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

[silvercrusader]

[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.]

[starmark]

[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?

[silvercrusader]

[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.

[starmark]

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

[silvercrusader]

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

[starmark]

non. je l'ai lu dans un livre.

if you s

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

if you smiled then it's worth it

[silvercrusader]

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.]

[starmark]

i won't leave you i'll stay up the whole night

6/20

[It's cheating, a little, what he's thinking of, but that's a part of these stupid roadtrip games too. Making up answers that don't quite fit with the rules, and getting yelled at, and maybe some shoving, all of which came to mean: we're friends.]

[starmark]
