Things are fine Nothing particularly interesting on my end What about you?
[Suga's fond of Lapis as well - not because of any particular intersection of their fields, but just because she's someone he can get along with. He doesn't do well with loud or energetic types.]
... The usual. I'm just checking with everyone to see if there's anyone they want me to avoid. [The last thing she wants is someone chewing her ear off again because she didn't stop their chosen from dodging a falling piano or something.]
[She watches him for a moment, glancing at the note and thinking over how he reacted.]
... Then are you asking I avoid them for a personal reason? [Was that even allowed? But it's not like Lapis would even think to ask any of the others, not wanting Suga or the person he wants her to avoid to get into trouble.]
[That's enough of an answer for her, so she nods.]
... Then I will make sure that Shiori is safe, and I will stop anyone who may attempt to end her life. [Either through striking them down or not, if she has to.]
... All right, I'll be trusting you with that. [Though now her smile smooths back into her usual forced apathy.] Anyway, I hope I didn't keep you from anything important.
[She glances over at Suga when he sits down, then averts her eyes to where her hands are folded on her lap.]
... Difficult. There have been some sacrifices lately in my name, it tends to happen around this time of year. I'm still trying to figure out how to make them stop.
[She may be the Goddess of Death, but she never approves of sacrifices. It's always hard to see it happen, even after all these years.]
Normal Some are doing well and some are doing poorly
[After all, the God of Oaths had many followers. Few politicians did more than pay lip service, but many people from most other walks of life considered him one of the most important.]
... If anyone is doing really poorly, I can scare them into doing better for you. [She's kidding, even if her expression doesn't show it. Her tone does become a bit more lighter though.]

Nothing particularly interesting on my end
What about you?

So, do you have anyone you want me to avoid?
no subject
That's it
[There's a reason for that, but he's not going to elaborate unless pressed.]
no subject
Are they your 'chosen one', then?
no subject
[He looks away after writing that out.]

[He gives her a small, genuine smile. He's relieved she didn't ask more questions there.]
no subject
... It's nothing, just don't let the other Gods know. I don't tend to leave people if it's only for personal reasons, but I'll make an exception.
[Because Gods need to be neutral, besides their chosen ones and such.]

Not at all
Do you want to stay longer?
no subject
... I wouldn't be over staying my welcome or anything?
no subject
no subject
... Well, I would like to stay longer, if that's alright. I don't really talk to the other Gods much...
[Because she tends to creep the others out sometimes.]
no subject
[His realm isn't particularly luxurious. He tends to 'live' plainly. But there's places to sit down and rest, and food that isn't burnt.]
no subject
... Thank you, Suga. I'm glad to be able to talk to you again, I was too focused on my duties for a while.
no subject
[Things must be difficult for a Goddess of Death. He sits down beside her.]

no subject
I can imagine it's difficult
[He rarely ever gets sacrifices, but it would be awful to get them.]
no subject
[She clasps her hands together, before peeking over at Suga.] How have your followers been?
no subject
Some are doing well and some are doing poorly
