[Or Heaven is a bureaucracy and bureaucracies never run as smoothly as they like to pretend they do, Simon thinks, frowning as he bites back from sharing that thought out loud. Instead what he offers something quite a bit gentler.]
I'm sorry, I don't know who they might be. It could be just a misunderstanding...though if they are testing you, then they're wholly heartless.
[Simon withdraws his hand, smoothing it over his mouth as he thinks for a moment. He could offer to name this shinki...but he knows there's a certain stigma around shinki serving more than one god and he doesn't want to get Farfarello into trouble. But Simon is quite prepared to take the responsibility for that. After all, didn't he hear that everything a god does is just? And if the god Farfarello is waiting for is being cruel...then as far as Simon is concerned he'd be doing the shinki a favor.
Simon gestures with both hands, open to Farfarello as he decides to make the offer.]
