With a smile, Josh attempted to pull the squeaktoy from Sweet Melissa's bite, tugging gently to let her know that of course he would be happy to play with her. Over the sound of her toy, Josh kept an ear on Rodeo, matching his grin when he said he could've been the next Elvis in another life. "You're completely right. Going mainstream would've been too much of a sacrifice," he nodded gravely.
Josh took a sip of the offered bourbon, even though he didn't particularly like bourbon, but you couldn't be picky with most things in life right now. And he wanted to show his appreciation for Rodeo's generosity - turning him down would have felt rude and disrespectful. "Well, thank you," Josh replied earnestly, but with a loud squeak he finally won the toy from Sweet Melissa, which ruined the serious ambiance they'd had going.
He tossed the toy towards the far end of the trailer and encouraged her to run after it so he could have five seconds to talk. "There are a few adjustments I still want to make, but it's definitely in working condition. Obviously." Josh flashed an apologetic smile, since he'd literally just used it about two days ago.
