Good.

[And it is good, even if he can't possibly know what kind of emotional storm has been brewing inside of the don. For now, it just means that a young man will be able to close his eyes tonight, and that's all he can ask.

...]

Sleep well, Giorno.

[digiorno]

Good night, Jonathan. Sleep well.

[sunsetsitter]

[Just after sunset, Giorno will be getting a call from a sleepy ghost opening with a yawn.]

Morning... So I talked to that Abbacchio guy.

[She has other business, but let's start with that first.]

[digiorno]

Good evening, Izabel. I hope you slept well.

[Never mind the slight pinch of worry at that particular topic of conversation . . .]

Did it go as you expected it to?

[sunsetsitter]

Mmmnah. But it went Abbacchio-kay.

[...If it makes it any better, her voice isn't doing that EYYYYY thing this time. She's still not entirely sure how she feels about the situation, so her heart isn't really in the joke.]

[digiorno]

[He huffs out a laugh, but his heart isn't quite in it, either.]

Mm. That sounds better than my first meeting with him, anyway.

. . . Do you want to go over it?

[sunsetsitter]

I...don't know?

[Not really. Abbacchio didn't seem like the type who wanted his conversations discussed, and even if it was with Giorno, she feels like it's important to respect that. Maybe all the more because of it.]

I think I like him?

[THE FORCE OF HER UNSURE IS SO STRONG.]

[digiorno]

. . . Good.

[And he does sound genuinely pleased - thrilled, maybe? - about this, because . . . it's so complicated, but he's nowhere near stupid enough not to know Abbacchio needs all the friends he can get.]

Then I'm glad it went Abbacchio-kay.

[sunsetsitter]

[And once his approval is known, Izabel's tone relaxes considerably.]

And you are so lucky that I love you because you're both idiots.

[Way to drive that one home, Giorno. Moving on, though.]

...So like, is Jotaro's mom mega hot, or something?

[digiorno]

[He makes a displeased noise, because excuse? No he's not?? And then another displeased noise, because you can't just say that about somebody's mother.]

You can't just say that about somebody's mother, Izabel!

[sunsetsitter]

[CACKLES]

Look man, I wasn't the one concerned I was going to hit on her! So she's not a total fox?

[digiorno]

Who was?

[WHY ARE THEY HAVING THIS CONVERSATION]

She's a very beautiful, very married woman with an adult child who's a close friend of mine.

[sunsetsitter]

That adult child who's a close friend of yours.

[It's cute how everyone brings up the fact that she's married like it stops a lady from telling another lady she's looking fine today.]

[digiorno]

So you're just doing this to annoy him?

[Otherwise Mista is being an awful influence. Maybe both.]

[sunsetsitter]

[how could you accuse perfect adorable mista of -- no okay.]

I mean, I was genuinely curious. [Like, he's not around to bother with it right this second.] Who just assumes someone wants to flirt with their mom?

[digiorno]

[Well, he could lie, or he could . . .]

I think it's genetic, actually.

[sunsetsitter]

[Meh, Jotaro's okay. Not her type, but she could see the appeal. Still...]

You're not seriously suggesting I won't be able to control myself when it comes to his hot mom because of some mysterious family quirk, are you?

[digiorno]

That's exactly what I'm suggesting. Jotaro says he always had girls following him around at home, just like I did.

[He says this with mild vexation more than anything. Yare yare. Also, surprise?]

[sunsetsitter]

[Wow, have some respect for her, Giorno...]

I haven't fallen prey to that mysterious family quirk yet, in case you haven't noticed, so -- [...Oh?] Wait. Obviously stop me if I'm being an idiot, but you're saying you've also got these genes? Specifically these.

[digiorno]

Don't you like girls? Anyway--

[He's about to say something about family, but then, speaking of family.]

These specifically. Yes.

[sunsetsitter]

I mean, yeah, but you'd think magic genetics would be powerful. I've flirted with Kakyoin and Mista more than anyone else, so far.

[weeps why is Giorno letting her promise dates to Mista...]

Huh.

[...H u h.]

[digiorno]

Kakyoin has good hair. And you flirt with Mista because you think it's funny. Anyway, he bounces back.

What does "huh" mean, in this context?

[sunsetsitter]

God, he has really nice hair, doesn't he?

[BUT BACK TO SERIOUS MATTERS.]

I'm just...trying to figure out stuff. Jotaro said something about another family trait -- only children?

...Also he's like a brick wall and no offense, but you're kind of not.

[digiorno]

That applies, yes.

[Technically he has three half-brothers he doesn't know about and that are also garbage, but honestly who cares about them. He laughs at the last thing, though.]

Don't worry, I'm not offended. Do you think you can figure it out?

[sunsetsitter]

The answer's going to be really stupid, isn't it?

[But there is a hint of something underneath her words that suggests she's still thinking away on it.]
