[Despite being human, there's strength to be had in Hiyori's grip. It gives him courage and determination to keep her safe. To make sure she gets home in one, whole piece. It's got little to do with him being a god or even her God of Fortune, anymore. It's because he loves her. Maybe one day he'll tell her... When the time is right.
Thankfully the candy guy doesn't want too many peppermint trees; there's only so much Yato can do in his current state, and by the time he finishes, he's in need of a nap. Stifling a yawn, he blearily watches as Mister Mint rambles on some more about their reward. Head starting to bob as sleep sets in, he jolts awake from Hiyori's excited outburst.]
Huh? Oh...
[He eyes the candy dubiously. Isn't she the one always cautioning him about putting weird things in his mouth...? Oh well, what the hell. If it knocks him out, maybe he can get some rest, at least.
In goes the peppermints, which he crunches away at. They taste pretty good if nothing else? Slowly though, he feels more and more awake, and strength returns to his limbs as the circles under his eyes fade away. Soon enough, he's standing tall (well, as tall as a kid can get) and swinging their attached hands.]
It- It worked! I feel great! We can do this, Hiyori! Let's go! Thanks, Mister Mint!
[He waves before scooping Hiyori up and floating on forward back to the path, to the waiting gummy die. Without stopping he kicks it onto a three. Yellow again! Shoot!]
PEPPERMINT SPANK, BABY
