[Whatever this is, he might as well do it face to face... So he'll be back at the room soon, as promised, wishing he could play some mobile app games but ready for this mysterious story instead. Hi.]
[Is he still annoyed about the Bug Chariot thing? Yeah, kind of! Is he more preoccupied with how this is going to go down? Oh, yes. Is he using one to try and not think about the other? Assuredly.
It takes him another half-hour to get back home, but his eyes lock on Kakyoin the instant he walks in. How does he start this? Hey, remember that guy who killed you? Well, guess who's kid I ran into . . .]
Hey.
[Oh boy. Polnareff comes to sit next to him.]
Uh. So. I ran into the kid . . . a guy who knows me from the future.
[Know that Kakyoin has spent this hour just sitting and staring, since he's pretty sure that the second he decides to do something else while he waits, Polnareff will walk in the door. That's the half hour he has.
Anyway, thrill him. The future is already a bit raw as topics go, all things considered. He waits a beat, putting that emotion away, then-]
[He rubs his mouth, his eyes flicking around Kakyoin's face.]
So I guess I help him fight someone. I give him strategic advice. We defeat this evil together. And, uh . . . I mean, no shock, right? Turns out I still fight thirteen years later, who coulda guess. But the kid, he--
His name is Giorno. Giorno Giovanna. He used to live with his step-father and his mother, cuz his real father died not too long after he was sired.
[Does it surprise him that Polnareff goes on to defeat more great evils? No, not at all. Is he immediately distracted by the memory that Giorno drank piss once? Definitely, which is actually a little lucky, as it softens the oncoming blow at least a little.
So, thanks Giorno Giovanna, for being a goddamn freak. Kakyoin sits back and looks at the ceiling, thinking about it. Should he also put this emotion neatly away...? Maybe not.]
[It's based more on a gut feeling than anything proper, but aren't a lot of their decisions? Jotaro trusting him, trusting Kakyoin . . . it was based on gut feelings, nothing more.]
He doesn't feel like DIO. There's not the same . . . I don't know. He just doesn't feel the same. I think . . . I think if he was lying, he would've been a lot slicker about it.
