[starmark]

...

[Well, you know what, as Polnareff proved earlier, we're within shouting distance, so — ]

You're describing Avdol.

1/2

[silvercrusader]

[...]

[silvercrusader]

No I'm not!

[Are they seriously going to just bellow at each other?

Yep.]

[starmark]

YES YOU ARE.

[WE SURE ARE.]

[silvercrusader]

SHE IS A LADY!

[starmark]

YOU'RE DESCRIBING AVDOL AS A GIRL.

[silvercrusader]

HOW DARE YOU SHE IS NOTHING LIKE AVDOL--

[No okay wait he's just going to charge through their shared bathroom to stand in the doorway.]

She is nothing like Avdol.

[starmark]

[Oh, hi, Pol, he's lying on the bed with an otter curled up in a ball of fur nearby. Just a dude bein' a dude.]

What the fuck do you mean, "how dare you"? Are you saying there's something wrong with Avdol?

[silvercrusader]

[Oh my god it's Giorno's creation. He's actually wanted to meet this otter, so this is a good opportunity, and he'll absolutely get to that in a moment, but first--]

I'm saying I don't want to date him!

[starmark]

So don't date him. I'm just saying that's who you're describing, because it is.

[He tosses his pocketwatch aside, using his newly freed hand to tickle at his otter lump, which prompts her to roll over and start chattering as she bats wildly at his fingers.]

[silvercrusader]

It isn't.

[Sulkily said, but that otter is way too interesting to ignore. Polnareff comes to sit on the corner of the bed, one leg curled under himself, staring in clear delight down at the animal.]

What's her name? Giorno told me, but I can't-- Joly? Judy? Johnny?

[starmark]

Jolie. It's French, right? I mean in origin. It means "pretty".

[Meanwhile, Jolie continues to chatter and wiggle; evidently this is a game she's very familiar with.]

...She's a river otter. Different than a sea otter.

[silvercrusader]

What's the difference?

[Ohhh my god she's adorable. Very carefully, Polnareff offers his fingers to her, inviting her to bite or batter or whatever it is she wants to do.]

[starmark]

[OH LORD, YOU'VE DONE IT NOW. Fortunately, there's still Jolie to pay attention to while Jotaro launches off on the world's nerdiest impromptu marine biology lecture; she transitions easily from batting at Jotaro's fingers to trying to grab Polnareff's, still making her eerily humanlike giggling noises.]

Appearance, for one thing. She's longer and sleeker than a sea otter, who's fatter and with a stubbier tail. Sea otters tend to live their whole lives at sea, for another — they're purely aquatic. River otters are land mammals that just spend a lot of time in the water. She doesn't know how to swim yet; I need to take her out and teach her one of these days, the way that one of her parents would if she had them. She's already been in the bathtub a few times, but that's just to get her used to the feeling of water, it's not the same as getting her to learn to swim and dive properly.

[HE LOVES HIS OTTER OH MY GOD.]

What she's doing right now is trying to juggle your fingers. Her favorite toy is around here somewhere, an emerald Kakyoin made for her. She'll lie on her back and toss it around from hand to hand, it's a game that otters play naturally with stones or other objects of that approximate size and shape, and no one really knows how they learn it. It's to help them develop their motor skills, I think.

[silvercrusader]

[This is the nerdiest rant ever, but fortunately, it's full of absolutely adorable things. Polnareff listens with half an ear as Jolie grips and tosses his fingers; with his free hand he tickles at her belly.]

Ahh, and she's a perfect girl, isn't she? How are you going to show her to swim? What does she eat?

[starmark]

Um.

[CHATTERING X5, HELLO NEW BEST OTTER FRIEND, SHE LOVES YOU SO MUCH]

I pretty much have to get her by the scruff of the neck and drag her through the water until she can do it herself. It sounds harsh but that's really how they learn in the wild, the adults just...haul them through the water and they figure it out from that.

And she eats a lot of fish. Small water invertebrates, stuff like that. Sometimes she gets out and finds bird eggs, I think, but I try to keep her better fed than that so she's not pillaging nests.

[silvercrusader]

[HE WAS BORN FOR THIS

And he laughs at that, because he can just imagine Jotaro in the water, pants rolled up to his knees, stupid hat still on, dragging Jolie through the water.]

Can she eat regular eggs? Ahh, that's a girl-- don't bite, now--

[He coos down at her, like she's really going to understand, like she's a baby and not a wild animal.]

[starmark]

I don't see why she wouldn't. Why, are you going to run down to the kitchen and scramble some for her?

[Keep those earrings well out of her grasp, tall-haired man, or you are going to get the same rude surprise that poor Kakyoin's hair noodle once got when it ended up too close to her paws.]

[silvercrusader]

I might! If she's hungry. Are you?

[Like she's going to answer-- and he leans in closer, because he's actually not thinking, and oh, his earrings so so shiny, dangling like that, and--]

FUCK!
