Jotaro expects Rohan to meet him at 12 o’clock sharp. This was an arrangement made between the two of them a week in advance, something about everyone on their whole little ‘team’ having at least one mini-adventure together. He’s already gone hunting with Josuke and had that unfortunate run-in with Killer Queen’s Sheer Heart Attack with Koichi. While he hadn’t gone on one with Okuyasu yet (he wasn’t sure if the face-off against Akira truly counted since all of them were there), he truly knew little to nothing about Rohan save for what Koichi and Josuke told him.

Needless to say Jotaro wasn’t exactly one to judge others without getting to know them first (they’ve exchanged a few ‘hellos’ and numbers as a result of both being involved with the search for Yoshikage Kira), but what he’s heard isn’t exactly promising. 

Honestly, Jotaro can respect a man who’s made such a name for himself at such a young age. He’s familiar with Pink Dark Boy and acknowledges Rohan’s skills as a mangaka so perhaps… 

Perhaps he isn’t ‘the most annoying asshole ever’ as his uncle so eloquently put it. 

Regardless, Jotaro believes this will be a pleasant outing. Unlike most of the others that Jotaro’s been recently acquainted with Rohan is an adult like himself. They’re not even out on Stand User business as Rohan simply agreed to accompany him at the beach to sketch some of the starfish and other shallow-water sea creatures. 

Just as Jotaro looks up from the newspaper he was skimming he’s alerted to the sound of a car door opening a few yards away, his gaze drawn away from the pseudo-flashy vehicle to the designer shoes and pants stepping out. 

‘That must be him,’ he thinks, standing up and making his way over to greet the artist. He doesn’t offer much more than a gruff hello before jumping right into business, explaining how part of this involves Rohan stepping into the water with him to really get an eye for the sealife, eyeing those pristine white boots as he says so. Hopefully Rohan isn’t the awfully vain type? Or won’t care about removing his shoes? 

“… But if you’d rather we do some investigating on the topic of Yoshikage Kira’s whereabouts we can do that instead. I just figured sketching would be something more enjoyable and a nice break from the stress of that.”
