Who: the good folks on the caprine
Broadcast: not likely!
Action: for the good folks on the caprine, or anybody visiting.
When: right now? right now!!!

[ Whether you're new to the ship or happy to be back or really mad to be back...you're here. That's what matters.

Because it's a mingle post. You know how it is. ]

[Joseph nods slowly. This is good. It's...closer to what it should be. Maybe not exactly, but it's more than close enough for it to count for Joseph.]

I'd like that. But I don't want to know just about him. I want to know about you, too. Granny never talked about you. [He tilts his head a little.] I guess she was worried anything might have given the truth away.

[Joseph's not always the sharpest tool in the shed, but who knows what he would have done with any detail about his mother. He'd have been too tenacious not to follow it wherever it might lead, so it very well might have put him on this path sooner, led him to discovering the truth on his own rather than someone having to tell him or accidentally stumbling into it.]

[ ... Her looks softens, a little. It's not really a smile, but ... ]

... She knew, I think, the type of child you would be.

[ The type who would ask questions if there was even the slightest hint that she was alive. The type who would go find her, if he even had the smallest clue. Maybe even if he didn't. Erina knew the type of person she had been far too well to not expect as much from her son. ]

Maybe.

[His small grin is just the barest of hints that maybe Joseph wasn't always the easiest child to raise when it came to telling him "no." Whether he managed to charm his way through or if he was just bound and determined to do what he wanted varied, but he was used to getting things his way in the long-run.]

You haven't actually seen Granny since you left, have you?
