. . . No, Kakyoin, I'm not. I'm just.

[He sighs, rubs at the side of his neck.]

Tired. Frazzled. Sad. I was frightened and that made all of those things worse. And I'm frustrated because I allowed myself to be frightened. And I'm lonely. But I'm not upset with you.

[lapidarius]

...I'll listen, if you want to talk.

Please. Just...let me worry about you for a few minutes instead of the reverse.

[digiorno]

I don't know. It's not as though there's much to talk about. I want Mista. I want everyone back, but I feel off-balance and . . . angry, generally, without him.

[Shrugging, he cards his fingers lightly through the back of Kakyoin's hair.]

It's not a solvable problem.

[lapidarius]

I know. I wish that there was more I could do to help, but there's just...nothing to do about it whatsoever.

[Kakyoin sighed, head dropping to Giorno's shoulder.]

I'm sorry. I don't really know what to do anymore.

[digiorno]

This is good. This helps. You help me, just by being Kakyoin. My important friend.

[lapidarius]

You're starting to flatter me again, Giorno.

[digiorno]

We can play that game if that's the game you want to play, coltellino.

[lapidarius]

...I still don't speak Italian, either. What did you call me that time?

[digiorno]

You could always just look it up, you know.

[lapidarius]

I'm not looking right now.

[digiorno]

It's nothing bad, Kakyoin. If I were going to insult you I'd do it so you could understand.

Coltello is knife.

[lapidarius]

...

Oh.

[c:]

[digiorno]

Mm? That's tolerable then? Since it's suitably violent?

[What a cute little delinquent he is. Yesheis.]

[lapidarius]

I think that's an appropriate level of violence, yes.

[digiorno]

I would never choose any kind of nickname for you that wasn't both cute and lethal. We have met.

[lapidarius]

You do know me a little too well, don't you?

[digiorno]

I'm happy to know you exactly as well as I know you. You make me feel safe.

[lapidarius]

I think I can say that goes for both of us.

[digiorno]

Damn right.

[. . .]

Hey. Kakyoin. Are you still worried that Jotaro is angry with you?

[lapidarius]

...I don't know. Not rationally worried, if anything.

[digiorno]

Do you think he's worried, too?

[lapidarius]

That's a difficult question, given the fact that I'd estimate he's worried about a hell of a lot more than I am on a daily basis.

[digiorno]

[EYEROLL......... #protagproblemz]

I think I have an idea about how to make you both feel better. Or at least distract you for a while.

[lapidarius]

...I'm listening.

[what are you up to]

[digiorno]

Tell him you ran out of hair product and wear your hair undone for a day.

[At this point Giorno is at least a quintuple agent.]
