[FINALLY! You're a master of torment, Joshua, nice as you are. Yato gives a little cheer as the remaining paper comes off, revealing the present beneath. He's waited eight thousand years seconds for this moment! Before Joshua can even utter a word, his expression tells all, revealing to Yato his approval and thus earning him a bright smile in return.]

Hehe, glad you like it.

[Tucking both hands into his pockets, he comes up beside Joshua to watch him take in the details he spent so long on. It wasn't easy trying to sneak in to study his chocobo pal without anybody noticing.]

That's what I was hoping to hear! I know we didn't exactly get started on the right foot, so I've been thinking of a way to apologize more sincerely for the hassle and damage I caused back then.

[The hug takes him a bit by surprise, but as one who never turns down affection of any sort, he quickly embraces his friend in return, patting him on the back.]

I hope you'll continue to live a long and happy, healthy life, Joshua. That's my wish to you as both a friend and god.
