[ .... oh. giorno is uncomfortable, for a moment, because of course he'd been thinking about this and centering himself without considering that yes, he's not alone. he's never been for a while now. it doesn't always have to be on him. ]
I met some kind of magician freak that could see the pistols.
He tried to take my gun, but I got it back.
[ it looks like he's typing more and truly he is, but he deletes the rest at the last moment. he's not ready to tell giorno that one of the pistols got kissed by a weird clown. ]
[ he kind of remembers the way the magician's mannerisms and speech was like with him, and giorno replies with, ]
When we were on our way to Venice, I fought a Stand while you guys looked for a getaway car.
It was an automatic Stand that adapted and grew from learning its opponent's abilities. Had Gold Experience not been pushed to its limits I would've lost and died.
.... I don't blame you for anything, but don't let him get close to you again. For your sake, yeah?
Call me if you need anything.
[ something about the whole thing reminds him of that: a pseudoscientist's cursory interest with a subject, so obsessive that it gave birth to a stand that does the same exact thing. ]
[ It takes a long time for him to reply. Torn because of loyalty to Giorno and the fact that Hisoka owed him new clothes; Giorno would win every time, though. More composed now that he admitted a weirdo kissed one of the pistols. ]
Do you think they're similar, then? It didn't seem like a stand but it was just as dangerous...
I'll stay on my guard and you'll be the first to know if anything else happens.
In terms of personality. I think Hisoka is his own entity, but what makes him curious about people is something else entirely.
From my very limited interaction with him I can safely say it's not something easy to suss out from himself.
I appreciate it. I'm sure the Pistols were horrified, but all the same, at least it didn't escalate. [ pause because giorno doesn't really wanna think of escalations and anyway that will have a body count attached to it. ]

Understood.
I wouldn't know how to explain it all if someone asked anyway.
But I'll help, you know.
You don't have to do it all on your own now.

... what will I do without you, really.
I appreciate it. Thank you.

You just let me know what you need and when you need it.
You know I'm good for it.
[ what he's trying to say is that he's got your back, giorno ]

Have you found yourself in any trouble yet? This city seems to invite all kinds.
[ he means it in a joking way but he does also want to just check in on him. ]

Why did he try and take your gun? [ were they fighting? or was hisoka just curious and ... careless. ]
no subject
taking my gun was just his way of getting closer to them
[ there's a long pause, he's actually typed something and he hesitates before finally hitting send ]
he kissed one

I told him if he tried anything again I wasn't going to miss the next time.
[ Not that he'd missed, but that wasn't the point. ]

[ good lord, please. ]
