[ Up until recently, Mananan's followed a lot of rules. Rules that he's currently breaking and rules that he broke the previous night in revealing himself to Shiro for more than just a glimpse in passing. Following rules is what's kept a barrier between them, what's stopped him from just pulling Shiro out of captivity and sparing him the pain of it. But Mananan wouldn't be surprised or hurt to be lashed out at over his presumed negligence when it comes to protecting his human. He knows it probably seems like he's done little to nothing for him before now.
It's not something he's going to push or question, though. When Shiro seems to take that without a word of protest about it, Mananan is fine with letting it go. ]
You're my priority, but I'm not supposed to be with you all the time. If I feel that you need me, I drop everything to get to you. But, for the most part, I'm working here. [ Because no one needs an angel hovering over their shoulder constantly and it would get a little boring to follow without being seen. ] We sort of keep them in line. Every dream or creation or fiction or fantasy has their own world and we manage them, I guess you could say. We hold on to them even after humans forget about them.
[ Mananan can't help letting out a laugh when Shiro turns red, the surprise of it making him realize how it sounds. ]
You've summoned me a lot! This is just the first time I've appeared to you like this. It was such a harmless reason to need help and I thought it would be nice to finally talk to you... [ His smile sort of fades a little as he straightens up. ] I should've just brought you home and put you to bed and left. If anyone finds out about this, they'll want to make you feel like it was all a dream.
