It's taking no small amount of patience on Neku's end to restrain himself from braining Joshua with a nearby dumpster, and as anti-social as he is, he isn't generally easily provoked into violence.
He pointedly crosses his arms, yet again ignoring the offered hand shake for a moment. This kid is positively oozing self-superiority and pisses him right the fuck off. Not to mention the condescending pet names that keep oozing out of his smug mouth every other sentence.
... But on the other hand, he's really not in the mood to pick a fight as it is.... groaning inwardly he offers a quick, curt handshake, eager to get the formal contact out of the way and over with.
Neku continues to stare, though his expression is reading less outwardly hostile and more just irritated. This kid is obviously lying, but to what end he can't really figure out; Neku KNOWS that he's not even remotely impressive fighter, as little practice as he has with his powers. And what the hell does he mean by *persuasion*?
"Ugh.... Look, I'm just not in to the whole hero scene. I don't just go around *helping people*. So nice try, but if it's all the same to you, I'm just going to just forget this ever happened and move on with my life."
