He was unsure who or what he would encounter- all he knew was that he could and he would shoot.
It was subtle, and easy to miss- nothing more than a shadow in his peripheral that informed him that he was no longer alone. Joshua, alert as he was, stopped dead in his tracks, moving to face whoever it was that dared approach him.

“Tell me who you are,” He demanded of the figure, his voice even, masking any traces of the unease he currently felt.
