The only sound to be heard was that of the carriage's wheels rumbling over the stone cobble path. No words were exchanged between me or Dio. I had my face reading intently through a book as Dio just sat in silence, his arms folded, and eyes closed. I didn't know how long we'd been traveling or how long until we'd reach the Joestar mansion.
Soon, I closed the book and turned my attention to look out at the countryside. Living in the streets of London, I'd never fully gotten a glimpse at the fields and pastures the country offered. However, even now, viewing a sight like this, my mind wasn't at ease.
I miss mom i said to myself
And that's when the silence was abruptly broken when Dio spoke up, scolding me. "You're anxious. Stop it. Get whatever is bothering you out of your mind, it will only weigh you down." I turned to my brother to see his eyes open, glaring right at me.
I simply nodded, while me and Dio did have a good connection to each other. He was still very much a cold and heartless person. He always lectured me if I found myself second guessing my actions. This did cause me to ask, "What do you think the Joestars may be like?"
It was at this point the carriage finally came to a stop. Dio felt the need to state the obvious. "We're here." I nodded before saying "Okay." Dio took hold of his respective suitcases and pushed the carriage doors open.
Instantly, Dio threw his case onto the stone floor in front of him and leapt from the carriage. Landing in a dramatic pose shortly after. As he got to his feet, his face hardened in his usual cold glare. I followed soon after, though less theatrically. Instead, I just stepped out slowly and asked, "Was that necessary?"
Dio didn't respond and instead kept his glare directly ahead. I followed his gaze and noticed stood directly opposite us was a boy about Dio's age, a boy with dark blue hair. For a moment he looked at us with confusion before a kind, gentle smile spread across his face.
He greeted "You're Dio and Dia Brando, right?" I nodded and said "That's right." Doing my best to sound polite as well. Dio just grinned and returned "And you must be Jonathan Joestar." So, this was the Joestar heir?

Extending his hand outward, he spoke "Everyone calls me JoJo. Nice to meet you." I again, did my best to mirror with a kind smile "Nice to meet you JoJo. I look forward to getting to know you further." Jonathan's smile grew as he said "Likewise!"
It was at this point a dog's barking was heard. We all turned our attention to see a dog running towards us. Jonathan called out "Danny!" As the dog began running around, Jonathan extended his arms out.

"See him? That's Danny. He's my dog. Don't worry, he doesn't bite." That didn't stop Dio though, his expression turned to one of cruelty and malice as he thrust his knee out, striking the poor creature in the face! Causing it to fall to the ground with a whimper.
DIO!
I rush over to dog
He whimpers
I rub his body
He wags his tail
Dio's action hadn't gone unnoticed by Jonathan though. Enraged he exclaimed "What was that for?! You'll pay for that!" Both him and Dio raised their fists up. I turned my attention from the dog to the two and stated "Enough, both of you!"
Neither listened though, it was only when another voice spoke, calling out "What's the matter?!" Again, we turned around once more to see an older man standing in the doorway to the large mansion. From his heavy resemblance to Jonathan, it was clear this was the head of the family who our father had gained a favour from.
The man approached, asking once more "What's going on out here?" Dio turned to him and spoke first, putting on the 'perfect child' act. "I'm sorry, the dog jumped at me. It was a reflex."
I cough *bullshit*
You say something Mrs. Brando
Sorry just had to clear my throat
very well
Dio look at me while i keep a eye on the dog
Seemingly buying the act, the man gestured inside. We entered into a large open hallway, and it was here the man greeted "Welcome Dio, Dia. You are part of our family now." Turning to the staff of the mansion as well as his son, the man who I now knew to be George Joestar informed, "Everyone, I owe my life to these men's father. Treat them as you would JoJo." The staff all bowed and spoke in unison "Yes my lord."
