[Yuto is lying on the side wrapped tightly in his part of the sleeping bag, (their two sleeping bags were zipped together). It is quite cold inside the tent, especially during the night.

Yuto's brows furrowed as he's deep in thought and suddenly he asks a single question:]

Yuya, do you get along with Vector?

[Yuya's wrapped up on his side as well, although he's mad e a small effort to keep their backs pressed together for more warmth.]

I guess so...Why?

[Yuto sighs.]

Because I don't. [Only then he turns around to face Yuya... or rather his back.] Or actually I suspect he simply dislikes me. [Because of Vector Yuto was stuck as a dragon for some time... and he doubts that was unintentional.] ...But from what I've heard it's important for shinki to get along with their god.

[At least Yuya hasn't turned around as well to make it really awkward...although he does decide to roll onto his back to glance at his twin.]

I think if he really didn't like you, he wouldn't keep you as his shinki then. [But it's a valid impression given dragon-y things.] Give it a month, and I'll take on the next missions too.

[Yuto nods after a moment of thought and also lies on his back. Then a very heavy sigh escapes his lips.]

...I guess you're right. [It hasn't been that long. Though, Yuto know recalls how Vector basically told him to find another god when they first met.

This is going to be really difficult. And there's one more problem.] But there's one more thing... Apparently one shinki is supposed to be an exemplar for the god. Have you heard about that?

I'll help out. Don't worry about it. [With all that sighing going on, Yuya finds and takes Yuto's hand to give it a squeeze.]

No clue. What's that about?

Thanks. [He even gives Yuya a small smile in return.

As for the question.]

I was told that an exemplar is needed to set the god on the right path and teach the god about telling the right from wrong.

.....................

[...]

Pffft, like that'll work out. Vector's kind of a sore loser, so I don't think he'd take well to someone like a boss.

[...Yeah. Vector doesn't seem like the kind to listen.]

Well, somebody will have to teach him how to restrain himself. On the last mission he made quite a mess...

[Yuto does not agree for more energy explosions.]

[Not that he was there, but he can guess the results with all the noise.]

....So you're saying one of us has to be his exemplar.

Yes. And even if he won't listen we - or one of us - will just have to be stubborn.

[Maybe Vector will listen. Eventually. Maybe is the keyword.]

Alright. If that's what you think will work best. [Although he's not sure how comfortable he is with giving orders and stuff like that.]

We can both be exemplars. I don't see why it only has to be one of us.

[He nods lightly.]

Of course. If we work together everything will turn out okay, right?

[And even Vector won't have much to say in that matter. Though, Yuto is not asking Yuya to give orders to anyone. Just to point out to Vector when he is doing something wrong.

Yuto tries to wrap himself a little tighter in their sleeping bag. Maybe it's time to think about getting a blanket. Or three.]

Hehehe, definitely.

[5 blankets sounds good. But for now, Yuya will laugh off his wariness and turn onto his side to inch closer to Yuto for more body heat.]

Sorry, it's just too cold.

[Yuto shakes his head and smiles slightly. Then he also moves just a little bit closer.]

Don't apologize. [Yuya has nothing to apologize for.] It is cold here.

Well, if that's the case-- don't mind if I do. [No more awkward fidgeting, Yuya's going straight for cuddling with an arm around Yuto's waist and his cheek presses against his shoulder. Hopefully Yuto isn't too uncomfortable with it, but hey, at least it's not like they're spooning. It's a little embarrassing to do this, yet there's no way he'll be able to sleep while he's freezing.]

Once we get settled, want to look for a gym? One with a rock-wall, and balance beams, and a pool...I'll go nuts if I can't run around a little.

[At first it does feel a little awkward, but Yuto relaxes quickly enough. Yuya is cold so sleeping close to each other is really the best solution right now. Yuto closes his eyes and his head tilts towards Yuya. Then he nods lightly.]

Sure, why not. [A brief pause.] You really like those kind of things, don't you? [Yuto would do without them just fine. All he needs is a moment of peace and quiet, really.

He pauses for a moment again, then continues in a quiet tone:] ...It's funny, you know? We're twins but we're so different from each other.

Mn, I have a lot of energy. 'Dunno why though. [Just snuggled up like this and sharing body heat is enough for Yuya to let out a small yawn. So much for having lots of energy.]

I don't think it's a bad thing-- being different. Maybe we'll find more similarities as time passes. Besides, it'd be more weird if we were exactly the same.

[Yuto turns a little bit towards Yuya.]

I don't think it's bad... just... [Sometimes it feels like they're polar opposites. Still, it's not a bad thing.] ...I guess when you think about twins you imagine that they'll be really similar? [He shakes his head slightly.] But it doesn't matter anyway... I'm just... glad you're here... [Those last words are spoken in a bit of a sleepy tone.]
