[He considers that for a moment, tilting his head before seemingly accepting that answer.] And where would you and I fall on that scale? Just curious.

Maybe I don't want to actually know. [Why are you such a dick? He's not thrilled by that notion because any surprise from Joshua is probably going to be life-altering and disturbing. You know. Like finding out he's still dead or he has angel wings.] But doesn't it get easier to start telling the difference? Or is it just that eventually you gain enough experience that it's easier to pick the best things?

[...that's also true. Compassion is something he understands, even if he's sometimes not the best at it. He was doing better at home, tries to be the same here but sometimes that doesn't work out in his favor.] Is that your fancy way of saying to live life to the fullest? Just hope it doesn't get us busted in the future.

[He stands then, taking Joshua's cup from him as he starts to move away.] I'll be back with the same kind.
