[Although Giorno isn't one to be effusive with praise, he's grateful enough for this to smile again, warmly. It would have been easy for Jotaro to confer with Kakyoin before coming to him with his suspicions - as Giorno had done with Bruno, in fact. Not that he thinks he's done anything wrong (because he is paranoid; because forewarned is forearmed; because Bruno was halfway there anyway; because Bruno is Bruno), but he is aware, at least, that it's not the most honest way of doing things.]
[It does make Giorno wonder, though. One way or another - he tips his head slightly to one side, considering Jotaro, gauging. Were you worried about me? he wants to ask, but it seems intrusive and, anyway, isn't the point. But he does wonder.]
Please, tell Kakyoin anything you feel is pertinent. If we're going to be working together [he includes Bruno in this, instantly and smoothly and effortlessly], we need to have open communication. Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if he already had some idea.
[Even though his tactics are very different from Jotaro's, it was obvious that they were both coming to similar conclusions. Kakyoin was the first one Bruno identified, too, the canny one, laying traps with words. But, of course, just as their tactics are different, so Bruno's assessments and reactions are different. He commented on Kakyoin's savvy, his intelligence, his strategy. He mentioned Jotaro's heart.]
[Which is why he's having this conversation with Jotaro and not with Kakyoin. It's heart that he needs now, no matter how reluctant he'd be to admit it.]
He isn't a danger. Far from it. He's honestly a much more moral man than I am. He was the [den mother] leader of the gang within Passione that I initially infiltrated, and - well, now he's my subordinate, technically.
[But there's a touch of humor in that, something he'd never express to Bruno, because it's ridiculous. Bruno is not his; he is Bruno's, and always will be.]
