I'm well aware of what I'm saying, but it would seem you are not.
[It's the first, unpleasant flare of a temper.]
[Not enough to like burn because Dio has the wherewithal to restrain most of it, but perhaps enough to sting and scald. And... And Dio feels an iota of regret for that. His temper is not going to help him, particularly if he loses control of it as he so often does. Dio's jaw is momentarily tense and then everything smooths over once again like nothing even happened. Except that Dio does offer a further explanation. He doesn't particularly want to. He'd much rather Giorno simply understand without such an explanation, but there appears to be no such luck involved in any of this, and he needs something to soothe and repair any damage caused by that small bout of irritation. Not that it comes easily or necessarily gently.]
I didn't make demands for anything and I spoke in a way that likely only you would understand. You could say I was doing as a father should for his son, or I suppose you could call it a "favor" if there's something you'd like to accuse me of in my investment in you.
