@holosericaflore "I suppose I have a lot of explaining to do."
A lot of explaining indeed, because there's a lot not being said about the differences between their worlds. If Dio suspects what he believes to be correct, then she's the original.
"Fell free to ask any questions."
@holosericaflore Dio closed his eyes. There was sorrow on his face yet hate for what JoJo had become. The spoiled brat had made the blond's life hell--all because of jealousy. All because he had to attention of Straizo.
"It seems so, or at least JoJo and I will always at odds. It's a shame."
@holosericaflore Dio listened to her before he chuckled.
"I'm the lucky one I suppose."
A pause before his last sip of tea.
"I don't suppose you're used to that--at least not from me."
A frown settles again.
"And you wouldn't be used to JoJo being a vampire either."
@holosericaflore "Ah, yes, I learned it from him. He took me under his wing, when I was still just a brat."
But there's a noted smile on his face. A genuine one.
"I adopted him as my father, actually."
Huh?
"Dangerous? Oh no. Not for me."

Eventually would. And the other Crusaders?
"They're fine, everything went rather normally for them."
@Ocean_Stxr "Well, currently?"
Dio stretched a bit. It was still a strange thing to deal with, to comprehend for the marine biologist considering everything he endured.
"This version of you does still have Star Platinum but only the arms."
"In other words..."

@holosericaflore The blond simply nodded before he finally sat down, calm but not cold, callous or cruel. Though his silence was likely just as unsettling, it was likely he picked up signs that she'd have quite a few questions in mind. Why waste his breath making it known?

"You still grow up with your mom and your dad's still mostly absent, but your grandfather is..."
Out of the picture, pretty much entirely. It's not that he didn't help to create Jotaro (he did) but Joseph was dead. he'd succumbed to the mask...

@holosericaflore Her hesitation was a clue towards what she had seen. Despite the possibility that this isn't the Erina he knows, he'll treat her the same. With kindness, manners and care. Dio quickly went to make the tea before he asked...
