[ G'raha tries his best for those that he cares about. Joshua has become one of those people. A true friend indeed.
He does what he can to not make a face at the dark mark, knowing full well what it is. What it means. Instead, he raises his hand over it as soon as it is exposed. ]
My friend, I truly hope that there is a means for you to escape this. Truly, a start without you in it would just not be as bright.
[It's always bittersweet to hear people say things like that to him. When he has been so ready to die to make this problem vanish all together. But he's thought many times over now that maybe he shouldn't think he has to die as a last resort.]
Whatever comes of this, I will make it through.
[Please help him by patching up his seals. It helps.]
Even worse, I fear. I am a romance novel enthusiast.
[ A chuckle. Then he begins the process of working on that seal. Perhaps pouring a bit of his own aether in there to further alleviate some of the symptoms. To bolster what cannot be an infinite supply. ]
I know what it feels like, to be torn between hope that you never wanted to hold close and desiring to be pragmatic.
[Joshua gives a gentle chuckle. Another thing in common between the two of them. Romance novels.
As the magic begins, Joshua can feel the relief almost immediately. It's like taking an instant painkiller or a medicine that opens up his lungs. He can finally breathe easier, for the moment.]
Thank you, my friend. For your understanding, as well.
[It does make him feel less alone in his decisions.]

I wasn't aware you were a poet as well, G'raha.
