THAT WAS IDIOTIC I PANICKED

[starmark]

...

wait

who's been teaching you italian pickup lines

[lapidarius]

caesar

i specifically asked him about pickup lines

this was a mistake

[starmark]

...actually i'm surprised it wasn't worse, if you learned it from caesar

mi hai capito, quando dico che io ti adoro molto?

[lapidarius]

i'm not sure i got that--i only know a few basic phrases and dumb things like that.

i know molto is 'very' and adoro is 'adore' or some form of that, so i'm going to cautiously hope that wasn't nearly as ridiculous as what i said

[starmark]

"capire" is "understand". the first part asked if you understood what followed, which i guess now i know you didn't.

"quando dico". "dire" is "say". quando dico che, when i say that

the part you didn't get was "do you understand it when i say that"

can you fill in the rest?

[lapidarius]

i think i'm smart enough to figure it out from there.

i'm a lot less likely to understand it in italian, but generally speaking i tend to get the message fairly well.

[starmark]

i capelli sono rossi come un tramonto al deserto

[lapidarius]

that wasn't an invitation to start throwing things i don't understand at me, i'm not falling for that and asking giorno to translate again

hang on

[he may or may not be looking through actual written notes]

Sono innamorata di te, la mia stella.

[GOING RIGHT FOR IT, APPARENTLY]

[starmark]

he didn't teach you your colors? rossi is red.

I brillare solo per te, by the way.

[lapidarius]

that doesn't mean i can pick out the rest of it, i'm still learning

that much, though, i think i got

[starmark]

did you also get "desert"

i said something about you is red like something in the desert

you remember crossing the desert, take a guess. we saw something red out there.

[lapidarius]

something red

[...presumably not blood because while technically correct, it would kill the mood pretty fast]

[casually checking his notes again with little success, and:]

the sunset?

[starmark]

yeah. that's tramonto.

[lapidarius]

And the only thing red about me is my hair, unless you took an unexpected turn and decided to compliment my earrings all of a sudden. The former seems much more likely.

[starmark]

that or your face when you're flustered

[lapidarius]

True, but also not quite as likely.

[starmark]

you're right though i meant your hair, that's capelli

did he teach you stellino

[lapidarius]

he didn't--i only knew 'stella' because i looked it up myself. i thought i might need to know that for something like this.

[starmark]

you looked it up just so that you could call me stella mia

seriously

[lapidarius]

yes

i mean

why not

i thought it might be impressive

[starmark]

did you look up what you wanted me to call you back?

[lapidarius]

no

i wanted you to come up with that on your own, i figured that if you did i could look it up later

[starmark]

so you're leaving it up to me, la lontra del mio cuore?

okay then.

OH MY FUCKING GOD, JOTARO.

[lapidarius]

you know i'm going to check that, right

so

just in case it's something that i'm going to have to call you an idiot for, now is your only chance to change it

[He might not know Italian, but he sure as hell knows you.]
