Oh...yeah, I guess so, he responded. Apparently he hadn't thought this out too much, and was just focused on potentially seeing his friend again.
The prospects of having a whole fort for him and his friends kept him going in spite of his grief, as a healthy imagination could do for a young boy. It'd be the biggest castle fort! And there'd be an underwater palace we could build, it'd have even more fish in it, or mermaids--
His father stood up straighter, and sighed, choosing to interrupt. Toshi? We should be going now. We're already very late to meet mom, and I know we've got a lot of explaining to do. Why don't you say goodbye for now?
...Oh, okay. He ran back to his father, then stopped to face the two of them. Thank you for trying to help, and for chasing the mean cat away. He shuffled his foot, and rubbed at his face once more. Now that we're friends, I'll see you again someday.
