I would think you'd have enough on your plate.

From:

lapidarius

If that's what you think, you might just be be surprised by how much I can handle.

From:

mylegacy

I'm not trying to say you're weak, I'm saying I don't want your head to explode.

From:

lapidarius

I understand. And I'm saying I know my limits.

So the offer still stands.

From:

mylegacy

I just found out that someone's been lying to me for a long time. Otherwise I'm fine.

[. . . except, since it's Caesar, he's preoccupied by it to the point that it's hard to think of anything else.]

From:

lapidarius

What, in the middle of all this? Hell of a time to find out something like that.

From:

mylegacy

I know. It's very annoying.

[And fucking devastating, but you know.]

From:

lapidarius

Sorry. It's a little inconvenient how unfortunate things seem to line up one after the other lately.

[So yeah, fucking devastating.]

From:

mylegacy

It's not your fault. I just have to figure out what to do about it while I'm dealing with all of this. It's still not as much as you're dealing with.

From:

lapidarius

Even if that's true, it doesn't make things any less difficult for you. If I can help at all, you only need to ask.

From:

mylegacy

. . . Maybe in a week or so, if you still want to learn. I'd like to teach you more.

From:

lapidarius

I'm not one to give up. If you're willing to teach me, I'll gladly accept.

I can show you more of what Hierophant can do in exchange, if you're still interested.

From:

mylegacy

I'd like that. We were talking about Stands yesterday and I said that Hierophant was the best one, so I'd really like not to be proven wrong.

From:

lapidarius

[...caesar, that is the one thing you could say to make sure you're going to be aggressively befriended.]

As incredibly biased as I might be, I can assure you that my Hierophant is absolutely the best. So you should look forward to having your assumption confirmed without any doubt.

From:

mylegacy

I'll hold you to that.

From:

lapidarius

I do try never to say anything that we can't back up.

[A pause, then:]

Did you really say he's the best one?

That's not saying 'I don't believe you', it

[...]

It's 'that's significant enough that you shouldn't commit to it unless you're absolutely certain.'

From:

mylegacy

Of course I said that. That's what I believe, so that's what I said. Your connection with him is something I respect.

From:

lapidarius

Okay. Then I won't doubt that you're sure of it.

You're right, obviously. I won't argue that, either.

From:

mylegacy

Good. I would win that argument.

I was thinking about what you said about what kinds of Stands people get. I think if I had one, I'd want to have a connection like that. Even though I couldn't, since I wouldn't be able to have it for so long. That's what I'd want.

From:

lapidarius

A connection like ours doesn't come easily. But I think that if you have the same perspective on Stands as I do, you might have a pretty good chance of understanding them the same way.

Who really knows? You might end up developing one. Hermit Purple was already a special case, but Joseph was much older than he is now when it manifested.
