Josh’s eyes flickered right to Akira when he heard him say that about his mother. He felt his heart warm up yet break at the same time as he said such sweet words. “Thank you…I’m glad we share a resemblance.” he muttered shortly while walking with one hand in his pocket, the other holding onto his servants hand.
Just as he heard Akira sneeze, Josh looked at him just as he saw him trip, trying to react as soon as he could. Wrapping his arm around Akira’s waist, Josh ended up stumbling forward a bit as well from the sudden shift in weight although managed to damper the fall of them both with his footing.
Akira still ended up on the carpet under him, and because of that, Josh kept his arm wrapped around him while checking him over, looking at his ankle just in case it had re-injured. “Are you hurt?” Josh asked breathlessly while checking him over.
