[ At first, the screen is blank. It's resting on top of Aziraphale's bed - though, of course, no one can tell that quite yet - and all that can be heard is mumbled words, quiet whispers. If you pay attention you might even recognise the voice. ]

[Honestly, Joshua doesn't know what to say. Perhaps, quite frankly, there isn't anything to be said at this point. He isn't one to normally stand on ceremony, but he makes an exception for this. The 'teen' knocks on the door gently, perfectly willing to wait for Aziraphale to open the door when ready.]

Aziraphale? It's Joshua.

[ It takes him a long moment but he moves, pushing himself to his feet and stretching to unlock the door. He could have done it with a flick of his hand, a thought, but he needed the distraction, needed the movement. ]

Hello, dear boy.

;; He never wants Azi to speak of what he's going to do ever.

[The teen opens the door, steps inside, and closes it behind him. A small part of him is surprised at how much it hurts to see Aziraphale like this. However...after living with them for over half a year, he's liked and accepted being part of this family, no matter how broken it is. Joshua isn't entirely used to it, but it's grown on him.

It's why he pauses for a moment before gently embracing the angel, though the gesture is hesitant. He's not sure how well-received it'll be, and...honestly, he's almost forgotten what it's like to support a loved one like this. Though mostly hidden, there's a pale dusting of pink across Joshua's cheeks that Aziraphale may or may not notice. The teen's not accustomed to simple displays of affection like this.

However...it looks like Aziraphale needs the comfort of the little family he has left. The man's been through so much hurt to the heart, perhaps too much to go through alone.

Still, Joshua remains silent, always patiently waiting for when Aziraphale is ready to talk.]

[ His arms fold around Joshua weakly and he just... Let's himself hug. He's aware of how uncomfortable the boy is - he can feel it, deep in his bones - but he tries not to focus on that too much. He just wants to be relaxed and happy; an impossible dream, perhaps. ]

... Forgive me. I'm - I'm not used to... Losing.
