You realize that you sound completely nuts right now?
[ dude, what's a stand.
either way. dio's mind is racing as he tries to process the nature of these events and the fact that he is .... slowly remembering things. there is the dire nature of the situation where he feels that he is in danger of completely losing his shit, because terrible things don't happen to dio brando, they happen to other people, and quite often it's because of him. he shouldn't be finding himself in a situation where the other guy is just liable to point out to him that he had been in an equally vulnerable position with someone whom he doesn't even give a shit about, and yet here they are. his mind is a coiled viper. predictably it is whispering that he'd better kill the guy; dio stays his hand. that would probably make for an awkward starter to this recent acquaintanceship.
he glances at him.
he does not look familiar. he breathes a little easier. he needs to control his temper, really - ]
Are you alright? [ a pause ] I feel the beginnings of a migraine but that can be ignored, for now.
I don't like standing here. What's your name? Let's get out of here.
