"Pft. Don't worry, you're not a god. Gods don't exist any more." Tsumiko giggled a little bit. It sounded girlish, cute, even. "It's nice to see you trying to help people, but shouldn't you be a little more proactive? If you'd just materialized and grabbed her, she wouldn't have been able to make that mistake."

"Well, I get stronger when people pray to me - does that count? If nobody did, I wouldn't exist." Carin decided that total honesty was the better approach when dealing with this girl. Withholding information would just be used as an 'aha!' later on and then the little goddess would never get anywhere. "Right now I can only take form around my shrines. Then I had to run to reach her."
She let out a sigh, as if disappointed in herself.
"Normally I just... tweak things. A bit of good luck here, some inspiration there, good dreams to replace bad ones, the strength to get through tough times."

Tsumiko
"Just trying to manipulate people never ends well." Tsumiko answered flatly, sullenly, as if Carin had ticked off a nerve. "You need to have a firmer touch than just covertly manipulating feelings if you want to get anywhere."

Carin
"Huh? Little things like that are all I can do most of the time." Carin sat straight up then, looking over the kotatsu at Tsumiko and frowning thoughtfully. "I'm still too small to heal the sick, or things like that. All I can do is be providence and inspiration."
Then she sighed. "Besides, I'm pretty obvious about it. They all know I'm doing it."

Tsumiko
"Hmmph..." Tsumiko fell silent, seeming to be thinking about something important for a minute or two. "What foods can you make in my dreams, anyway..."
Her stomach rumbled.

Carin
Carin just smiled at the thought, leaving Tsumiko to mull over her words on her own time. Instead she just asked a more important question. "Is there anything you would prefer?"
When next Tsumiko blinked, a bowl filled with rice with pork cutlet over it was sitting in front of her on the kotatsu.
"I like this one, myself."
