[He stares at him for a few seconds longer, eyes darting about his face, before nodding.]
He was a fortuneteller. A real one, I mean, not just one of those scam artists. He taught me a little . . . I could probably read your future for you. I, hah, I made a tarot deck for Lucy, when she first got here. It's just a pack of cards, but it works just as well as a real set.
[He slips a hand around Bruno's hips, pulling him in close. Slipping his fingers beneath his shirt, he traces his fingers against his skin, trying to think.]
We were the same age, or just about, and I think that set us apart a little. I mean, don't get me wrong, Kakyoin and Jotaro are my best friends, but I think . . . I don't know. It was easier for us to understand each other, just like it was easier for them sometimes. We'd compete a lot-- he was competitive as hell, even if he tried to pretend sometimes he was too mature for that. He always tried to act like that: mature, you know? Superior. I thought he was at least thirty the first time I met him, and then I asked and no, turns out he just really feels like he's gotta be in charge of all of us. Then again, it's not like Mr Joestar was all that put together. He was determined, but it was Abdul who'd make all the hotel arrangements or whatever.
Mm . . . that's a pretty accurate illustration Jotaro did me, you know. Him and Magician's Red both. He was one of those people who had a real presence, you know? He'd walk into a room and you'd know right away.
