[ When you've been trying your best to just not have a Normal One sometimes you just forget, okay. He seems a little chagrined, considering Yamato's the one recovering here, but it would be even ruder to decline, so he steps out as indicated. ]
[ "Freeze up" isn't really the right word, but Day's startled when Yamato pats his shoulder, unlike how he'd usually be. Right. He's still here and people know him, right. So he tries to shrug it off, and follows after Yamato.
...Once they're down in the kitchen, Day is just going to use whatever leftover bread there is and make something with jam and butter. ]
[ He'll pass one over to Yamato, and take a bite out of the one for himself. Kind of chews on it while he's also chewing on the answer to Yamato's question. ]
The ghost left us all a little partin' shot 'fore gettin' stuffed into a bottle. [ Slightly sullen. ]
I dunno, just kinda... [ He makes a vague hand gesture. ] Suddenly reminded us of our worst nightmare? [ Judging from his experience and a couple of the reactions he saw. ]
[ They're both so tired. Can they go back to having more than one day between incidents?
It'll probably take them a bit before they're both ready to head back up, but once they do Day will wait for the two of them to settle down. He...thinks, he has an idea what to say. ]
[ He'll settle down next to Day, give him time to eat and digest what he wants to say if he needs to. After a bit, though, he'll lightly nudge his arm. ]
Take your time, alright? This stuff is hard to talk about.
Heh, I know. [ This, in particular, isn't easy for Day to talk about with most people. In fact, Yamato is the first mortal he's about to tell this to, which is...honestly kind of terrifying. How is he even supposed to broach this? ]
Maybe I shouldn't have opened with that. I mean, I'm guessin' the idea of Heaven exists where you're from? Even if it ain't the same as the one I know. I work for that.
[ How many places have a bureaucratic Heaven, anyway. ]
I work for the Bureau of Destiny. Division of Serenity, specifically. We handle destinies involvin' things that bring joy, like relationships and culture.

Sorry 'bout this.

[ With his good hand, he pats Day's shoulder and starts heading over to the kitchen. ]
Come on. Let's go. Make yourself something nice.

You want some?
no subject
Sure, I'll have a slice.
[ ...By "later", he means now. ]
You doing okay?

no subject
nah. Nah, that can't be it. Day isn't injured, so. ]
What do you mean...?

no subject
[ Sheesh, man. That ghost was really not messing around. ]
Do you want to talk about it?
no subject
...Not in the kitchen. [ He still has to decide what he wants to tell exactly too. ]
no subject
[ He offers a small smile to Day, though it doesn't quite meet his eyes. They are both tired. ]

...What if I told you I work for Heaven?
[ Nailed it. ]
no subject
Just one that's very confused. ]
...What?
no subject
no subject
[ HELLO? YAMATO? ]
no subject
no subject
[ OR, AT LEAST, IT IS FOR HIM? ]
Sorry, that's just the first thing I thought of. ... Are you a god, then?
no subject
[ A beat. ]
Okay, a mortal with a bunch of extras tacked on. But still just a mortal workin' for Heaven.
no subject
[ Or, well, he knows there are people out there who probably think they're from heaven or something, but. Day's situation is definitely different! ]
So, what do you do for them?
no subject
I work for the Bureau of Destiny. Division of Serenity, specifically. We handle destinies involvin' things that bring joy, like relationships and culture.
no subject
[ Actually, though. ]
Is that where the "joyous" in your name comes from?
no subject
[ ...Implying that this is not his actual name, but, you know. ]
no subject
[ He doesn't seem perturbed by this, probably because he knows at least one or two others who've done the same, here. ]
It matches you.
no subject
...It's just a nice thing to hear when the past few weeks have had some reminders that he hasn't exactly had a most joyous life. ]
...Thanks.
