Mari could not get Dios wounded state out of her head. Then she didn't have to worry about it anymore.
(Oof internet fucked up my images fuck)
Gyro furrowed his brows. "He seems to be pretty aggressive...unlike before" He murmured.
"Mari! Johnny! Don't let your guard down! Don't let him pass you!" Gyro told his two comrades.
"Hey come on...don't take it that way! I'm done for today!" Diego smirked. "I'm done for today, the suns starting to set! There is a small village so let's stay there! Camping out is a bad idea"
Mari furrowed her brows, this was new from him. Well she never actually knew Diego but she still found it new different then first impressions.
"There are beasts out in this area. The other day after sundown I got surrounded by beasts. A few cougars and a few rattle snakes. The cougars and rattle snakes were on two sides of the road, blocking my way out"
"I was thinking of how to escape, but then for some reason I was able to pass through on one side of the road. I was able to get by two of the groups easily. Which side do you think it is? The Cougars or the rattle snakes?"
Mari confused by Dios question, at least tried to play along. "Um...rattle snakes?" She asked.
"Correct! Because they were....asssslleeeepp....and ssssnorring on the side of the road..." Diego says.
"Huh?" Gyro asked.
"Come on it's a joke! Only a joke! What did you think?! Then maybe they started to ssslaap eachother when they woke up in their faccesssssss! Get it?" Diego asked. Then he let out a loud cocky laugh. "Damn I feel good! Everything is so refreshing! Splendid! Maybe because I fell back there! My body feels light! It's too bad the sun is setting!"
"Stay away from us diego Brando! We won't travel with you!" Johnny growled.
"Johnny Joestar... I applaud your performance in both the 1st and 2nd stage. I heard you got injured but what a comeback this is!" Diego congratulates Johnny. Maris eyes widened upon seeing the slight cracks in Diegos skin, the cracks getting to be more as she squinted her eyes.
Then Diego started doing weird acrobats on his horse. "Johnny...what's up with him?! Are genius jockeys always this whackey?" Gyro asked.
"How am I supposed to know? But somethings strange...somethings wrong! We thought he was injured back there but now!" Johnny exclaimed.
"Are we actually bunking with him tonight?" Mari asked.
"Well...even if we try to avoid that...it would be far too risky for the horses! We need to stay at the village!" Gyro exclaimed.
