Pit's eyes seemed to sparkle. "Awesome! More time for us to make some new friends, right?" He grinned. 'Joshua is a nice guy' He thought, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "Newbies should stick together!" He paused. "...Unless, you uh, don't want to stick together, that would be fine to." Same grin still stuck onto his face.

His smile became suddenly genuine - people like this boy were rare, those with pure intentions and genuine innocence.
"Of course," he said lightly. "I'd be glad to explore with you."
He would be. It was strange; he would be glad to enjoy this youth's company.

He could feel his smile getting wider. He and Joshua were going to be good friends, exploring with him was going to be the best.
"Alrighty-o! Let's head off to-" Pit cut himself off. He completely forgot that he didn't know where he was going, either. Squinting and looking around, he crossed his arms over his chest. "Why don't we just... Walk around for now?" He said, sheepish grin on his face. Hopefully Joshua wouldn't know how lost he was already.

It didn't take someone with Joshua's experience to see straight through Pit's predicament.
"Are you lost, by any chance?" he asked, smiling sardonically, once again having to flick that strand of hair back into place.

He could feel his face heating up. "I- uh- well.." He began to stutter. It was embarrassing, making a big ruckus just to find out it was all for nothing. He was quiet for a second, face flushed and eyes cast downward.
"...Kind of?" He replied timidly, sheepish smile on his face.

He patted Pit on the shoulder. "Don't worry, now. I'm lost, too..." in a way... "and perhaps we can go searching for where you came from together?"

He slowly lifted his head, showing his fading tomato-face. "Would you really do that for me?" A goofy grin spread, replacing his embarrassing red face.

"Of course," he replied with a small, amused smile. "Why not?"

Pit regained his previous posture, standing up straight with a huge grin and sparkling eyes.
"Well? Let's get going!" He said, linking arms with his new friend, despite the height difference. But suddenly, Pit looked up to Joshua with a much softer smile on his face, and said a quiet "Thank you." before skipping off into a random direction.

"Thank you."
Joshua allowed himself to be led in Pit's chosen direction as he contemplated the phrase, and smiled. The last venture he'd undertaken had left him with little thanks to be had. The change was... welcome.

Pit looked like a complete idiot, grinning wildly while skipping and bringing someone who he barely knew, but he was happy and not much things could bring him down once he was in a good mood.
"Okay! Um, we're looking for the veil, right?" Pit thought for a second before remembering that Joshua was new, so he may or may not have known what the veil was. "The veil is some sort of... Club thingy. Well, it's not necessarily a club but..." Gee, what exactly was the veil? "It's hard to explain." he said finally. "Baisically we're looking for a building... with... flashy lights." Pit explained, or atleast tried to.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"I don't remember having seen it before," he said. Disconcerting, being lost - he knew his own city like the back of his hand.

Pit was quiet for a second, dwelling in on some thoughts while pretending to stroke his non-existent beard. "... Let's just walk around for now, I guess." He decided, lowering his hand. "It can't be too hard to find a building with flashy lights, right?" He mumbled, easily convincing himself.
He began to skip ahead, once again in his sun-shiny mood and in an attempt to start up a new conversation, he asked Joshua cheerfully. "How was it like back in Shibuya? What were your friends there like?" His big blue eyes were filled with curiosity, just like a child.

He paused for no more than an instant before re-sealing his thoughts behind the unreadable mask of inscrutability that he was accustomed, by now, to wearing.
"I didn't have many friends," he admitted. "I was dedicated to my work... I'm in college, you know, I'm older than I look," a half-lie, but he was used to those too, "...and I didn't have much time to make any. There was always so much that had to be done. I'm a busy person, usually, and what friends I did have I rarely got to see." Mostly, because he'd avoided them, he realized, but he couldn't fault himself for that decision. Not yet, at least - he was still convinced it was the right thing to do.

Pit immediately stopped his in his tracks. He turned his head to look at Joshua again, sadness and surprise written onto his face, before it became a soft smile. "But you're okay now." He tightened their linked arms. "You've got me, because..." Pit grinned.
"We're friends now, right?"
