[Clive may not outwardly show it, but Joshua can tell he's frustrated. It's there under the surface of his skin, a simmering, low heat. Perhaps he shouldn't have brought up their father, but he hadn't done so to guilt Clive or make him feel poorly about himself. He isn't trying to admonish him...just encourage him.
His brother pulls away and moves to stand by the flames, leaving Joshua's hand cold.]
Clive...you know that's not what I meant. You've danced around one another for years. Tell her you love her. I promise you, it is no harder than telling me that you love me.
[Even if the love they share as brothers is clearly of the familial sort.]
We finally have the chance to live normal lives here, Clive. None of us should squander the time we've been given and should take every opportunity to embrace everything and everyone we love to the fullest.
