[ he nods. ] Training. And working. And keeping an eye on Dio, he's sharpening his teeth day by day.

[ 'training' doesn't show on him; giorno's always been rather particular with appearances even if it doesn't suit the surroundings. it's his father's blood, they say, what with the calculated efforts to look good and to present himself as a good person. giorno isn't so manipulating as that, but more for the sake of others and to stop having people ask questions, he does his best to appear to friends only when he can afford to do so. he has his pride too.

as for dio, the hellion cannot be stopped and as far as he know is enjoying carving a life for himself out in the darkness of the city, and he's younger than he is. ]

And you? You should take some time off, too. At least to enjoy the festivities.

[ when he finishes his water, he gives his joy to him as payment. like clockwork. ]
