[And to him, all he's done is be there and be as honest as possible with her, trying to gently break the news without crushing all of Hiyori's hope or her heart. Hardly anything worth mentioning, really, but he supposes that's what gods (and friends) are for. To help people through the tough times, whatever they may be.
That's why if he can help ease her burden even a little bit, he'll consider that to be a success. Just as she's glad he's here, so is he that she is too; she gives him strength and a sense of purpose. Truly a fine substitute guidepost. And best friend.
W-Well, she went from laughing to being all serious on him...! What was he supposed to think??
As he certainly does expect to get a thwack over the head, or at least a headlock for his little joke between them. What he doesn't think will happen is her being absolutely prepared for this inevitability and presenting him with a... handmade coin?
He blinks as she presents it to him and manipulates his hand in order to pay him with it. Color slowly rises to his cheeks once again, his fingers clutching protectively at the little charm. He holds it to his chest while glancing away, a smile still playing at his lips.]
Y-You aren't kidding. Thank you for your payment.
[M...Maybe they ought to move out of the bathroom before Kazuma gets any weird ideas about what they might be doing in here...]
