He hadn't been following Joshua, specifically, but he might've been keeping tabs in a general sense -- trying not to let either kid stray too far from his notice for too long, because he liked to have a vague idea of what they were getting into, if only for this first day. He has to make up for missing senses; it feels unnatural to be left in the dark.
So he's nearby, and soon nearby enough that he can hear raised voices. The moment he sees drawn weapons, he's over there in an instant -- coming up the street from out of nowhere, moving faster than the mellow-barista act would suggest. ]
