With how hard you're staring at that shopping list, one might think you were doing math problems on the page.

[ Hello fellow shopper. ]

[purpledemoneyes]

[If it had been math, he would have tossed the list away a long time ago. Math is evil. He looks up quickly, blinking in confusion. Tsuzuki hadn't noticed that Joshua had approached him, he had been that lost in thoughts.]

Hey, Joshua.

[neverplaysfair]

Hello to you. Is something wrong?

[purpledemoneyes]

Yeah.

[Nothing is wrong with him. It's Hisoka and Draco he's worried about, so much that his mind immediately jumps to their empty-eyed gazes. They need to get better and they need to get better fast.]

I mean-- I can't find some of the things I need for dinner.

[neverplaysfair]

Mmm. I think I can help with that. [ Joshua giggles softly. ] Have you been told yet that you're a bad liar?

[purpledemoneyes]

[He offers the shopping list to Joshua so he can see what's missing.] No. Well, except from you and Hisoka.

[neverplaysfair]

[ He giggles again. ] Hisoka gets to cheat, so he hardly counts. [ He looks at the grocery list. ] ... Are you aware that this is kept on the other side of the store?

[purpledemoneyes]

I don't think he considers it cheating. [He hopes, almost naively, that Hisoak can still feel his emotions. It might be the only way they'll be able to communicate, and that makes him terribly sad.]

What? Seriously?

[He looks at the list as if it somehow has betrayed him.]

[neverplaysfair]

That explains why you couldn't find it, hee hee. This way. [ And Joshua turns and starts to walk to the end of the aisle. ]

So what's really wrong?

[purpledemoneyes]

[He almost replies "nothing!" because it's so ingrained in his psyche to resist help.]

[He picks up the pace, so he can walk to Joshua's side.]

Is it that obvious?

[neverplaysfair]

Now that all depends on how you define obvious.

[purpledemoneyes]

I guess that if you can tell, it's obvious enough. What gave me away?

[neverplaysfair]

I doubt you'd be worried enough over your groceries to look quite so forlorn over a misplaced ingredient or two.

[purpledemoneyes]

I wasn't forlorn! [Except he was. Oops. Busted.]

....Joshua, can I ask you something?

[neverplaysfair]

You're welcome to ask whatever you wish. Ah, here you go. [ And he points out where one of the rogue ingredients sits on the shelf. ]
