[Where is Xie Lian? Somewhere in this tiny space, it's fine. And since there's no daemon around for cuddling and comfort, Rin will just go up to Xie Lian and make his over-exaggerated prayer stance.]
Oh Taizi Dianxia, mysterious god of the central plains, with a crown of flowers in one hand and a sword in the other, who tamed a demon's heart and taught a human how to be free again, who extends his hand in kindness and acceptance time and time again!
[A pause. And then, much quieter:]
Thank you. For always answering my prayers.

[ this tag killed me so hard
the overexaggerated prayer pose is always so very silly, and makes xie lian smile. he's still smiling as rin gets his way through his prayer, amused in the laugh-or-cry sort of way... and then rin keeps going, and it melts into something utterly touched. ]
...Rin...
[ sometimes
it just takes one person to feel like you did enough. ]
...thank you, then. For believing in me.

You make it hard not to believe in you.
[He's being truthful here, too. Rin still really isn't about religion, but it's easy to believe in someone who is right there.]
But you know it's not the titles that make you special, right? At your heart, you're a good person. So regardless of if you're a god or not, you're still a person to be looked up to.
[And then he looks a little embarrassed before he continues.]
...thought about calling you 'old man', but you're not actually that old so it doesn't fit. And I don't know Chinese either, so...what would I call you?
