Separation is fine. Josh has plenty going on that he doesn't want Han to be hovering over his shoulder while he's dealing with it. People have their lives and he's absolutely right. Separation is something he can deal with, even if it's not Josh's favorite idea.
Isolation is what he can't deal with.
He's had a fear of it for years, exacerbated by the disappearance of his sisters and his parents and friends' withdrawal after. Multiplied to a crippling paralyzing anxiety after his weeks of being left alone in the mines, after that awful night when he enacted his 'Plan'. And isolation is what he had feared from Han leaving.
For now that has been waylaid quite well.
"Okay so...spanners and elbow grease I'm guessing?" Josh tries to think of what else they'd even need. Give him a second. He can ask intelligent mechanical questions. "What do we do about the bolts rusted on?"
