"So far." [The look he gives Joshua is nothing short of slightly venomous...but since he's a 15 year old boy he probably just looks more like he's pouting.] You? I think you fall on the double agent spectrum. [That is to say he doesn't entirely buy any of what Joshua says for that exact reason. Joshua never gives real answers.]
We're gonna face each other eventually aren't we? [He doesn't like the idea, but he knows it's better to bring up the possibility now than avoid it.] Just might not be on the field. Call it another kind of experience drenched in a bunch of grays. Trust me, I'm not looking forward to that.
The one who owns Wildkat, right? You make him sound like a pretty wise guy. [He had been fine up until then, fine to make little jokes and jabs...and then no, Joshua had to go and ruin it by reintroducing reality.] Whoa, what? ...I...
[...nope. Not at all. He stares blankly for a moment, hand curling around the cup before he shakes his head.] I'll be right back. [Yup. He's just bolting to get more tea instead so he can think of maybe a decent answer. Maybe. Goddamnit Joshua.]
