[Ginia stares at Kimi, gears obviously turning in her mind, an amused smile escaping. It's not as if she hasn't thought Ebisu is hot as an adult, though the feeling is now more the pride of knowing your son will grow up handsome.

So. Okay. With all the people that live in the temple, have lived in the temple, her situation probably isn't that shocking or scandalous and worth batting an eye at. It'll still take time to untangle her feelings from everything else.

Ginia leans against him after the quick kiss. Give her the time and opportunity and she'll slump on him like a large cat. She rubs away her remaining tears and pats her cheeks to refocus.]

You're very important to me, so your opinion matters. [So there's that.]

I guess I'm still figuring out myself. What I want, what I need. What to keep, what to let go of. But I'm trying.

[She's in a place to try to improve herself, that much is clear.]

I think I'm realizing now how hard my first few months were. I didn't do right by my first god, but there was no one else at the temple and she left me alone more often than not.

[Trying to navigate a life without memories and who she was, having space was a mess.]

I left her after two weeks for Caster. I thought it was the right decision. Now, I don't know, but I suppose there's no use dwelling on it either.
