“That’s fine.” Josh answered instantly. He was pushing it enough when he said they couldn’t come, so just watching from afar wasn’t a problem, he was a rather important person and any harm that came to him would result in the security getting in trouble for not protecting him.
“Thank you.” Josh said to them shortly before looking back at Akira, beginning to proceed to walk while glancing at the dog to make sure he was alright, and then redirecting his attention back to Akira. “Sorry about that. They just want to make sure I’m safe.” Josh explained, getting towards the gates and taking a moment to ask. “Are you sure you’re ready for this?” he wondered while resting his free hand against the bars of the fence.
