[There is something about the way Dio speaks and those suggestions that does not set well with him, he can't quite put his finger on it, but he knows he does not like it. Whatever his intentions may be.

He's narrowing his eyes at him, not that it's obvious while he's as hidden as he is. But he's fairly sure that's a bonus he has over the boy, simply the fact that he has an advantage of knowing what he will do versus what Dio could possibly do. Trust most of no one, it's served him well enough thus far.]

Admittedly, it was the time that bothered me as much as it had. If I had known this a habit, I would not have jumped as much at the situation as I had... [In hindsight it makes sense, that Jonathan could get fixated on one thing and lose track of time, but it wasn't something he'd necessarily expected of him. But this isn't what his attention is truly focused on.

Not for the moment.]

I would venture to say there would be some sort of ulterior motive there, but that is merely an outsider's observation on the matter. [While Jonathan may not read into it, he's almost certain Dio will. And it's a very clear, very obvious warning and threat in one.]
