Appointment Post
Want your character to interact with Joshua, but don't want to start an entirely new post or log just for that? Or do you simply want them to leave a message for him? If so, you're in the right place! This is a catch-all posts for all interactions that don't quite warrant their own post or log

The most evident was that Joshua now has his memories back. And he had said nothing about it at all. They definitely need to have a talk and Joshua also deserves to know he's back to normal and he should probably thank Joshua for his patience in dealing with such a truly annoying effect and just how much that had to have hurt.
So at some point towards dinnertime, Joshua will hear a knock on the door.]

...Hey, Loewe. [He probably still feels a bit awkward about speaking to him after what happened the other day. That would explain why his smile's a bit off today, at least...]

And I see you have your memories back, Joshua.
I should also apologize for my behavior during the experiment and while under the effect of the kidnapping.

It's fine. [Joshua still feels pretty awkward about the experiment, but the rest was never a problem in the first place - and to be fair, Leonhardt wasn't the only one whose behavior differed because of the experiment.
...No, he's not responding to that comment about his memories just yet. That can wait a moment.]

And what about not telling me about your memories being back?
[Of course, in some ways he's a bit upset because he is thinking Joshua prefers him as he was before and what he said while under that effect was just a white lie to not cause more problems.]

...I didn't exactly have the chance to tell you, Loewe. [Partial truth there. There was definitely a small time frame when he could have mentioned it - the week immediately after regaining his memories - but it really shouldn't be too surprising that he didn't want to say anything then, considering he was still sorting things out and all.
And after that, Leonhardt was kidnapped... and then he came back acting like he did ten years ago. He can't exactly bring this sort of thing up under those circumstances, can he?]

I find that a bit hard to believe. I merely wished to know I no longer have to hide that I have known you for so long.

You didn't have to hide it in the first place. [Mentioning it earlier might have helped him recall things a little more quickly. And if he was keeping quiet about that because of orders from someone... well, they're the only ones from their world here right now. As long as that doesn't change, it's not as if he would have gotten into trouble for bringing that up. Right? And even if someone did show up, with one exception, it shouldn't have been too hard for them to simply keep quiet about Leonhardt mentioning that to Joshua.]
...But you're probably right. I should have said something sooner. [It's just... it's not all that easy to bring that sort of thing up when you just remembered so much, especially when it's looking extremely likely that Leonhardt's still with the society... even if he kind of wants to hope that he's wrong about that ( ... )

I have to follow orders. I could say nothing that could risk you learning of us again until you recovered your memories. I could only do so much.
[But he did help arrange it so Joshua could get them back, at least he was able to do that much since he can always blame it on them acting of their own choice.]

...Did the professor give you that order? [His voice is flat as he speaks - not quite emotionless, but close. There's something that doesn't quite fit with what he can recall, and it's something that's been bothering him, but his tone does a fairly good job at masking that fact.]

And really it's becoming more and more evident that Joshua no longer trusts him and those things he said a few weeks back were then likely lies since it is rather hard to like someone you cannot even trust to be near you.]
I merely wanted you to know I was back to my normal self and that there is no more need for lying to me. I did not mean to bother you.

But first things first.]
You're not bothering me. [If he was, he'd already have ended the conversation by now, more likely than not.
... ]
...Do you want to come in for a while? [There's actually something he kind of wants to ask about, but it's not something he wants to bring up somewhere where others might end up overhearing. Sure, it likely wouldn't matter much to someone not from their world, but... still.]
Reply
I'd like that. I cannot promise I can answer all your questions though.
Reply
Without another word, he'll open the door a little further, stepping out of the way so that Leonhardt can enter the apartment. They can properly continue their conversation once that's done with.]

If you were curious, Renne was doing well last I saw her. She misses you, of course. [And him too, since he was away on some more lengthy missions and couldn't see her.]

You can sit down, if you want. [There's really no need for him to keep standing while they're here.]
