"Concerned about how I was?" With all this repetion, it's hard to forget that Jonathan likely did the equivalent of rousing from a particularly deep nap. The entire situation is odd enough as it is- Dio sliding (literally) over isn't helping, and he finds himself getting some curious flashbacks to when his watch was taken. Forever.

"Speedwagon...both of you," he adds, shaking his head. "I promise to you both, it was nothing so vital a concern. I simply took some time to think, given the day it should have been. It has clearly been far too long a time, if you had time to travel here however," he admits as he looks to Dio. "Truthfully, I had only thought it a few minutes. I can only be thankful that this isn't as long as when I was distracted by my achaeological studies," Jonathan continues, looking relatively shamed to admit the matter as a whole. "I cannot even number the amount of candles which burned to their last..."

Right, anyway. Speedwagon first. He steps toward his friend, expression as apologetic as ever when it comes to wrongs and perceived wrongs alike. "While I may not have seen much harm hiwever, it is clear that was far from the case. That my quiet would drive you to such worry that you seek advice in secret is something only I can take the blame for- and for that, I apologize deeply Speedwagon. To worry you, particularly after these past weeks, is the last thing I ever wish to do to you!"

But ah, "But, you are of course far from the only one here," Jonathan notes as he looks back to Dio again. "And...I do confess I am curious in regards to your insistence. Did you have something in mind Dio, that you came in person for all of this? You say 'celebrate', but this seems far from a matter deserving of it while Erina herself is in another world. While indeed it is insult to the date to sit and reminisce the hours away, I cannot see good in turning to a further extreme."
