i mean i already look cool but this'll really score me high in his books
thanks
how fluent are you anyway? besides pickup lines and this

[starmark]

um lemme think

i started working on it i think last august or september? so good enough that i can have a conversation probably but there are still words i don't know and conjugations i fuck up

sometimes i forget a word so i have to say the same thing a different way, like forgetting the word for "groceries" so you say "food from the store" or whatever

but yeah i've been working on it for i guess most of a year now

[silvercrusader]

that's pretty impressive
is it easier than english?
just kidding everything is easier then english

just watch in another we'll all be able to speak not only english but french italian and japanese too

[starmark]

honestly the hardest part i have with french is kind of the same problem i had with italian

which is that i dunno it's like my mouth just doesn't want to make the sounds right?

so it's like i know i need to say the thing but no matter what i do it's not going to come out right

[silvercrusader]

[IT'S EASY, he almost says, but of course it's easy for him. The few Japanese phrases he'd stumbled his way through had been a nightmare of pronunciation, because all the sounds had been strange and wrong on his lips.]

well look at it this way
if you slur your way through a sentence people will just think you're a little drunk
thats practically a pastime in france

[starmark]

france sounds like a wild place mon mari

so you guys talked about the ocean huh

you and bruno, i mean

you were telling me about it but then i interrupted you with language bullshit

[silvercrusader]

yeah jotaro for fuck's sake what kind of conversation is this

but yeah the ocean
whales
goblin sharks
glowfish
he knows a lot
more then i thought he would
i mean i dont know much about him in the first place so its all interesting

[starmark]

oh fuck off

i guess it's not that surprising though? i mean italy is surrounded by water on all sides, right, so he's probably used to stuff like that

[silvercrusader]

i mean so is france but you don't see me knowing weird ocean junk
but his parents used to fish so i guess there you go

anyway what's he like
i mean youve known him longer then me
besides being weirdly stuck to him for a while we're still kind of getting to know each other

[starmark]

he helped me out a lot back when i first got here

back when it was just four of us, i mean, kakyoin and me and then giorno and bruno

i was kind of a wreck and didn't know what i was doing with myself and bruno is...

it's like he sees what people need really easily? like before they even realize they need it themselves. but he just gets it, and then he pushes them just enough. not into doing what they need to do, but like right up to the edge, to where they can see it for themselves

and then he leaves you alone because that last step has to come from you, not anyone else

but i think that's kind of double-edged, you know? he's really good with everybody else but he's pretty hands-off when it comes to himself.

[silvercrusader]

[Is it a Passione thing? That reminds him an awful lot of Giorno-- that ability to reach into someone and see what they are, never mind how to speak to them.]

well its not like we know anybody with THAT problem
its weird how they can do that, he and giorno
that theyre that good at seeing what you're like or what words you need

i like him

[starmark]

he's easy to like, isn't he

...

i think you're

probably good at being that for them, honestly

not exactly the same but like

they're good at helping people see what they need, but you're good at being there for people who need it

[silvercrusader]

yeah

[Which isn't meant to be arrogant, really. It had taken him a long time to understand why Giorno sought out his company-- not just in the future, but here and now, day after day. Not because he said the right things, but because it was easy to lean on him.]

well maybe i can do that for him
all this future shit is still weird but he knows me less from there i think
not like giorno does
so maybe it'll be a little easier

[starmark]

well you're building a boat together

i mean that's a start right





did you seriously name it the codfather oh my god

[silvercrusader]

well he doesn't know it yet
but yes
i mean if it comes up with something else as amazing i'll consider it but
that's pretty amazing
maybe i'll ask kakyoin he's good with clever things like that

[starmark]

he's good at a lot of things




wait did that sound stupid

i meant it in a normal way not a weird sappy way

[silvercrusader]

well it sounded normal up until you said that
now it just sounds disgustingly affectionate
way to ruin it

[starmark]

DAMMIT

[silvercrusader]

ohhh he just knows so many things ohhh what a man
