[...Josh, your remarks weren't helping in making him feel less embarrassed in the slightest. But he'd be damned if it stopped him.]

Well... if it turned out you were into that kind of thing...

[He was just joking with that, obviously~ ... But then again, people did say that lies always held some kind of truth in them, didn't they? And if something like that would indeed make Josh happier... well, there weren't really a lot of things Ryoji wouldn't do for him. Someone might keep that thought in mind...]

As do you. [Though in Joshua's case it was more of a 'last time' than 'first time,' considering.] To tell you the truth, I didn't expect you to be in such a cheerful mood while calling me out here. Things aren't as scary anymore, are they?
