[How long has Giorno been waiting for the other shoe to drop?
Since Polnareff got here, most likely. Waiting and watching, knowing the inevitable was coming. Knowing that Polnareff would eventually find out and-- what? Surely they've gone over this in the future; surely Giorno knows that Polnareff has already accepted this fact. But--
He thinks about that shy expression, eyes big and face looking far too young. There'd been no question, no question for assurance-- but he'd looked so worried that Polnareff might not like his Stand. And perhaps this is along the same lines: that while a Polnareff in the future has accepted him, this one, younger, different, more impulsive and less wise, might not.
Well. He'd learn soon enough. He knocks at his door a day after he and Jotaro had talked-- unfair, maybe, to make Giorno wait another day, but he'd needed the time to clear his head. He still smells of too many cigarettes, but he can't help that; there's only so many ways he can calm down. It's late, but not so late that he thinks there's any chance his don is asleep.]
