i wonder what brought this question on

... honestly, no. She might be able to come to a point where she could deal with him, but that would require basically an immediate 180 on his part, to be respectful and good and basically never slip up ever. Roc's memories, and judging from plurk, her upcoming memories, have basically shit the bed far too much- she has been given the impression that Yato does not respect Hiyori at all, and this pisses her off immensely. She thinks he's a pretty shitty person! Like, she saw the thing with Yukine and the sins, but here's the important kicker:

she doesn't understand what happened there at all. It was all from Hiyori's PoV, and Hiyori didn't understand anything, and things like... all of that are totally non-existent in Nightingale's world. So without understanding that, all she knows is that there was intense danger, Yato might have done good? But she still thinks he's only after banging Hiyori and doesn't really care for or respect her.

But wait, there's more!

Another important note is that in Nightingale's world, all the gods are dead- specifically, people very specifically and very intentionally killed all their gods. Nightingale- and most kids in her world- are raised on stories of the ancient heroes who killed the gods. Because in her world, gods are uniformly evil, and the only out-of-there experience she has with actual gods is from Bluebird's memories... which were the NPCs of Sabra who were basically lying torturing murderous fuckshits, in her eyes. So Yato's status as a god makes her automatically convinced he's completely evil, too.

(The life cycle of a god in her world goes something like: People require a god over some sort of aspect of their civilization to help. A god is formed to answer the needs of the people. However, a god cannot change its purpose, and will go out of their way to bar progress of people that would render the gods' domain obsolete, until the gods have to be killed for the sake of progressing. The best example I have is the first god in their world was the god of the hunt, for hunter/gatherer peoples. when people first started to develop agriculture, the god was furious and tried to block this wherever possible, even though hunting and gathering alone can't support their population anymore, so people had to go kill this god so humanity could enter the next era. then a couple centuries later a new god is needed, repeat.)

so basically what i'm getting at here is, the ingrained knowledge of gods in nightingale's mind is:
1) evil and awful and do terrible things for their own egos
2) incapable of change

So combined those with what Yato has done to Hiyori in the memories and what a creepy fuck he is, she's never going to like him, and never going to be convinced he's anything but awful, and at best could only tolerate him for Roc as long as he's nothing but kind and respectful to her.

So do Yukine and Ren have different feelings towards Yato?
