[digiorno]

Mm, then he got that somewhere else . . .

[He doesn't have all the answers, but in a way that's more rewarding. If Fugo didn't get all of his answers in the same place, then he integrated his information thoughtfully. Good.]

[He smiles a little.]

That's not really the point, anyway. He seemed put at ease by you. Well, relatively. [For Fugo.]

[lapidarius]

Was he? He seemed kind of on edge when we spoke. Not that I can really blame him for that, running into a Stand user he'd never seen before.

[digiorno]

. . . He's normally about twenty times more on edge than that.

[Like . . . Fugo. What are you gonna do.]

[lapidarius]

...Oh.

[that type of guy huh]

[digiorno]

Mmhmm.

[Yikes.]

That's why I'm saying any small amount of . . . less that . . . is impressive. I think it speaks to your skills as a diplomat, really.

[lapidarius]

I wouldn't know about that. I think I've just gotten used to meeting unfamiliar Stand users that aren't going to try to kill me on sight.

...Or might not, at minimum.

[digiorno]

That's sort of like diplomacy.

[lapidarius]

It's a talent in itself, perhaps.

[digiorno]

You are very talented, it's true. I told him how talented you are.

[Continued yikes.]

[lapidarius]

Wait, you did what?

[digiorno]

. . . I told him? That you're a brilliant tactician and extraordinarily clever?

[Kakyoin come on.]

[lapidarius]

O-oh.

[gio...c:]

Thank you. That's really kind of you to say.

[digiorno]

Well, it's true.

[He pokes Kakyoin in the side.]

I like you a lot, you know. Not because of that, but those are some things I like about you, so if I can brag I'm going to!

[lapidarius]

[how dare you engage in poke warfare, you're getting hugged to death by noodle arms]

Oh, really? You should be careful, because I like you a lot too. I might just go around bragging about how spectacular you are.

[digiorno]

[He YELPS in protest. Unbelievable!! He is not snuggling into the death hug at all.]

Then I'll have to brag about you more, Kakyoin! Don't start something you can't finish!

[poking intensifies]

[lapidarius]

[don't make him ruffle your hair he'll play dirty here]

I always finish what I start. Especially when someone challenges me.

[digiorno]

[huffs......]

If that's true, I suppose I'll just have to live with being complimented.

[how Awful]

[lapidarius]

It's an awful fate to have to live with, isn't it?

[digiorno]

It's terrible.

[......poke. Okay, but now he's done.]

It's fun when I'm doing it, though.

[lapidarius]

I'm sure that it is.

[He'd get a poke in return, right on the nose. Because nosebooping a mafia don is the kind of shit you can get away with when you're Noriaki goddamn Kakyoin.]

You're lucky I like you enough to tolerate it myself.

[digiorno]

[His mouth is just an O of surprise. How very dare.]

. . . You poked my nose.

[lapidarius]

You poked me first. What was I supposed to do, not fight back?

[digiorno]

Not on my nose! Kakyoin. That's my nose.

[IT'S HIS NOSE.]

[lapidarius]

A truly astute observation, Giorno. That is in fact your nose.

[digiorno]

You are so rude.

I didn't mention how rude you are. That has to be discovered on one's own, don't you think?
