...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.]

[lapidarius]

Why exactly would I want to do that?

[?????????????]

[digiorno]

Because he thinks it's really cute. And if he's focused on how cute you are and you're focused on him thinking you're cute then, mathematically speaking, both of you are much less likely to be sad.

[lapidarius]

...

[you're nefarious]

I...guess I could do that.

[digiorno]

[area gangstar wingmans by subterfuge]

Well, it's that or I'll hide your hair things when he works up the nerve. He's very invested.

[lapidarius]

Please don't do that, I need those.

[digiorno]

I think that's why he hasn't asked me to do it yet. He doesn't want to upset you, even though he wants to see it.

Really he's much nicer about it than I would be. Or shyer, at least. Not sure if that's the same thing.

[lapidarius]

I don't really understand it, I don't think I look all that different.

[digiorno]

I'm not an expert or anything. But I think people like us look more different than we think we do when we let ourselves relax a little.

[lapidarius]

What, like how people can look drastically different with or without glasses? I guess that makes logical sense, to a point.

[digiorno]

Not really. I mean we always like to have things a certain way. So when we feel safe enough to have things be a different way, it's really meaningful.

Every time he sees me with my hair down he says something. I used to be worried it was because I looked like . . . you know. But I think it's just because I look calm and relaxed, and he thinks that means I'm happy. So maybe it's the same thing.

[lapidarius]

...Oh. That...actually seems like a pretty good point, doesn't it?

[he is trying, okay.]

I suppose that I could do that.

[digiorno]

You could.

[Let him help. By sneaking his hand up to ruffle Kakyoin's hair huehuehue.]

[lapidarius]

What're y--hey, stop that!

[digiorno]

Noooooo . . .

[HUEHUEHUE]

[lapidarius]

Giorno--!

[are we slapfighting each other's hands]

[is this what world-saving heroes do now]

[digiorno]

[YES WE DAMN WELL ARE A GOOD TIME HAD BY ALL]

[He is still doing his damnedest to hair-ruffle but it's a lot harder with Kakyoin trying to interrupt his holy work. Rude.]

See, you're relaxed now, aren't you? You look very relaxed!

[what a great day]

[lapidarius]

[this is absolutely the face of 'relaxed']

You're awful.

[digiorno]

I'm wonderful! I'm helping!

[The noodle is effectively ruined. The greatest victory for Don Giovanna]

[lapidarius]

[how could you...]

What did my hair ever do to you to deserve help, exactly?
