Joshua carried his food to his house, and sure it was small, but since he was the only one living there, there was no need to it to be bigger. He placed the food down onto the table before taking an apple and chowing down on it, leaving only a core which he tossed into a little waste bin that he made. As he put everything away, he looked at his Mask and attire, which elicited a flashback of Emelote getting away. How many more tricks does that girl have in that bag of hers? He sat down on a seat and leaned back, trying to calm down his mind.

After a couple of minutes to think about the situation he was currently in, he got back up and walked out the door. But instead of walking down one of Cille's many streets, he began to walk out of town, towards the farms that made the outskirts of the town. I remember running through the fields when I was younger. Simpler times then... He walked without much purpose in his movements, not sure what he was out there for but maybe it would do him some good to clear his mind and get away from the one place that was causing him so much stress. That girl... I need to catch her myself and make sure that I'm not losing my touch in being a competant Mask.

Joshua continued to walk around for some time as the sun started to dip below the horizon. Eventually he found a rock to sit on and leaned back, looking up at the sky as the stars were starting to shine bright against the darkening sky. As the peace and quiet surrounded him, his mind began to wander to his past; more specifically about his parents. Was it the correct choice for them to take me away? Sure it was really dangerous... but should they have followed me as well? It was so long since he moved to the town of Cille he could no longer remember the name of his birth town, which did make him feel like he lost a part of himself.

Joshua couldn't believe it; the girl that had given him the slip so many times before was right there. They had somehow crossed paths this evening, but he was torn on what to do. Do I try to capture her and masquerade that I'm a citizen trying to collect the reward? Or do I just cut to the chase and not hide the fact that I'm a Mask? No... that's a bad idea. Just play dumb. He slowly continued walking past her without breaking stride, not wanting to give off any signals until the exact moment he wanted to strike. But when? She had magic, so even if he was able to capture her, she would be able to blind him, so would it even be worth it? Maybe it would be better to get a bit of information on her, but how would he talk to her? She looked distrustful to begin with. He walked past her and sat down by a fence post, leaning against said post before pulling out a piece of paper and started to scribble something.
