Joseph quietly listened to a very upset Yugo that was finally heading back over with George. It was kind of flattering to hear someone get so angry, even if they didn't fully understand everything. Actually he already knew more than the young man was comfortable with. He would need to write a report after this, causing strangers and others he didn't know nearly enough to know things that the peachy person would prefer be private. The individual no longer had a right to hide a lot of these details anymore, not if they wanted to do the right thing. ~Deep breath~ These words were signed as Yugo got on the vehicle. Now it actually sped off towards the coral peacock headquarters. A few breaths were taken, but the heart continued to rush even as they stopped at the p-roper location. A lot had happened that day. Something nice before something not so nice. ~What George said wasn't particularly much worse than how he normally speaks to me. We never got along because of how much time his parents spent trying to help with my needs. All of them only know music, he wont listen to you.~ There was a pause in the signing. These words needed to be said before they got inside, he felt. Just in case the person at the desk was someone older than he knew. He hadn't exactly gone out of their way to seek out any coral peacock, but this was still the town the young man had been raised in.

Not knowing any at all at any point to any extent would have been pretty hard, even for someone awkward like him. ~After we bring him in, hes going to be handed over to one of the coral peacocks inside. He will be detained, we will need to make a written report, then it will be decided who does his questioning and what other steps to take. Okay?~ Deep breath, don't loose it yet. The vehicle vanished as soon as the last person stepped off of it. Their pink eyes were still filled with a number of emotions, these deep breaths things never helped as much as talking to them self did. Anything he spoke with hands would have been read by that person though. Still, a few more deep breaths were had before going in. The person at the front wasn't someone he knew, but they seemed informed about the situation. The transmission spell was finally ended. When the prisoner was taken it felt like one huge pressure had been replaced with another one. Doing the right thing wasn't easy, but it was his mission in life to do just that. There was a mix of emotions, that deep dread, but also a fear and upset that had been boiling ever since he realized Yugo hadn't cuffed George. Finding out they hadn't even brought the equipment along with them had been a horrifying find. How could one simply forget something so important?!

Ever since meeting this person, Yugo gave off the feel of someone naive to much of the world. Knowing them better now, they felt even more naive! He turned towards Yugo, slapping the pale haired beauty before grabbing their shoulders and shaking them a little. He tried to talk, but no sounds came out. It was one of those strange moments where his body said to do something, but it couldn't fully follow through with it. This was possibly the closest to attacking someone he ever got to, but the slap wasn't exactly the worst attack a person could do on anyone, nor was it malicious. None of these things made Joseph feel any better though. This was extremely upsetting and frustrating. The kiss after was much less violent at least. “You could have gotten hurt or killed if he wasn't a pacifist. Idiot, don't forget important equipment.” That was what he got out before the mouth became silent again. More urges to shake the person again bubbled up, but these didn't follow up on it this time. He instead started using his hands to sign words out. ~Don't just stand up for me than risk your life needlessly. Please place reminders to yourself on what you need to take with you every day from now on. I'm touched that you got so upset for my sake. They wanted me to become an operatic singer or something as equally impressive, not a sitting doll.

I'm grateful that you made me realize I need to treat myself the way I treat others. Now, I'm going to put a lot in the report that I’m not comfortable with. You don't need to read it, it would just be easier to write if I'm not alone during the process. Would you be willing to help me with that? My mind isn't very nice to itself all the time when I'm alone.~ He was starting to calm a little, but emotions were still a bit all over and high. Everything felt like a horrible mess, but this didn't change the reality of things. Strong emotions wouldn't magically mean he hadn't just helped turn their own cousin in, or that he wasn't about to write a report that would certainly cause the rest of his fathers family to be arrested. They deserved it, but a small part of the young man was feeling ungrateful and horrible. Even if the reality was him being betrayed a long time ago, again and again. It felt a little like he was the one in the wrong. It wasn't that easy to just turn over and admit you had been treating yourself to a lower bar of care than other people, even when it was realized. Issues caused by that don't puff into smoke, nor the emotions and thoughts. The orange peachy haired person was doing his best, but with every second a sinking feeling had started to set in.

