[If he could have it his way, he'd almost prefer not letting Joshua get involved at all. That feels like a luxury he won't be able to afford. When he was younger, that would have been easier. Now, his brother has become wilful. A blessing and a curse to protect someone who is stalwart in just such a way.

But perhaps Clive's desire to guard him is a little more selfish. A desire to feel needed. Self-punishment? Restricting himself to something he feels he's only barely deserving of? He could get lost in that.]

Concerned I'm unable to get water for myself now? I won't have you needlessly worrying over me.

Must needs it be worry that drives me to help my brother?

[Stubborn as Joshua has grown to be, he's had a fine role model to guide him. Part of what made, makes, him idolize Clive so much is how ready the elder Rosfield is to stand by his beliefs and dig in his heels when the time comes for it.]

[Joshua finds it difficult to be as brazen as Clive. Ever since he was a child, he lacked that special kind of mettle, but he's apt enough with words to express his tenacity another way.]

It's only water. Allow me this chance to take care of you, as you have always done for me.
