[Oh, if only he could see what he's doing. That's the drawback to these, he guesses.]
Everyone should know about where they're from. Especially when it's somewhere like Shibuya which has the influence it does. To not know about those things means you're not a local.
[And! Maybe it'll be salt on that little wound. Or maybe balm. Who knows. But:]
You have to ask? It's your friends. You said it yourself- a lot of things happen that make you feel like it's all okay. You don't even need the threat of everything being taken away to feel like everything else is worth it. You care for them- and that's what pulls you through.
Oh, of course! But, you know the whole thing about parallel universes? Don't you think that my version of Shibuya might be a little different from yours? We're in the age of H. Is that something that sounds familiar to you~?
[ This really does feel like some cat and mouse game he's playing right now, though. And, well, Joshua is getting the upper hand. The read he's getting on Ramuda isn't all that wrong, though Ramuda is hesitant and almost loathe to admit it -- he never needed friends. All he was ever meant to do was...

You sure don't know when to shut up, do you. ☆
[ ...Shit. That wasn't what he meant to write, but the words -- the thoughts -- they just happened. ]
Of course parallels are different- it's kind of obvious. Every day there's opportunities for things to change. A passed opportunity taking its own form, somewhere, populated with parallels of the people which would have changed as result isn't all that wild of a concept. The age of H doesn't mean a whole lot for me- like tenfour shouldn't mean anything to you.
[Okay, that little accidental remark got a little laugh out of him.]
Sure don't ☆
[The star is physically drawn in. As if in imitation. Why? Because it's funny.]
I don't see why you're so grouchy over it. It's hardly my fault you asked...
Keep talking like you know everything about me, I guess! I won't stop you. You'll get what's coming to you anyway.
[ ...Or, well, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean, anyway. He does not like conversations like these to begin with, anyway, so he's very tempted to shut the book and disregard Joshua's next reply entirely. Chances are he will read the reply anyway and decide not to respond, but who knows. ]
Sure- if being kind enough to re-explain a concept you should have got the first time around makes me the one at fault, have at.
[The cutesy act has completely been abandoned at this point. Which, honestly, great. It's actually a relief to see it go, as fake as it was. He's got to wonder, though. Is this 180 some condition? He's unsure.
But. The next message.
...He really shouldn't have people after him again. Minamimoto 3 years ago. Kubo, more recently. But he can't resist.]
[ He decides not to give Joshua the time of day any longer after seeing that response, mostly because Ramuda really doesn't know what to say to that. He does not want to concede; and perhaps he's being a bit hypocritical because he, too, thinks he knows what Joshua's about here from this one conversation. Ramuda can't be sure, though. This is their only conversation thus far, after all.
But he's sure as hell going to try to dig.
...Especially after hard R. What the fuck? That shouldn't piss him off as much as it does. Ramuda grits his teeth and promptly closes his book -- slams it shut. ]
Bastard...
[ He grumbles it under his breath. Ramuda may have exited this conversation for now, but it's definitely not over yet. It won't be over anytime soon. ]