There had never been a thought of a romantic relationship, except how to avoid them. Joseph had been certain he had one type, that it was out of reach enough that he would never have to feel any concern. That type was elegant, feminine, dressed self respecting, and intelligent. Yugo wasn't a woman, but technically had a feminine and elegant look. They technically dressed in a self respecting way, and acted as much as well. Intelligent? They were book smart, but so naive. A level of innocence that could be its own type of stupid, noticeable from the moment they met. This wasn't their type that they knew of, yet here they were. There was something that made him, want to both kiss and strangle Yugo. Naivety could be really dangerous, that pale haired silver eagle had a lot to learn. This was the first time the peachy haired person had spent a lot of time with that seemed so sheltered. He was starting to understand what real innocence that wasn't on a child actually looked like. The impersonation of it the dawn colored young man had worked hard to make was a poor one, he could see that now. It was like painting a garden based on descriptions in books, but without ever having seen a garden yourself. They weren't really sure why they had done the first kiss, the emotions had been wrapped with fear and frustration.

Even now, Cobborn really wanted to shake that person to get it into them how dangerous that was. He also didn't slightly fight against the kiss Yugo had given him. Instead, there had been an urge to grab and pull them in, but that was something easily ignored. He wasn't the type to touch people much, it wasn't something Joseph grew up doing that he knew of. Yugos flushed face was a scene, like one could see the rushing of thoughts and feelings through that person. There was something in writing concerning human behavior that he had doubts about being a thing until now. That people could feel a rush of emotions, an increase in heartbeat, flushed face, and a rose tinted hue. Had his own mother robbed him from the ability of being able to feel that way? Would continuing with them be taking advantage of that purity? He did have some feelings for the Blake, even if the deep orange haired persons face wasn't pinked anywhere, outside of their own eye color. His own eyes didn't have a rose tinted vision, but there were some feelings. There had also been a level of care from the idiot that had somehow charmed him. Even if he didn't know if it was right to keep going in this, the young man wasn't going to cut this relationship off. Whatever it was, it was theirs now. He would be careful to try to not take advantage of the other.

Also, the ex azure deer needed to sort a lot out in himself as well. They would need to get to know each other more. It might be a lot easier to navigate all of this with someone else. He had noticed when joining azure deer how much easier everything was when someone was there through working with Naxel. Then that person left and nobody else filled that empty space it left. There was a need for a friend that could be there that hadn't known was a need until getting one then loosing it. Yugo might be able to fill that, though he had never had any urges to kiss Naxel and really liked how it felt kissing this person after it was done. There had been no expectations for a first kiss because expectations had been that it wouldn't happen. Joseph ended up being the one instigating it. His attractions were not as black and white as he thought they were. Emotions were not as easy to understand as facts that could be found in forests or written on paper. There was no way to be fully in control of emotions, but he had thought they were easier to understand than this. The amount of research he did to understand people, added with his own personal experience he had thought that it would make understanding people and things easier. It had been useful in helping himself emotionally and mentally recover, but there was no skeleton key to the human mind.

Maybe he needed to loosen his grip and just accept that not everything could be fully understood nor controlled. Life would be easier if that was the case, but if it was than the first kiss wouldn't have happened. Hands started moving, signing ~I~ before pausing a bit. ~Zaven is your father? Captain Zaven? The Captain of the Golden Dawn, the current magic knight order I currently serve under? The man that saved my life in Kikka?~ This was a bit unexpected. His mind had blanked a bit, not fully registering the information up until now. ~Sorry, I keep forgetting I'm a member of the Golden Dawn now. It's still weird. A lot happened at once. This seems to be a theme for things lately.~ Now back on topic? Yes, the one at hand. Stop thinking that you just kissed your captains son. That was technically what he had done? Was kissed back and wanted to do again. ~I didn't expect to kiss you, but it was very nice. The fear wasn't nice. I have no interest in doing interrogation myself, but I know it is a very useful tool. Thank you for the promise, please remember it.~ No more mistakes that might cost you your life! It was still buzzing through the young mans mind. For the hand that grabbed his own, it was nice. He could finally calm down a bit. “Thank you, lets go write those reports.”
