[ it makes sense that a pseudo immortal like Joshua doesn't really sleep well or have anything akin to a fixed sleeping schedule, because what happens when you go from needing absolutely zero sleep at all to having human needs?
so that explains why he's probably one of the (very few) people still awake at this hour - the lights in the kitchen are on, and while the countertops look clear, there is the smell of apples and cinnamon in the air and clearly coming from the oven. joshua himself is seated at one of the communal tables with an iced coffee in front of him (again, terrible living habits, who drinks coffee in the middle of the night,) and mindlessly scrolling on his phone.
he looks up when his name is called, and gives argenti a wave in response. ]
Hello, Argenti.
[ a side effect of Character Development (tm) from Everything Happens a Lot, joshua is definitely more relaxed than argenti is, and that's probably the only reason why he isn't as antagonistic as he usually is. ]
Not at all. The timer just started.
[ oven timer, he means. he's killing time, literally. ]
[ Argenti has been someone who has occasionally also kept to late nights, so he is inclined to say no, but then again, he does realize that it isn't necessarily the whole truth. If anything, as this is before he's had answers from Braphine regarding Fray, some of those worries pertain to that! But, the scent is pretty much welcome.
The red head comes closer towards the oven when the sweet smell is strongest, though he will turn his gaze back towards Joshua, who is drinking iced coffee.
Well, it could be worse. He could be having a sports drink!
Interesting to see he's more relax, though. ]
I suppose just a little. I had been out on a night walk, but perhaps I was mulling over our current circumstances as well.
...And a realization as well. I have never worked with a group of people for this long. Maybe it's a bit of delayed surprise.
Or maybe just some reflecting after so many months. When large confrontations are on the horizon, it is enough to make many stop, think, and reflect, isn't it?
[ thankfully it is just coffee and not any kind of other of weird herbal tonic drink that he seems to like........ twewy food, man.
also, when argenti takes a look at the oven - there is an apple pie baking in the oven! someone's taken to pastry making after the kitchen was taken over by bread the past week. ]
I'm not much for walking, but I have heard that it clears the mind. Reflecting should be an ongoing thing, should it not? [ joshua "hates physical activity" kiryu is his name, after all. ] And I'm not entirely surprised. You do seem a bit like a lone ranger type of guy. Nothing wrong with long term collaborations~
[ there's an inside joke and a bit of a sly smile accompanying joshua's words - he's seen the times argenti has had some form of wanderitis and going off on his own to do things during the few times they were palace exploring together.
and since this is before the braphine network post confirming the final endgame thing: ] You are convinced that there will be some kind of final confrontation happening soon?
Argenti doesn't have a particular inclination towards many types of foods, but the sweet scent of an apple pie is promising. ]
I suppose you are correct - in regards to reflecting being a necessary, constant thing.
[ A memory surfaces, of somewhere less pleasant for a second, telling him to take a moment for reflection, but it doesn't hurt so deeply on recollection either. If anything, it makes him look briefly wistful, and smiling softly, even if its tinged momentarily with a drop of sadness. That too leaves at the rest of Joshua's, though, swifter than anything. ]
I am, yes. That is probably why I got along with a dear friend of mine who was a Galaxy Ranger himself. But, long term collaborations are far more enjoyable than I ever anticipated.
[ Yeah, Argenti's wanderitis has been certainly sighted on the regular, hasn't it? He's got a reputation now! As for the other subject, though... ]
I do. We were only supposed to be here for a certain amount of time. And with the circumstances ramping up, along with the that end date in general ever encroaching upon us, I feel as if that it is an inevitability.

Something keeping you up? It's late.
