[ A look of genuine surprise moves across Joshua’s face at the news his brother had returned to Valisthea. How could this be when his user name has shown ‘active’ all this time??
That look had been melting into concern, but this is disrupted by the bounce in movement and Clive’s next words which cause Joshua to chuckle as well; a smile blooming on his face while his shoulders rise and his hand moves to block his mouth.
Joshua listens intently to Clive and before he knows it they’ve arrived at the bath house. He hasn’t even had the time to struggle out of the other man’s clutches…still he touched down gracefully enough. ]
That you had returned to Valisthea…how strange… Our communication devices listed you as present here in Etraya— how is it possible for you to be in two places at once, yet distinctly not? As far as I am aware no one has seen you…
[ Has it really been five weeks? That fever must have been terrible for him to not notice such a large amount of time passing. It all is making Joshua’s head hurt a little. As he is still shaky he takes a seat and begins disrobing for the bath. He has only managed his socks and has grabbed the hem of his shirt before he freezes, eyes darting up to Clive’s like he has been startled. ]
[Clive's smile widens at the sound of Joshua's laugh. He misses that sound. There aren't opportunities to laugh much back home, but here he may have the chance to hear it more. Wouldn't that be a treat?]
I was wondering why Dion and Vax were able to send me messages. I wondered if maybe they were trying despite my name not being active, but it sounded more like they thought I was missing and not... gone.
[But to be at two places at once... Clive was thinking he might finally have an excuse to talk to Aurora himself.]
I may have to-
[Clive stops as he makes eye contact with Joshua. He frowns.]
Joshua... what are you hiding?
[The sixth sense of a big brother with both a protective streak and a little brother prone to mischeif.]
