[You know what sucks about text? The lack of emotional nuance in words. And expression. And any kind of emotional indicator that would tell Polnareff, for example, that that was not an oh of awkward dismay.
After all, he'd so recently found out about Giorno's parentage-- a memory that Polnareff still winces at, though it had ended decently. It's entirely possible Giorno doesn't care to have Polnareff reminding him about their false paternal claim. It's entirely possible Giorno is sitting in his room, awkwardly wishing Polnareff had simply continued to talk about his hair.
Ah, jeez.]
oh???
[Yeah, that's a good route to take, just turn it right back on him.]
[Wait, why is Polnareff saying oh also? He did something wrong. And that oh has three question marks instead of just one, which means he did something very wrong. Maybe Polnareff is angry with him. Maybe Polnareff wanted him to say something to make it all seem resolved? That's what a good boss would do. Even if the Polnareff back home never wanted that kind of thing, this one is younger and not so sure of himself, and—]
haha i just thought it was probably really annoying! all those stupid jokes all the time
[He did like it, actually, quite a bit. He's still a bit young for children-- twenty-two, and he knows he wants kids, but not quite yet-- and yet that had been enjoyable. It'd been fun, to have someone to care for, to spoil and tease and play with. Even cooking for him-- Giorno, Haruno, whomever-- had been enjoyable.]
but we dont have to talk about it i mean i know im not actually your dad im not
[I'm not trying to impose on your real father, who is Dio, so fuck that, he'll always impose on Dio.]
it's okay it's not bad!! i liked it too i just am not really like that at all ever so it's strange to think about and the only person i felt even a little bit like that towards was jonathan and hes gone now and i didn't know how to do THAT anyway and im not haruno anymore!!!!!!! but it's fine its okay its fine papa its fine dont worry
jonathan dio sort of my stepfather sort of but i told him if he ever came near me i'd break his legs carlos acts sort of fatherish but i'm not sure because i don't really know how these things work and bruno maybe
[Three of these five are acceptable, he supposes. Jonathan definitely is, he doesn't know a thing about Carlos, and while he's somewhat annoyed at Bruno, Polnareff at least realizes it's somewhat undeserved.]
well six isn't so bad i think fathers work the way you want them to i mean theres no guide to it like oh yes he fulfills these three points therefore he's fatherlike
thats not how it works first off if someone else needs a dad they can have it love doesn't get weaker just because it spreads around second off you're allowed to have as many as you want and need
