[Honestly, how can LILITH give them the ability to feel each other's distress then expect them to willingly separate? That's something Yato wonders throughout the trek across the turbulent terrain. It's asking too much of them this time, so he doesn't feel a lick of guilt for his sneaky behavior. If anything he feels a bit excited about playing hide and seek. Maybe it's that giddiness that's helping to put Hiyori on edge.

Meaning he'll have to make it up to her once they get to their destination. It's that thought that's sitting with him when an unruly bump in the road sends him and his disguise crashing to the floor.

An OUCH later and he's peering up at Hiyori's shocked face. There's only a moment's delay before he's glomming onto her with gleeful delight, smooshing their cheeks together as he laughs without much care.]

Hiya, Hiyori! Bah, Everlight smeverlight. Who cares about teams during times like this? I felt your distress and came along to be with you~
