[ you sound like him, giorno thinks. or was it the other way around? talking about fate, as if it were heaven. forces of reality as if that were life itself. it's a familiar spiel, and he wonders why. ]

For how long, I wonder. And to what degree.

How often do you need to feed, anyway? Are you at the mercy of your appetite? Do you need a particular type of human or would any do?

[dioception]

[One certainly got it from the other. It'd be up to Giorno to discern who from who, though shouldn't it be obvious?]

Until it ends, I suppose, and to whatever degree is necessary.

Mh, I'm not sure. I just feed whenever the mood strikes me. It mostly serves to heal my wounds,
but I do find myself getting hungry if I go too long between meals.

Anyone will do. I prefer the willing.

[tropism]

[ yes. yes, it really was. ]

The good thing about defiance is that you will never be without company. Achievement isn't really half as exciting as the struggle towards it.

With rivals as closely tied to fate like these, you might as well call them family. [ HMMM??? HMM, HMM. moving on: ]

Thank you for Castle Rock, although that one ended in a crushing defeat for me. It was instructive.

[dioception]

Sometimes it IS family.

[He's not so sure he agreed about struggling toward achievement versus actually achieving though. He wants the satisfaction of crushing his enemies, after all. Maybe things wouldn't be as exciting after the fact, but he didn't think he'd long for more rivals.]

It was just the first in many such exploratory sessions. You said you wanted me to help you unlock your Stand's potential, after all.

[tropism]

Isn't that the most interesting? Family challenging you to do better?

And yes, I did. I've done my own research about your powers prior to that, but that didn't prepare me for the real thing at all.

[dioception]

I don't think it's any more or less interesting than any other kind of rival.

That is common. Next time you know more of what to expect. Until you don't know, of course. I have a feeling that my fighting style is one that your Stand has particular weakness against, which should make me a very good person to help you strengthen those areas.

In the same vein, I will be using you to better my understanding of other types of fighting. I will not go easy on you.

[tropism]

It is. I do better in close quarters, but hand-to-hand isn't my specialty. It doesn't help that you can stop time.

I will do what I can to become stronger. I welcome your power.
