[There's a small breath of a laugh, and Joshua leans back in his seat. Everyone says that. It's not like this one would be any different - applying terms meant in a general sense to oneself specifically was only human. ...And something they tended to do a lot. Though he does move his eyes to the charms hanging from the swordbelt - mainly because of the little comment about combining beliefs. That keeps his attention long enough to look.

Anyway, the author was a remarkable man. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, if you're wondering. He maintained a strong belief about humanity. He said- “There is one problem and only one in the world: to revive in people some sense of spiritual meaning.” He goes for it with this piece by celebrating a worldview without any restrictions. It's more noticeable in later chapters of course - that's storytelling, after all. What you've covered so far, and some three chapters after it, are all about pointing out varying behaviours in characters with occupations that are supposed to be considered important. To adults, anyway.
