Zero-Three's gaze was rather playful when she spoke. In fact, she did not want to help or some gift, but was merely interested in seeing what sort of reaction Joshua would have under such a situation. Naturally, she never expected that the warrior would nod seriously after some thought.
"I definitely have something to give you, but it would be I who help you instead of the other way around." Joshua crouched to stick his face close to Zero-Three so that he could speak secretly and smoothly. His expression was solemn, and yet his tone was earnest. "Come to think of it, you might be the only one who could help me on this."
"Then… Then do tell." Facing the warrior who suddenly approached her with such a serious expression, Zero-Three who had intended to tease took one step back uncomfortably instead. Her voice became a little panicked and also rather quiet. "What do you… need my help with?"
"I can't tell."
