star communicates more creatively

i love star

another possible reason is that i'm just lucky and blessed

besides they both have to talk to balance out gold experience since he doesn't talk

[lapidarius]

oh, star's my second favorite. i always appreciate 'creatively'.

[Three guesses which was his favorite. Kakyoin thought for a moment, twisting the chain of his pocketwatch around his finger.]

I really like that--when Stands match each other that way. Hierophant's never said a word or made a sound once in our entire life, so meeting the near-complete opposite like Star was kind of surprising.

There's probably something meaningful to be said about that, don't you think so? Having people and Stands that balance each other so well, I mean.

[digiorno]

mmhm, jotaro talks about that a lot

about how your hierophant and his star platinum are perfect for each other

and about how much he likes it that sometimes you just know what he's thinking without him having to say anything

i like that too, it can be a real relief

[lapidarius]

Does he? That's not surprising, I'd bet he knows how important that is to me. It's the most important and significant thing about both of us.

I've never been very good with people. Learning to read Jotaro just came naturally; I've never had that happen before. I want to call it just an extension of thinking strategically; basic observational skills, something like that. Obviously that isn't all it is--either way, I think I've managed to improve just a little.

I told him a while ago that I needed him the same way I need Hierophant. I don't think we're really 'ourselves' without each other, not anymore.

[digiorno]

see and it was the opposite for me

i've always been very good at reading people but i've never met someone good at reading me before all of this

it was very unsettling

that last thing is a thing for me too though

[lapidarius]

It's surreal, isn't it? I never thought it was possible to just be understood by someone, least of all like that.

If it's any consolation, both of you are just as good at reading me the same way.

[digiorno]

what really?????

[lapidarius]

Of course. Was there ever any doubt?

[digiorno]

i know i am perfect kakyoin but i am not jotaro

[lapidarius]

Like you said, you're good at reading people. I really don't think I'm as hard to figure out as he is, at least.

[digiorno]

he's not hard to figure out either

he's easier than you

[lapidarius]

I'm almost insulted, Giorno.

[digiorno]

how is that insulting to YOU

[lapidarius]

I WAS JOKING

I just meant that I thought I had a much worse poker face than he does. You're really serious?

[digiorno]

absolutely

admittedly i have practice with people who are . . . not exactly like jotaro but have similar defense mechanisms

[lapidarius]

What, one-liners and trying to swallow five cigarettes?




...That was another joke, don't yell at me.

[digiorno]

you're actually sort of right

i meant people who think they're very cool

[lapidarius]

No wonder you like Polnareff as much as we do.

[pot, kettle.]

[digiorno]

i like polnareff because he is beautiful and good to me

and also a big idiot

[lapidarius]

There's all that too, naturally.

But he thinks he's incredibly cool and is only occasionally correct.

[digiorno]

kakyoin

i have to tell you an important secret about polnareff

[lapidarius]

more important than the turtle?

I don't think I can handle more important than the turtle.

[digiorno]

it is much more important than the turtle

[lapidarius]

Fine, what is it?

[digiorno]

sometimes

when he is in the turtle

he tries to flirt with women

as a turtle

and i imagine his tactics have not changed much but

he is a turtle
