“What?” His words caught her off guard. Her footsteps come to a halt as she whips around to face him. Needless to say her expression’s changed from something sour to general shock with both brows raised as high as they could go. Was…he serious? There’s a moment of silence as she awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck. It was…weird to hear him say that. Hell it was weird to hear him even talk that much.She takes his words into consideration before an idea comes to mind.
“…There’s a car show downtown. I don’t know if you’re into that kinda thing but…” Her sentence dwindles off before a shrug is given. “Unless there’s something else…? That’s not marine biology related…” There’s an odd mix of emotions- a mix she doesn’t know how to handle. To some degree, she supposes that makes them similar in their own weird way. She always seemed to show a little too much emotion while he always seemed to show so little.
“But it’s whatever. I don’t care as long as I don’t have to look at fish.”
“It’s fine. Maybe you can teach me something about cars,” Jotaro says, digging in his pocket for his own keys. The vehicle he brought to the beach is a little beat up and outdated, a sure sign that he doesn’t care much for cars so long as they work.
Her surprise at his words is what stings him a little, but then again he supposes he’s never been the best at expressing that he really does care. If that means he has to walk around looking at fancy cars then he can’t say he minds. Besides, he figures the worst that’ll happen will be Jolyne ignores him to ogle all the expensive cars… or whatever it was that people did at car shows. He didn’t exactly know.
“Do you drive?” he asks out of curiosity, opting to ignore her comments about fish. He’s almost tempted to explain that it’s not just about the fish, but at this point Jotaro’s sure that she’d rather not hear it. On top of that, he doesn’t want to hurt any progress, however small it might be.
“You can drive us there if you’d like.” He sees no harm in that.
