[ Oh. He'd thought that... that it wasn't something taken seriously. But for him to say it later, to Clive, means that Dion had been thinking of it after the fact.

Had Dion truly been flirting with him? He had dismissed it, especially after Dion had apologized for the wording, but now he finds himself wondering. After realizing that Ezell had been flirting with him earlier that night - and more than just the one night, at that, long before that night - it's entirely possible.

But... no. It's hard for him to fully believe. Dion doesn't seem the type. Joshua pulls in a breath, turning his head to look towards Torgal with a soft sigh. ]

... I think he has someone at home, Clive. Someone important to him. He said as much. And if that is the case, I'm certain he doesn't think highly of me in that way.

[ Clive has Jill at home, technically, but. Maybe he misunderstood, when he'd urged Clive to take Jill to see the flowers? Perhaps there hadn't been anything there after all. Clive certainly doesn't seem to be bothered by his interest in Luca. ]

I am content to be his friend. We were robbed of the chance long ago, but friends are one thing that could do him some good now.
