[ Joe's never seen Dennis as someone who wasn't a good person. Learning, maybe, nervous and prone to mistakes and a little bit of awkwardness, but never not a good person. Then again, even after a year of knowing him, there's still a lot about Dennis that Joe doesn't know, and vise versa.
For a moment, he thinks maybe he's said something wrong ( of course. typical. great job, Joe ) when Dennis smile falters and his attitude shifts for a moment. He breathes out through his nose, about to apologize for whatever stupid thing he's just said without realizing it, when Dennis' smile returns, bringing with it a small sense of relief.
Joe chuckles, shaking his head. As far as he's concerned, nothing good comes from Joe rubbing off on anyone. Everything he touches eventually falls apart - improvement and growth aren't things he bestows upon anyone. ]
Don't credit me, it's been all you.
[ And he believes that much. Dennis has grown a lot as a person since the day he first met him, but Joe would never take credit for that. He couldn't and he won't, even if Dennis thinks otherwise.
Joe wets his lips, setting his drink back down on the counter, untouched. He leans on the same hand, looking at Dennis with a faint fondness in his eyes. How a year has gone by so fast is beyond him, and it's also a little bit terrifying, but... for the most part, it's been a good year. In comparison to his life before Eudio, it's been pretty great. ]

... Yeah. Sounds kind of crazy, doesn't it?
