[ That ambition rings a little too close to someone he knew back in his world, enough to put Joshua even more on edge, though he tries not to let it show. Tries to maintain a calm facade. Antagonizing someone while he's powerless himself is an easy way to end up back in his grave, and he's not quite ready to perish.
Besides, whether this man should end up foe or tentative ally, it would be prudent to try and understand his motives. Joshua already knows any verbal attempts to convince him to change his mindset would only fall on deaf ears. Some are simply past the point of saving, a hard truth he's learned time and time again as of late.
At the very least, he hasn't wound up stabbed or maimed yet, so he knows he's not dealing with a complete loose canon –a small, tenuous comfort. ]
