[Yukine, on the other hand, sees the invitation at face value: an offer of a drink and a place to sit for a bit while he tells the story.]
Sounds good! 'Specially if you're buying. [He's only half-serious.
Once they are both settled with their orders before them Yukine starts into the story of the 'sorcerer' Ebisu. It being from solely his point of view with only a few of the gaps filled in with things he heard later, he'll admit that the details are thin in places. But he hits all the important things, he thinks.
The hunt for the sorcerer using masks on ayakashi. That the investigation found Ebisu guilty, but at that time for some reason Ebisu was in the underworld. That for some reason Yato pursued him there. Everything about the judgement on Ebisu that had been carried out before Yukine's very eyes. Ebisu's subsequent reincarnation.
He feels no need to expand much on Yato's involvement nor mention his 'Father'. It didn't really have anything to do with the subject of heaven's judgement anyway.
Although he's doing all the talking his melon soda float is long gone by the time he gets to the end.]
And after all that, the real sorcerer is still out there. He just threw Ebisu-sama under the bus to take the attention off himself.
[He scowls and ruthlessly crushes the straw that had been in his drink.] 'The heavens are righteous'. But they sure as hell don't get everything right every time.
