It was awful. 'Is there an airport nearby, or is that my heart taking off?' 'Is it hot in here or is it just you?' Worse because I didn't know what he was doing and asked a friend to translate. Which I will regret for the rest of my life because it was the most embarrassing thing I have ever suffered through.

...In fact he's lucky I didn't beat the living hell out of him after that.

[mylegacy]

You might be a little whipped.

[— thank you, pot.]

[lapidarius]

Oh, like hell I am.

[if anyone is whipped in this relationship it is both of them.]

Just because he got away with something once doesn't mean he always does.

[mylegacy]

That's kind of a big something.

[lapidarius]

It was one time. If he tried to pull something like that again I'd probably punch him.

[mylegacy]

"Probably".

[lapidarius]

Well I'm hardly going to try to break his nose, I reserve that kind of thing for Polnareff.

[mylegacy]

Polnareff is annoying.

[lapidarius]

Usually, yes.

[and he loves his friend so much, that idiot.]

[mylegacy]

. . . He's annoying, but you still like him.

[There's a questioning undercurrent here. Explain.]

[lapidarius]

...Let me put it this way.

'Annoying' is likely one of the first terms one would use to describe Joseph Joestar if they just met him.

['but you freely associate with him for roughly similar reasons.']

[mylegacy]

I wasn't trying to be rude.

[Okay but you were, though.]

[lapidarius]

Neither was I. Stating an objective fact isn't rude, it's being honest.

[mylegacy]

It sounded rude.

[YOU'RE BOTH RUDE.]

[lapidarius]

So did you. So let's just agree we were both a little blunt and move on.

Polnareff's my friend, as...everything as he tends to be. I don't make a habit of associating with complete imbeciles, so you can trust that obviously he isn't one.

[mylegacy]

Fine. But that's not what I meant. I just wanted to know what it is you like about him.

[lapidarius]

...He's a good person. Better than most, really. Polnareff's loyal, courageous, and one of the most caring people I know.

It's just that he's also dense, obtuse, and a little slow on the uptake.
