[...okay, that gets him laughing, dammit. It's too precious and innocent; he'd completely forgotten that Joshua isn't from the same sort of modern world he is. So those first couple of photos are going to be a bit blurry from his shoulders shaking with mirth.]
[Lowering the camera back down as they talk, Yato's face falls as the discussion turns serious. He wouldn't have thought the kid had much wrong with him except for perhaps being a bit out of practice with swordplay. To know that he was pushing a sick young man harder than he probably should have... Guilt wells up and he bites his lip, thinking about whether or not to apologize. It couldn't hurt, but he also doesn't want to make things even more awkward.]
I see... For what it's worth, it doesn't show much. You're a damn strong guy, and resilient, too. I'm really impressed with how you don't let that get you down - not everybody could handle it with the same grace and fortitude.
[From now on, he's definitely going to make sure Joshua rests more often during training. Drinks more water. Eats more. He may not be one of his shinki, but he still feels a responsibility towards the kid. That's why he allows a smile to come back to his face along with a nod. This is a happy occasion!]
Hey, you're totally welcome! And here's to an assload of happy times, yeah? You definitely deserve them and much more. If you ever need anything or have any wishes you want fulfilled, you know where to find me!
Now how about opening your present, huh? I wanna see what you think!
[He gets behind Joshua in order to gently shove him towards the overly large package. Go on! Go for it!]
