[Oh good, if this had been his shinki, a younger boy f fourteen, he would've taken the whole ordeal as some humiliating insult, most likely. Sometimes older kids are so much easier to deal with. Even if technically Joshua hasn't been a kid for quite a while.]

[Have no fear--! That's exactly what Yato does, whipping a camera from within what must be the godly hammerspace that is his jacket before snapping several quick pics with only a warning of "Cheese!"]

[It certainly wasn't asked with that intention, no, but he's always up for deeper conversations when the situation calls for it. It's a good way to get to know people better, and he's keen on learning more about his friends. So while Joshua thinks over the matter, he waits patiently.]

[When the answer finally comes, he's taken somewhat aback. The surprise is evident in both his voice and expression.]

...really? That young?

[Truthfully, he doesn't know much about Joshua's past. Though now's as good a time as any to learn, should he care to share those details with him. If not, well. It can wait for another time.]

So you were expecting death sooner than this, huh...? Whatever the case, I'm glad you made it this far. You deserve this much and more, Joshua.
