[Joshua has an immense task on his shoulders. To put it simply he has a piece of a death god's soul in his body that he needs to destroy before it takes over. He is on a limited amount of time to destroy it too. Lest it escapes his body and wreaks havoc on this world... annilating everything.

He had heard of Emet-Selch from G'raha Tia at first. And from a few passing conversations with Cid Telamon as well. That is why he reaches out now to the man. Because he had heard bits about this man's control over... aether.]

Hello, my lord. Joshua Rosfield of the Grand Duchy of Rosaria. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[Sorry, old royal habits die hard.]

Thank you for coming this far to meet with me. I had heard that you are quite knowledgeable when it comes to aether...?
