[Florentino used to say things like that, he thinks. Leone, I could never be as brave as you, he would say as Abbacchio tidied up his makeup.

But he knows-- he really knows who's the strongest one here. Abbacchio carefully puts his arm around Reimi's shoulders, not touching her wings, giving her a loose hug.]

You're still one of the strongest people I know, sorellina. It doesn't mean you're totally flawless. You're allowed to be sensitive about this.

It's okay.

[doreimi]

Ha...how dare you say I'm not totally flawless, haha.

[It's an attempt, and a quietly grateful one at that. She leans into the hug, finding a wobbling smile to offer him as well.]

Thanks for coming to help me. I know it probably threw a wrench in your whole day, but I feel better knowing you're here.

[teaserving]

Yeah, I know. I'm a real jerk.

[Lightly, he nuzzles the top of her head, smiling against her.]

I was thinking about burning down another building but I guess I can be here instead. [More warmly, he says:] Anytime. Okay? You're always there for me. And I'm always gonna do what I can to be there for you.

[doreimi]

You're a huge jerk. And, like, a felon or something.

[JUST BURNED DOWN A WHOLE BUILDING AND WENT TO JAIL FOR IT.]

...So? Did he really chew you out for it?

[She means Avdol, clearly.]

[teaserving]

I'm way more than a felon. [HE'S IN THE MAFIA]

Oh. I mean, in his way. I don't think I've ever seen Mohammed angry, but I'm sure he's capable of it. Anyway, it was more like he was worried about me. More of a well-meaning lecture.

[and seriously did not blame him for fighting joseph joestar]

Josuke put the building back together, you believe that?

[doreimi]

Yeah, I know, you're a real tough guy, I believe you. [HE IS LITERALLY IN THE MOB WHAT IS THIS DISRESPECT.]

...Wait. Josuke put it back together?

[Something is not adding up here, and she's quickly coming to the realization of what it is.]

I thought you didn't really get along. You asked him to do that?

[teaserving]

Wow. Wow. [If anything, he just kind of enjoys it from her, tbh.]

Hm. We don't, but he did it himself. I didn't ask him to do anything.

I wouldn't hair if it was never rebuilt but I guess he felt like since he could he should.

[doreimi]

How did he find out about it, then? Was he just nearby when it caught fire, or...what?

[She cocks her head, regarding him quizzically.]

[teaserving]

I'm not really sure it's my place to say. You should probably ask him about it.

[he fought josuke's dad how does he explain this!!]

[doreimi]

...O...kay, because that's not suspicious at all.

[But she gets it, and smiles at him so that he knows she does, and doesn't press it any further.]

Well. Leave it to Josuke to do something like that, I guess. That sounds just like him.

[teaserving]

[All he can do is shrug. It's Josuke's business, and as much as he gives Josuke a hard time he does want to respect his privacy.]

...He's a good kid. Just don't tell him I said so.

[doreimi]

Even if I did, I don't think he'd believe me. But I'll remember you think so, anyway.

[...]

I still can't believe you burned it down!

[teaserving]

It wasn't on purpose! And it didn't help that it was Sanguis either.

...Not that it was a huge loss.

[doreimi]

You're such a thug, Niichan.

[She grins.]

A really sweet thug who helps out cute girls when they're in trooooouble.

[teaserving]

[In the most mature way possible, Abbacchio sticks out his tongue.]

Just the one cute girl, really. And it was totally worth it.
