitely be all right.

[oathic]

I get that sometimes.

[he blinks, surprised.]

What do you mean?

[swordflash]

You're here.

You didn't have to come. But you did, because you're always looking out for everyone. You won't leave anyone behind if you can help it.

[he's not very smart, so it's hard for him to judge whether agni's plan to thwart the monster was ideal or not. he can understand the intention, though, and that agni has a kind heart.]

[oathic]

... I don't think anyone here wants to leave anyone behind.

[swordflash]

I don't want to leave anyone behind. But I couldn't have done what you did.

That's why I think it'll be okay.

[oathic]

Don't sell yourself so short, Zenitsu.

[swordflash]

I don't.

[he states that as if he were stating a fact. he lowers his arms to hug his legs, letting the haori fall to his raised lap. agni is a god—an individual with a powerful will—while zenitsu is just himself.]
