[Joshua tilts his head.]

I never claimed that a touch of underhandedness isn't occasionally necessary. [Joshua is a corsair, do not forget.] I would not fault a man for doing what he must to pursue the goal he deems worthy.

[He would never fault Clive or Cid for doing what they needed to do for the good of their world. To find and see the peace that they need in Valisthea. Peace and change does not always come easy. Joshua is not so naive to not understand that.

So take the compliment, Khalid!!]
