No, no-- it's just, uh--

[He grins-- not that Hierophant can see. Can he? He doesn't know if Kakyoin can see through Hierophant's eyes.]

He mirrors you. So he looks like he's pushing up glasses he doesn't have or winding his hair around his fingers. It's cute.

[lapidarius]

...Is that weird or something? We usually do this when I'm focusing on talking through him, I think.

[silvercrusader]

Not weird! I just never saw it before. Can you see through him?

[He waves, like maybe that's the thing that'll help him determine.]

[lapidarius]

Like this, yeah--I can see pretty clearly through his eyes, and I have enough of a sense of sight to get by when he's split apart into coils or tripwires.

[Shrug.]

I had a lot of time to practice the latter when I was in the hospital.

[silvercrusader]

Lucky. I can't see anything out of Chariot.

[It's a problem. Still, he gives Hierophant-- and Kakyoin, by extension-- a grin, like hi!]

Anyway.

[And he hops up on the sink. He could just go into the room next door, but he kind of likes talking to Hierophant. He ought to throw Chariot at him soon, see if they interact at all.]

You never answered me: what kind of shit do you want to do in return? Sexy or romantic or something else entirely?

[lapidarius]

Maybe you just need to practice.

[From the sound of it, Hierophant was probably smirking behind that mask.]

And I don't know, really. After that maybe he deserves something that would just annoy the hell out of him.

[silvercrusader]

Want to talk shit about sea animals?

[lapidarius]

Why would I do that? He wouldn't talk shit about the things I'm interested in, and besides, I think it's interesting to hear him talk about that kind of thing. I don't want to make him think I can't stand it.

I'm not trying to get him actually pissed off at me.

[silvercrusader]

[He pulls a face.]

It'd be a lie-- but you come up with something. Hire some girl to follow him and scream, maybe, I don't know.

[lapidarius]

[look polnareff dunking on you is easy but dunking on jotaro is an art form]

...hm. I wonder, if we just started hiding pudding cups everywhere do you think we'd be able to get Star to start coming out and looking for them everywhere? That'd probably drive him crazy, like 'yare yare how dare my Stand be adorable when he's not punching things it's ruining my super cool image'.

[silvercrusader]

Holy shit, that's fantastic!

[Good job, Hierophant! Who absolutely gets the credit right now.]

Look at you, being all clever-- shit, I can rope Giorno into this, he'll definitely loan us the pudding.

[lapidarius]

[together they are one gem-obsessed genius]

Probably. Once the city stops being weird we'll have to put a plan together with him.

[silvercrusader]

He'll love it.

[Speaking of Giorno . . . Polnareff's face flickers for a moment, uncertain, because he doesn't quite know how to put this. How do you ask your friend hey, so I hear you got a pair of high heels, is that something you're into, if it is that's fine, but also if you don't want to talk about it that's fine?]

He was showing me some of his skirts and junk the other week.

[lapidarius]

...Oh, yeah?

[...busted]

It's a little unexpected, but I guess I can't fault him for having pretty good taste at least.

[silvercrusader]

I mean, I could have lived without seeing him in the whole bedtime outfit, but--

[A shrug.]

It looks good.

[--and oh, he knows how he'll do this!]

What do you think? Think I got the gams for it?

[lapidarius]

You get used to that.

[HIEROPHANT EYEROLL. I REPEAT WE HAVE REACHED CRITICAL EYEROLL.]

I think you'd be tripping all over yourself.

[silvercrusader]

[Oh my god why are you so rude!!]

What, like it's so hard? Jeez, Kakyoin, I'm taking a chance, be a little sympathetic!

[lapidarius]

[because he loves you.]

It's not like it's easy, either. I keep tripping over the shoes he gave me last year, and my sense of balance is fantastic if I can say so myself.

[silvercrusader]

[Oh, good, they can talk about this properly. He relaxes back, leaning against the mirror.]

Ahh, but people'll be too busy staring at your legs to notice you tripping all the time.

[lapidarius]

...What, that's it? No smartass comment about how I'd look even more like a girl, nothing?

[???]

[silvercrusader]

I mean, I could if you want, but I figured this was better. Right?

[Honestly, he might have if Giorno hadn't caught him first.]

[lapidarius]

I don't want you to. If you did I probably would have started a fight.

[Hierophant shrugged again, crossing his arms.]

It's unusual and a little weird, sure. But I used to get teased for looking like a girl all the time. When something like that happens you either change to meet expectations or you look however you want and beat the hell out of anyone that tries to say you're wrong.

So I guess past the initial 'Giorno do you really sleep in that' it isn't really as weird as I'm saying.

[silvercrusader]

You oughta show me sometime. When you want. If you want.

[And okay, one is as good as the other, so-- he reaches out, lightly punching Hierophant's arm.]

Unless all you have is the shoes so far?

[lapidarius]

I don't think he's finished the rest of it yet. And I'm still working on being able to walk correctly in the shoes.

[In response, Hierophant reached out and poked Polnareff in the forehead.]

But if you laugh at me you're going to be in big trouble. I think the last kid that picked on me for how I looked came away traumatized for life.

[silvercrusader]

Have I laughed at you at all? I just spent the whole conversation being supportive. I don't care, it's not something worth laughing about.
