I shouldn't be your only friend, you know. I know they're not all easy to get along with, but some of the other Stand users are pretty nice.

[She rocks back and forth on her feet, idling with an additional thought on the tip of her tongue. And under normal circumstances, maybe it would've stayed there, but this is Cordis, and she's feeling it.]

Not that I want to share you or anything. But it'd be good for you to know some people.

[And for a second, she almost looks surprised that it slipped out, but she doesn't take it back, either.]

I was reassuring you that it's safe. You'd get worried if you thought I was walking around somewhere that wasn't, wouldn't you?

[penpoint]

You're - not. [ Sort of. ] But I don't know anyone trustworthy, and I definitely do not trust other Stand users. Giorno's an okay person.

[ Oops. It doesn't help that he's had few positive interactions with any since he's gotten his Stand. Usually they end up either trying to kill each other or he just doesn't end up liking them. ]

So you won't have to worry about sharing me at all.

[ He does feel pretty reassured, though. ]

Absolutely. I'd have to give you some extra skills to defend yourself.

[doreimi]

You're not going to learn whether they're trustworthy or not unless you give them a chance to prove it to you.

[...Well. Normal people wouldn't, anyway. But this is Rohan; everything is more complicated when Heaven's Door is in play.

And actually, speaking of...]

"Give me" some extra skills? You mean teach me?

[penpoint]

Or I could skip to the part where I find out what I need to know and decide.

[ Preferred. Much preferred. Heaven's Door is Rohan's 'getting to know you' cheat code where he doesn't have to get to know anyone. He is certain Reimi will quit that idea really fast. ]

I mean give you, Reimi. Obviously. I'm flattered you think I cold teach.

[ He scoops up the omurice for her, and puts it on the place, nudging it in her direction as he cracks more eggs to let them cook. ]

If it were about you staying safe, it would be an immediate thing.

[doreimi]

You know, if you never practice a skill the hard way, it'll always be hard, and you'll never know any other way to do it except the easy way. But you already know that.

[Fortunately, though, she gets caught on the next bit — that and the omurice both, which smells absolutely fucking delicious to her (and her Cordis) right now, and the polite thing to do would be to wait until he's got a plate too, but then her stomach growls insistently and thoughts of restraint immediately disappear.]

...You'd write in me. That's what you're getting at. And then I'd just know, right?

[penpoint]

I know, Reimi. I was an established manga-ka before I had my Stand, but if you don't have to - why would you?

[ It wounds like a lot of Extra Work. Extra work that he doesn't want to do. And no one can make him. He spins to finish putting together his omurice. He hurries putting his together and gets himself a fork and plate. Because he doesn't want to leave her waiting. He props himself on his counter with an elbow. ]

Yes. That's exactly what I'd do. I know you'd be safe, then. That's what matters most to me.
