Martel had me worried for a little while a few nights ago, but other than that I've been okay. [But he's never fully okay, is he? Because of everyone else from his world who's here, because of the ones who stood in his way and could easily try to again...] I'll just guess how you're doing.
[Shakes his head.] She went out without telling me, and it was nightfall.
...horrible. [He repeats, blandly. But that next remark makes him forget about what he just repeated, causes him to get more defensive than usual:] I'm not.
[He is very tense, by the way. More than he was a few minutes ago. HE IS NOT INTO TOUCHIE.]
[ Even though Josh is quite drunk right now, he's still good with words. (When he's not texting) He just has really, really lowered inhibitions, okay? And is more giggly and touchie as you see-- ]
Relax. You can trust me, you know. We may be from completely different worlds and situations, but we both have things precious to us that we yearn to protect. Mm, and for that, I respect you.
[That isn't making him relax. He's still as tense as he ever was.]
...you do? [Can he trust Joshua? Trust can be so easily broken. It seems that's all that ever happened to his trust--destruction. But Joshua... understands. Mithos needs to keep this in mind.]
We've known each for a long time, haven't we? [ As long as anyone he knows here, really... Which is a testament to something stable, something concrete... ]
We need to look out for each other. [ Just a giggle and he's leaning his chin on your shoulder. ]
[That is... way more physical contact than Mithos is used to.]
...I... [But it's difficult, putting trust and care into others when he knows how easily it can be taken. At the same time, Joshua has never gone back on his word. Mithos isn't sure how to feel.] ...I guess.

I'm horrible, actually! [ A BRIGHT SMILE. God the alcohol makes his depressive streak oddly exciting....?! Happy? ]
And you're tense.

I'd say that's enough depression and seriousness for one night.... [ A smirk, though really it was more of a smile at this point. ]
Let's have some fun, hm?

And that is why he's finding a chair near Joshua to sit in. Yep, no other reason.]
