Zats was surprised that Gina even knew the name of one of the three gods Grandpa talked about yesterday. But before he could ask her about it he got the biggest shock of his young life and. A bunch of vines moved a statue up to a pedestal. At first thinking it might be some kind of powerful monster he held Gina even tighter but then it started talking and calling itself Shirila. He had no idea if it really was one of the three and decided to ask Gina about it not knowing that she had gotten some advice on what she felt for him. "So looks like you had an interesting adventure, care to tell me what happened?"
” A lot happened and I still haven’t forgiven you. “ She says as he points to her wounded knee. ” But, first of all are you gonna be my first disciple?” She says with an uncharacteristic shy manner that was a way off from her usual self and pushing him asleep figuring that it was time to end the hug for now.
She doesn’t look at him as she made the offer, feeling that he had no choice in the manner as he made her tell out loud to everyone. ” So are you? “ She asks again abit impatient mixed in with irritation as she waits for his yes.
Zats hadn't even noticed that Gina had been injured, before he could ask her about she came with a question of her own. His first instinct was to refuse as becoming a disciple of someone serving a Goddess was a big step, even more since he didn't know a lot about the Eternal Mother.
Her tone of voice and repeating the question made it clear that this was very important to her though. He tried to think of the best way to put it. "Gina, I'm sure you know by now I'm not the type to rush into things and instead prefer to think them through and this is a big step. I'm not sure I'm willing to spend my entire life serving Shirila but I do trust you and so my answer is yes."
As she heard her answer she wanted to hear, she sighs as she faces to him still a little mad with his redundancy. “Then pray to the goddess… and uphold the balance of the forest… eat only when hungry and kill only if necessary… but, never too much.” She explained as she pulls in forward wrapping her hands around him.
After her head was aligned with his she pulled him in for a kiss a brief but sweet kiss. “That’s part of the ritual for the first one.” She said to cover her shame as she hated to admit that she made that rule up. “This isn’t a thing so start praying.” She ends as she started to pray too.
“Shirila I have gained you a follower, please grant him your blessing, and make him stronger and guide him when everything seems bleak.” She prays as she claps her hands together hoping that the prayer was going to be enough to get a responds or power the goddess up.
Just as Zats was about to ask what being an acolyte entailed Gina kissed him. He blushed deep red and didn't fully believe her excuse that it was part of any ritual, but decided not to ask with the others in hearing distance or in case he was wrong and it was part of a ceremony. Instead at least partly to avoid angering her again he did as she said and started praying, though his heart wasn't really in it.
"Uhm eternal mother I don't know what happened here but you clearly made a great impression on Gina and seem far more powerful than any creature I know." He knew it wasn't much of a prayer and hoped he hadn't messed up some kinda test to see if he was worthy or anything.

@Double I didn't mean to ignore but it was already established that Danny had left his digivice at home and Arkrimon is much more useful rescuing people
Never even considering that Gina might hurt him or something Zats saw no reason not to check out what she wanted to show him, the way she smiled just sealed the deal. Even he had to admit though that the rabbit helmet and sword were unusual but she had always been a little strange and interesting in his eyes.
"Sure Gina, lead the way. Without any worry about what she might be planning he approached her. He was a bit nervous though and he was sure she and some of the others noticed but that was because he had decided to tell her how he felt when they were alone. "Honestly I'm just glad you're okay."
