Joshua's silent for a moment, taking a small bite of his half-eaten pastry before picking up the mug and sipping the cider. He's actually taking the time to enjoy the taste before taking another sip. Though it is nice to be doing something so mundane while sitting next to Estelle like this, like it's normal.]
