[quote=@Lugubrious] He could get flustered? [/quote] What I was thinking was that for Forneus he would've gotten a bit externally flustered, probably calling out DIO for the need to defend himself when Forneus belives that a being stronger than humans and who has amassed amazing power (The World, he doesn't know about it- he thinks DIO possesses some sort of telekinesis) should have no reason to rebuttle insults at an Abyssal Lord if he does not fear his power. With the cat since it was a creature of the sea, Forneus is- well, really angry. What he would do next is that he would pick up the remains of the cat and absorb her (it being a being of water) then scold DIO for killing a creature of the sea. After that, Forneus would begin to basically say to DIO that "You cast of your humanity to become something you were never destined to be? You're a living disgrace, how dare you take power that is forbidden to humans, you're arrogant etc." Either that or Forneus would hold his anger, he would admit that DIO is very creative with his insults but they are simply trivial to an Abyssal Lord. He would then absorb the cat, saying that if DIO truly treasured companions- he wouldn't have been so quick to defend his relationship. Then he would take that and say that a true creature of the night would not need to defend himself for that he already knows the greatness of his power, anyone who does is a braggart and is simply abusing the power he is given- much like a corrupt politician. That or I don't know, I should take this in a new direction.
