Iosif.
don’t put it past me 
oooooookay something I need to address before it gets past the point of addressing
This is fine as bluster and babble, but legitimately your signup for Kanei has zero mention of Iosif or coming along for maintenance purposes. It’s fine if he thinks that after he gets there, but that can’t be used as the legitimate reason. That’s… Well, inserting-another-character’s-backstory-into-your-backstory-which-you-couldn’t-have-planned-because-both-characters-were-pending-at-the-same-time, which I don’t know if that has a name.
(the boards censored that, lol)
also is Kanei just really dumb and offering - no, forcing - Iosif to stand after he’s already specifically standing or did you just miss it twice
