okay

don't get all wound up, just listen and hear me out

see if he'll let me kick his ass on your behalf. if he won't bite and he says it has to be you, then we'll go at the same time. you'll do whatever it takes to live up to your end, while i'm right there, and then you're out

i'm not going to let him hurt you. period.

[manuscripture]

I am not getting 'wound up'.

Are you literally saying that we will both have to indulge him if I end up having the Do It Or Die scenario?

[starmark]

i know you're not, that's why i told you not to start

and i don't know for sure but if it's that or have him out to stab one of us i'm not about to play chicken with him showing up at the door with a knife

[manuscripture]

Have I mentioned that I don't even know what this man looks like?

Because I don't.

[starmark]

oh my god

[manuscripture]

Does he sound like the kind of person I want to just GO HANG OUT WITH?

1/2

[starmark]

NO SHIT HE'S NOT

THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO KEEP YOU SAFE WHAT THE HELL

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO HURT YOU I DON'T WANT SOMEONE WHO MATTERS GETTING HURT AGAIN

[starmark]

[...]

[oh.]

[manuscripture]

[ It takes him a couple minutes to get back to this one. He could be shuffling books and actually doing work, or he could be... Well. ]

It will be fine, Jotaro.

Someone who matters?

[starmark]

what about it

[TSUN HARDER, TSUN HARDER]

[manuscripture]

I haven't had someone say that before. That's all.

[ let's tsun mutually. ]

[starmark]

[by their powers combined, they are tsun-dos]

well

you fucking matter so

figure it out i guess

[manuscripture]

[ what a hot mess. ]

So.

You matter too.

Take it or leave it. I mean the answer is 'take it' but.

[starmark]

...

can i ask something stupid

don't be an asshole about it either

[manuscripture]

Fine.

[starmark]

how much of that is because of me

and how much is the me you used to know before this

[manuscripture]

Let me put it this way.

I know the you from now

better than I do the one from my time.

Does that make sense?

[starmark]

ok

...

good

that means i earned it

[manuscripture]

It's mutual.

Right?

[starmark]

what

that you earned it?

you have no idea how fucked i'd be right now without you do you

[manuscripture]

We would both be pretty screwed if you think about it.

[starmark]

well

...

you're an asshole worth liking

there

[manuscripture]

Thanks?

[starmark]

...right

anyway i handled mitsuhide on my end

[manuscripture]

And I handled him on mine. I'm going to do that stupid portrait of his goofy master fellow so I can get my necklace.

What are you doing?
