[The amount of relief he feels the moment he catches the expression on Josh's face is a little ridiculous. They had long since established that they had much in common, but there was also the fact that technically speaking? They had not been with each other for all that long.

Still. Why did he seem to regard Joshua LaRue in the same way that he used to look at Kaien Yamazaki, or Feranen?

Ridiculous, really, this thing people called 'attachment'. When he smiles, it's more for himself than it is for Josh, but that's probably going to be difficult to tell.]

I suppose you're going to be stuck with me while I figure it all out.

[ For whatever reason that the former-Sin-Eater-now-Geist is smiling, Josh is just glad that he is. Honestly, he likes the guy. Makoto has, surprisingly enough, been such a grounding presence in various respects. ]

I got nothing but time, man.

[ He's offering you his pack again. The first stick is good for grounding, the second, you should be able to enjoy just for what it is. ]

[shuryoinai]

[Thank you, good sir.]

Time, and an awareness of how to use it.

[That is a compliment, done in the typical Makoto Kuzunoha style.

Yeah, he is getting better.]

[ Smiling; tapping out the ash of his stick now, and frowning as he wonders what time it is--

--and then glancing over to his clock only to find it obscured by a pillow. ]

You really should sleep.

[He's not going to force you if you don't want to, but... yeah. As things stand, he's better.]

[larue]

[ And because better always leaves more for some improvement.

Killing his finished cigarette, reaching for another. ]

I'll stay up for a bit more. [ This is a smile your way, Makoto. He'll deal with sleep in a bit. ]

[shuryoinai]

[A wry look, and then a careless shrug.]

As long as I get to smoke another one too, then.

[larue]

[ A soft chuckle as he presses the whole pack into the geist's hand. ]

I'm good with that.
