[ ... Sigh.

He leans backwards as he's sitting on a bench near the biggest local bus stop, but he only ends up hitting the back of his head hard against a sign post staring there. Muttering a curse under his breath he rubs the back of his head as if he's trying to relieve the pain. Man, what a pain.. not that he minds doing jobs for Jotaro, but all of a sudden he decided to come back to town and bring his kid along?! Couldn't he have given a little more notice to begin with?! He was going to go out with his friends, but now he'll be stuck babysitting instead..

Well, not like he has a choice. He just has to deal with it, which is why he's sitting here and waiting now for the bus to show up since said kid is supposed to be on it. Not that Jotaro told him anything more about the kid other than that it's his kid, so he's assuming it's a guy and probably a young one too.. yeah, he's about to be in for a surprise.

When he finally notices the bus coming closer, he slowly stands up, hands casually shoved into his pockets, and he waits for the people to get off the bus, looking out for the person who's supposed to be that guy's kid. ]

[ Oh, this, huh.. well, he can't say he isn't familiar with the feeling. He had problems with Joseph too when they first met, after all, and even when they first met he was already so old.. but for Jolyne it's different, right? Her father was actually together with her mother, while he's just.. well, an accident, some sort of bastard child. But there's still part of it that's similar enough to recognize the feeling.

So he reaches up with one hand, rubbing the back of his head. ]

It's not like I had any contact with my old man either. I never even saw him until Jotaro-san brought him over here a while ago. I was raised by my mom and her old man all this time.

[So, he was...well, sorta like her, wasn't he? But, in her case, her dad was always there...except he never showed any amount of caring towards her and her mother. And something like that has made Jolyne resent that fact about her father. So, she's practically gritting her teeth as she's thinking about all of this, hearing Josuke's words.]

...Huh. Guess we aren't too far apart in that sense huh? Tell me, did your mom raise you as well? At least you...sorta had a father figure around the house, can't imagine what the hell Grandpa Joseph was thinking...

...sorry, I didn't mean to, uh...you know. Bog you down with this talk about dads and such, though...guess it just sorta slipped out of my mouth.

Nah, it's fine. No need to apologize for that kinda thing. [ It seemed like a rather big deal to her, after all. Josuke had never really cared until he met the guy and even then it was resolved quickly, but it must be different for her.. ]

The old man had me with my mom while he was already married, so of course he couldn't stay. I didn't even care, I was just fine with mom, but.. [ .. he sighs. It's not that deep, though. ] Then he showed up that one time and it was just weird dealing with him, I couldn't even think of that guy as my dad. I was sort of pissed off that he did that to mom too.

But.. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that it took some time, but I started to realise he actually wasn't that bad of a person and accepted him. Guess it's sort of hard to see at first.

[Jolyne listened quietly to hear out what Josuke had to say. Yeah, she heard the story from her Dad, but she couldn't actually believe it until she had actually met this goofball for herself and hear it come out of his own mouth. Still, she...actually gets where he's coming from a little, although...

She still hates the everlasting crap out of her dad for not being there all the time. Still, her expression is definitely a little lighter than what it previously was before, as she's rubbing Josuke on the back.] ...Sorry you had to go through all sorts of shit like that. Man, I couldn't even imagine what it'd be like if my dad was as old as him, though...

Heh, guess it's sort of good you got along with your old man, after all, though. Seriously, he may seem a bit out there, but...Grandpa Joseph ain't all that bad.

Yeah. 's not like I have a problem with him anymore, it's fine now.

[ He was plenty friendly with the guy before he left Morioh again, after all. Maybe he should visit him sometime if he didn't live so far away.. but that's not what's important, either way, he was just telling her about all it so maybe she could see her own situation in a different light too, even though it's a little different to begin with. ]

.. That's why I think that someday you and Jotaro-san will be fine with each other too.

...you really think that me and dad will be okay?

[Jolyne's eyes are fixated on the ground right now, trying to allow the words that Josuke had said to sink in, and for her to try and see things in a different light. It was difficult, though. She had always seen Jotaro as the sort of person to be distant in the first place, not really caring for what others had to think. But...Josuke knew Jotaro a little better than she thought she knew her own father...

Her eyes darted right back up, turning her face to look at Josuke's.]

Those words better be true, otherwise I'm definitely coming back her and I'm going to give your hair the worst makeover ever, got it?

Hey, stay away from the hair!! [ Almost defensively he raises his hands up to shield his hair with them, as if she's going to jump at it right away.. nobody touches the 'do, okay, it's important to him! ]

Besides, of course I'm right. Jotaro-san might be a little distant, but he's not some kind of asshole. [ He could tell that much from everything. ] He just.. uhh.. shows he cares in some different way or whatever, maybe? I dunno, I don't know anyone else who's like that. At least my old man's pretty straightforward, even if he's senile as hell.

Hehehe... [A devious look spreads across her face as she comes closer to him, almost looking as if she really will pounce on him given the chance. But instead, she pulls away at the last second, her sticking out her tongue.] Yeah, right, that shit's important to ya, I know.

[But right, Jotaro talk...Jolyne still has some sort of disgruntled look on her face as though hearing Jotaro actually being a good guy? She'd probably need to see it in action, but...she doesn't think Josuke would be the sort of guy to actually lie about it.] ...right, right, I think I could have told you that much by just looking at my dad, too. He's something else.
