"You are not mad." Just...distressed, and understandably so. With his free hand Joshua reaches up to cup Clive's cheek, wishing more than anything that he could erase the brand beneath his palm.
"I am here and I am alive...I promise you that this is no trick or delusion." It hurts, admittedly, to think that he would be considered such. Clive had not forgotten him, but being considered dead was more or less the same was it not? The corners of his eyes sting with tears that threaten to spill over, but he holds them back.
"I am so, so sorry Clive...I never meant to let you suffer alone for all these years...circumstance did not allow me to approach you but brother I have missed you dearly..."
