[ All of this had gone above and beyond Yukina. It was enough that she was a demon, a koorime, but that hardly mattered to her as long as she had those she counted as friends by her side. They treated her equally and fairly with kindness. That was all that she wanted. But here she was now as a goddess. And as a goddess she had absolute no idea what it was she supposed to do or why she was even chosen to begin with.
All of these questions bounced around in her mind to the point where she needed to find someone who could help her to understand. This was how the young demon found herself seeking the company of one of the highest beings the resided here. She lifted a hand curled into a small fist but her knuckles hovered over the door to Aphrodite's chambers as she bit her lower lip.
Was this alright for her to do? Was she allowed to go seeking their audience without asking first? Would she only be a burden upon them? ]
Um...
[ Yukina closed her red eyes and took in a deep breath, forcing herself to stop thinking so many questions. Then, as she cracked open one eye just enough to see, she knocked lightly on the door. ]
[ It's spoken in that Omnipotent voice that knew there was a new goddess hiding behind her doors. As though she didn't require her to actually enter of her own will, her servants open the doors for in a slow creak. She doesn't seem unsettled-- rather, she doesn't even sit up from her generous pile of luxurious pillows and blankets to greet the girl. This position is enough. ]
Please make yourself comfortable. Zeus has entrusted me with the responsibility of answering all your questions should he fail to... which means I'll be speaking to a lot of you, given how helpful he tends to be.
[ Upon seeing the goddess Yukina immediately bowed her head to her, hands clasped together tightly over the front of her attire. ]
Thank you, I hope I am not disturbing you.
[ It was her way of apologizing, despite what Aphrodite had just said. Some habits just don't change easily. Albeit timidly she accepts the offer to sit, picking a comfortable looking pile of plush cushions. Her hands remain on her lap as she peered up at the goddess. ]
I'm afraid that I'm still not quite sure what it is that I'm supposed to do. I've... never been a goddess and I don't believe I'm best suited for such a title.
Not at all... I take my job very seriously, and right now, you all are my job.
[ She ruminates on the question for a bit, then rises, walking to her window. ]
You see them below, don't you? Those who follow your name. While we are gods, we are not mindless decision-makers on what's best for the moment. We have personalities as well, and just because you think you are ill-suited to the task doesn't mean you are. It doesn't mean making personal appearances every day, like a politician. Rather, a touch of mystery is welcome, even encouraged. We do not want these people we watch over to... how do you say, grow over-reliant on us. Then we would just be babysitting and that's problematic.
Because there are people who believe you are, that is enough. Right now, they are working, living, and celebrating in your name... wouldn't it be unfair not to meet them halfway?
[ From where she sat Yukina listened to her words and thought them over. With that sort of explanation she was starting to understand her current predicament.
It was all still very intimidating, but Aphrodite's words did make sense. ]
Then you can relax. We won't as much of you right away... and you'll get a handle of it as time passes. Observation is paying your followers love as well... so watch them to see what they need.
Of course. [ The koorime then bowed her head to her. ] I would be very grateful if I could come to you for advice in the future. That is, if it's alright.

A request for Aphrodite!

I will try my very best then.
