no
not then

[A pause, and then:]

he said something about
god i dont even remember
something about stands, because i had chariot out
but i started freaking out
chariot started freaking out too, stabbing at nothing, because he and i thought we were back in cairo

...that happens to you too

like something just hits you wrong and then all of a sudden you're there again

not usually during the day
but yeah
sometimes
never this bad though
thats what i meant by "almost killed him"
i think if he hadn't been so short and glued to my leg i would have stabbed him

[I saw your body on the floor, I saw you bleeding out-- but Jotaro doesn't need to hear that.]

how much
i mean
does it happen to you a lot?

...more than i let on

mostly if i'm on my back and it's dark it starts to feel like something's going to fall on me

or if i'm in stopped time sometimes it feels like i'm going to hear him say something

but there was this one time when i fought giorno and it was dark and he had his hair loose and it

giorno did something to me and it was like being back fighting him again and i stopped my heart again trying to get free

[He won't tell Jotaro about the World. He promised, and he intends to keep that promise-- not only for Dio's sake, but Jotaro, who might actually go and kill the kid if he knew he had his Stand back.]

slowing time
yeah he told me about that one
its always time

[The one aspect of Gold Experience Polnareff has no desire to ever witness.]

for me its mostly just nightmares
i mean you know
but even beyond the ones where you wake me up
abdul or dio it's usually one or the other

except now its starting in the day i guess

it was like i was thinking too fast for my body to keep up

that's why i thought if i got star to stop my heart

i don't know what i thought but it felt like if i could just get my head to slow down enough then i could tell star to stop time or hit him or get away

but it felt like i was about to die and i was scared

which is stupid because it was giorno and i knew that but knowing it didn't help somehow

do you want to start staying close to me

so i can help if it happens again in the daytime

yeah

[An easy decision. Yeah, and he has to bite back on the impulse to add: come here now. He won't, he can't, but god, he wants to.]

its not stupid
that was the only thing that kept you alive
sure you tried it again

[A beat, and then:]

i think ill remember you on the street for the rest of my life

you were my hero right then

i know that sounds like bullshit because of how people usually say that

oh you're my hero, or whatever

but you were the real thing right then

[But it strikes him, gradually, that this isn't just commiseration — or rather, that it shouldn't be. This time, maybe in a more figurative way, Polnareff is the one on his back with Dio looming, and it's his turn to be the one to try and do something about it.]

you can tell me about it

if it'll help

i won't leave you alone jean i'll stay up all night

[Jotaro's told him that before, and oddly enough, he doesn't have any trouble believing it. Not because he thinks of himself as a hero, but because Jotaro was the exact same thing to him. That night in Cairo, Jotaro was the only reason any of them managed to walk out of there.

Jean, and Jotaro only uses that when he's really trying to be gentle. He could talk about it, yeah, and maybe in a bit he will, but:]

distract me

[There's only so much emotion he can take in one night.]

[Immediately, he reaches over for the stack of books on the floor nearby, shoving them over until he finds the one he wants and retrieves it to push it open.]

Qu’est-ce qui commence par "E", qui finit par "E" et qui ne contient qu’une seule lettre?

[Thank god for Jotaro Kujo. He thinks that fervently, biting his bottom lip to keep himself quiet. Thank god, because tonight will go far faster.]

Non E , je parie . Dîtes-moi.

Quel ridicule mari que je l'ai. Une "enveloppe"?

oh mon dieu

avez-vous créé que sur votre propre? je ne suis pas le ridicule, mon mari.

[a beat, and then:]

you're getting better at french

Edited 2016-06-07 02:21 (UTC)

non. je l'ai lu dans un livre.

if you s

[.........................]

if you smiled then it's worth it

well we got the same shit sense of humor

[Which is a way to gently lessen what he's about to say, which is:]

its easy to smile, talking to you

[An awful French riddle and already Polnareff feels more at ease. Not okay-- not yet, but he's not going to be okay all night, and that's fine-- but a little better.]
