From:

nextlineis

i knew i could count on you!

From:

lapidarius

of course

i make every effort to be reliable when i'm needed

From:

nextlineis

oh and i dont know if he told you or whatever and i probably should have told you sooner but
i told him

From:

lapidarius

Figured that out for myself before Caesar said as much, actually. We talked about it a while ago.

I'm glad you did. I don't think he'd ever have done as much on his own, and that's not the kind of thing one should just ignore.

From:

nextlineis

wait was he coming to you for advice???

From:

lapidarius

I'm not at liberty to say what we might have talked about specifically.

But we've been known to talk to each other for things like that once in a while.

From:

nextlineis

thats good

caesars used to being all on his own or having to take care of everyone all the time you know
so having someone he can talk to (besides me anyway) thats good

From:

lapidarius

We're kind of similar in a lot of ways. So I think sometimes we both find it easier to talk to the other than it is to talk to most people.

[Joseph doesn't know Kakyoin quite well enough to agree with that 110% with certainty, but he'd be stupid to deny there aren't some obvious parallels. Painful ones, too, unfortunately.]

yeah i guess you are
more similar than he and i are anyway
i know he doesnt think im just some rich brat whos been spoiled and pampered his whole life anymore but i never lived the way he did theres stuff i wont ever really be able to understand even if i try really hard

[Joseph supposes that's the difference now about how Caesar thinks about Joseph. The fact he had a pretty easy life up until recently does set them apart, but Caesar gets that Joseph tries to understand a lot more than he initially thought. Which in all fairness just wasn't always true, but things changed. Joseph changed. A lot.]

but you two balance each other out too
he gets pissed pretty easily and if it gets to a certain point he stops listening altogether
youre the opposite in probably not getting pissed enough
maybe im wrong but i think you probably help him cool it and he probably tries to help you not just take whatever shit someones dishing out to you

From:

lapidarius

I'm starting to doubt it's really possible to understand anyone perfectly. Even making the attempt might not help, but the fact that you acknowledge you can't while still caring enough to try and sympathize still says a lot.

[boy don't it just hurt like hell]

Oh, I think you'd be mistaken to think I don't have a difficult temper of my own. Just ask Polnareff sometime, I'm sure he'd love to regale you with how insufferable I get when I'm angry. However I will admit Caesar's fuse is much, much shorter than mine.

From:

nextlineis

oh my god how can you ever be mad at polnareff???

From:

lapidarius

are you serious

[No wait, it's Joseph. Of course he'd see Polnareff's side of things--his obnoxious, aggravating side.]

Let's just say we can have very conflicting personalities and leave it at that.

From:

nextlineis

whats conflicting about polnareff???? he could get along with anybody

From:

lapidarius

Our entire friendship is largely structured on shared unfortunate experiences and who can drive the other further up a wall at any given moment. Primarily the latter of the two.

From:

nextlineis

but you two are still friends so that must mean you really like it when he tries to drive you crazy

From:

lapidarius

It says a little more about him that I almost broke his nose as a form of accepting an apology and he thanked me for it, but think whatever you like.

From:

nextlineis

hey i put a pigeon in caesars mouth once and he let it go eventually

[He is not here to judge nor kinkshame.]

ill be over in a little while though so get the stuff in the kitchen ready

From:

lapidarius

okay but i demand to hear that story the minute you get here because WHAT

From:

nextlineis

[Ah, well, Joseph lived a good life. Maybe not long, but definitely pretty good.]

[He turns up a while later, just letting himself into the mansion which is, of course, met with the loudest of noises because Danny is hyped as fuck about this turn of events. Joseph takes a moment to settle Danny down with some well-earned attention before meandering on in the direction of the kitchen, dog hot on his heels. As he does so, he calls out,]

Kakyoin! You ready?

From:

lapidarius

I'm always ready.

[With an array of implements for baking and a very quiet hovering Stand as opposed to a loud horse-sized puppy, but never mind.]

From:

Hey Hierophant.

[Hierophant might not be as outgoing as Star, but it'd seem rude to just ignore him hanging out there. Especially when he's likely going to be a little more useful in this endeavor that said horse-sized puppy.]

So you actually know how to use all this stuff?

From:

lapidarius

Of course I do, it isn't difficult.

[Hierophant offered a small wave from behind his user, who just shrugged.]

Do you know what kind of cake he'd like?

From:

nextlineis

I do actually! [It's at this point Joseph grins wide, clearly very fully of himself because he had to very careful in getting the answer without showing his hand.] Almond pound cake.
