"...I suppose so." This is venturing into lecture territory, and Joscelin doesn't like that. But he isn't feeling the same visceral hatred of being talked down to that he had earlier today. Maybe it's because he wants to keep his new friend. At least that's what he hopes Shin is. He wants so badly to stay Shin's friend, even though he's only known the other shinki for less than an hour. There's something honest about him that Joss trusts.

He wants to be better so that Shin will stop looking at him with those disappointed eyes.
