Firstly, who is this?

[Because he's never had a network message with Giorno. Whomst'd've??]

[some of us have never had a brain cell in their life (me, it's me)]

it's giorno.

i'm just trying to figure out what's going on. i already know about some of it, but i didn't know he was involved.

[fucking mood]

Giorno, good.
I will only tell you this because I am grateful to you for helping Riley months ago.

Aunamee murdered me, and Riley took her revenge.
She of course told me this when I visited her on her birthday to make sure she was alright.

Since then, Aunamee has contacted and threatened her. Riley told me of this as well.
I assured Riley that I will not let anyone harm a feather on her head, and that if Aunamee ever comes for her, to fly away and seek help from myself or her friends.

As for Aunamee, he is a murderer, yes. But he crumples beneath the smallest challenge.
He fled from a duel with my consort, so surely if he ever tries anything with Riley, my superior strength and swordplay will be enough to keep him in line.

Is that all you needed?

[This is . . . all so much more of a relief than he expected. Okay. Good. Great. Fantastic.]

that's all. yes. i just wanted to make sure

[It's. Complicated.]

if she trusted you with this, then she'll listen to you if she won't to me. i wanted to make sure i was right to think that sending her to you was the right choice, if it comes to it.

thank you.

[His own feelings about Eridanus don't matter right now. Not more than Riley.]

[He squints at the screen for a few minutes before replying.]

Of course I will take care of her.
She is my daughter.

[He doesn't care if it seems delusional to an outsider, it matters to them.]

[It does seem delusional. At the same time, it doesn't. The remnants of that other place cling to the ankles like water weeds.]

i wasn't questioning you. only verifying my resources.

riley and i are very similar. sometimes that helps and sometimes it makes things worse. she's panicking. i want her to be safe. now i know for sure that you can help her in ways i can't. that's the most important thing.

i'm also in no way doubting your ability to wipe the floor with aunamee, for the record. [because eridanus is stacked like a brick shithouse Frankly]

I know.

The trouble resides in making sure she trusts in my reassurances.
She is afraid that the things she has done has branded her for life.
I simply hope you, her other friends, and myself are enough to prove to her that what matters is who she is.

That being said, has anything I should be concerned about come up in your conversations?

[The prying parent?? Absolutely.]

with all due respect, eridanus, my perspective on what is concerning is probably not on par with the moral mean.

that being said, i don't think so, no. other than the obvious, she's actually seemed happier since everything returned to normal. if i think of anything i'll let you know.

[he lied. fuck off you're not HIS dad]

Giorno, I am over a millennium old.
I'm sure that of everything we have already spoke of, there is little you could say that would shock me.

I do ask that you keep in mind, I only have Riley's best interests in mind.
If anything does come up, I would appreciate your telling me.

[He'll adopt you too Giorno, bitch, the fuck—]

And Giorno... thank you for being a good friend to her.

[area plant skitters away from additional dads but probably cannot help but gather them eventually]

i know you do. i do believe that. if i didn't, i wouldn't have bothered asking in the first place. and i won't forget. if she's able to retain some of the happiness she had before, then it was worth it.

of course. i'm very lucky to know her. i hope one day that she believes me when i say so.

She knows.
She spoke highly of you, to me.

I think she is just a scared little girl.

[said in the kindest way possible]

She just needs to understand that those who care for her will not abandon her so easily.

[Oh.]

[Not terribly relevant to a text thread, but even considering the circumstances there's a little c: going on over here.]

you're right.

fortunately, i think we're both very stubborn people.

Agreed.
She has thoroughly earned the love and affections of people who will no longer abandoned her.

And I have no doubts there are others whom would do the same as we would.
