Days passed and the world's god continued to heal faster and faster. She was able to speak properly now that her jaw had completely healed but still she was unable to walk or float.
Etihw has also been moved back into her room as Kcalb and Wodahs fixed everything for her.
Villagers visited her to see how she was doing. Yosafire came in with her three friends Froze, Macarona and Rawberry and chatted away cheerily as if nothing had happened. Yosafire and Etihw especially made jokes about Kcalb being an old man.
Dialo and Chelan came in next with apple pie, which the hungry god savoured in joyfully. Before leaving, Chelan chirped with glee saying that she was glad she was able to help the god heal. Etihw thanked her, though she was confused. She watched the red head demon and blonde angel leave.
"Come to think of it... What happened while I was out?"
She shaked the thought off and left it for later when Kcalb was to visit her. He has been busy since they both got back. Doing both his and Etihw's work and not to mention fixing her room and explaining to the whole world what had happened.
He wasn't able to visit her frequently and she couldn't blame him. Etihw felt that she owed him big time.
Time passed with angels and demons coming and going. Etihw was grateful that everyone was worried about her, but she felt somewhat lonely. Maybe it was because Kcalb hasn't seen her in a while. She stared up at the clock.
It was 7:03 pm, almost dinner. For the past days, Etihw mostly ate alone on her bed. Sometimes Grora would wait and chat with the god until she was done to gather the dishes and wash them.
The routine was getting bored. There was nothing to do besides watch the clock or wait until someone (hopefully) arrived. No one was there to play Othello with or make fun of with old man jokes.
Etihw's thoughts were interrupted with a knock on the door. Grora came in with a tray of food.
"Sorry Etihw, I won't be able to chat with you tonight. You can leave the plates on the bedside table. " the angel apologized while preparing her meal.
"It's fine Grora. I'm sure everyone's busy. " Etihw smiled, though she was a bit disappointed. Another dinner alone.
Grora left the room and left Etihw to eat alone. For a moment, she stared at the door hoping a certain someone would enter.
"Why do I even bother... " She began eating with melancholy.

The shifting of paper filled the silence of the empty hallway. Kcalb was reading through papers adressed to Etihw while walking back to his room. Dinner was uneventful and bland to say the least. The chocolate cake tasted different and didn't improve the situation.
The devil looked up from his work to see he hadarrived in front of Etihw's room instead. He was about to walk to his room when he stopped himself. He looked at the papers then to the white diamond door.
"What else do I have to do...? I've finished paperwork, opened all letters..." A mental checklist was going on in Kcalb's mind.
"I haven't visited her in a while..." He thought.
The devil shook his head and entered the room.
As he entered, he saw the god eating slowly and silently, focusing only on the meal.
"She's been lonely the past few days..."
"Eti."
Etihw looked up from her food and immediately brightened up. Her radiant smile returned to her face as she greeted Kcalb ethusiastically. Inside, Kcalb smiled at the sight though it wasn't obvious on the outside.
"Thank goodness!! I was about to die of boredom!" Etihw sighed.
"I see you've healed your jaw."
"Well yeah duh, I'm god!"
Kcalb sighed. "You're even back to your old self."
Etihw snickered. Kcalb made his way to the chair next to Etihw. The god continued to eat joyfully while Kcalb read through the other letters he had.
" By the way," Etihw started.
"You never told me what happened after we got out of Helloid."
The shifting of papers stopped.
