. . . what

[lapidarius]

What?

[mylegacy]

You hesitated.

[lapidarius]

I didn't hesitate, I just wasn't looking at my watch.

[NOTHING HAPPENED, GEEZ]

[mylegacy]

Okay.

But if you died again and I find out later, you're grounded.

[lapidarius]

If it was that bad, I would tell you. I promise.

I'm okay. Nothing that I can't deal with.

[mylegacy]

That's not at all reassuring.

[lapidarius]

Trust me. I just got into a fight, and I've come out of plenty of those before.

[mylegacy]

Oh.

I'm not worried then.

[lapidarius]

You aren't?

[mylegacy]

No, if it was just a fight there's no reason to worry. You win those.

[lapidarius]

Most of the time, of course.

[mylegacy]

Often enough that I trust you.

[lapidarius]

I'm willing to say that might just be often enough for me.

[mylegacy]

It better be. I don't trust many people.

[lapidarius]

Some people would call that cautious.

[mylegacy]

Who?

[lapidarius]

It was just a general statement. I didn't mean anyone in particular.

[mylegacy]

I think Jojo wants me to trust more people. And Jotaro wants me to trust him. He never said it but I think he does.

[lapidarius]

That does certainly sound like them, on both counts.

[mylegacy]

They're still too nice.

[lapidarius]

I never said they weren't.

[mylegacy]

I know.

I like trusting just one or two people better anyway.

[lapidarius]

Better that than none at all.

[mylegacy]

You're probably worth a few people just by yourself really.
