[Oh. He's nervous. That softens Giorno up a little more, enough that he snuggles up closer and pats Polnareff on the cheek. It means nothing bad is going to happen and I'm not mad and I love you, because all of those things are true.]
Mm . . .
[He hums thoughtfully, pressing his lips together.]
It's complicated. There are a few different parts to it. But I'll do the best I can to explain them all.
Part of it is, it's just comfortable. It feels good and . . . freeing? Skirts are less constrictive than pants, that's, well, half of what I mean. It also just feels better to not cut myself off from all these things just because I'm not supposed to. It feels better, safer, to try all kinds of things and take the things I like best for myself because they feel good for me, not because it's what I'm supposed to do.
That's where it started. I decided I was going to start trying to do things for myself, to make me happy, and it was . . . hard at first, but I made myself stick to it. And this was one of the first things I tried, and it just felt right.
That's the thing, it's not about appeal so much as sometimes it's just what I want to do, it feels like who I want to be on this day or in this moment. Some days I want to wear a suit, some days I want to wear something else. I like feeling more . . . I don't know. Not delicate, that's not the right word, but something like that . . .
I want to look the way I feel on the inside whenever I can, to always be true to myself, and some days I feel powerful and graceful and beautiful in one way and some days I feel it in the other way, and some days somewhere in between.
And I decided, too, that when I sleep I should feel safe and soft and lovely and dangerous, and so that's what I do.
TELLS YOU AND YOUR MOM WHAT TO DO
