By way of answer a long green arm whipped out from behind the man, snaking its way through the air and snatching up the gun before the girl had a chance to touch it. Slowly, the rest of a being began to reveal itself from behind the man. First its shoulder, cracked, stony, and caked in a layer of moss. Then the head, a solid grey visage of a monstrous face, eyes wide and teeth bared in a large smile. Its other arm wrapped itself around Rodger's neck like a scarf, resting its hand on his chest. It swung its lower body out, the palm leaves of its skirt fluttering, and gripped Rodgers side and leg with its feet to hang off of him. It pulled the gun back over in front of Rodger, then crumpled it in its fist.

"You didn't think you were the only one?" He said, curiously. He must be her first, he decided. It was weird at first, when you didn't know the rules. He'd gotten a crash course from a drug dealer who made the rounds in his neighborhood who could make lights wink out, who'd heard them from his defense attorney, who'd heard them from another guy, who heard them from another guy and so on and so forth into infinity. He guessed it was his turn to pay it forward. "Only people that have a Stand can see other Stands. That's how I knew you had to be involved in that ruckus earlier. Not many people just walk around with it out in their day to day."

"As for me and 「VITALOGY」," he said, reaching into his back pocket and pulling out two more seeds. One he passed to the Stand, who opened its hand enough to catch the seed without dropping the broken gun. Without a though it crunched its hand, and there was a sound of furious growth and the clattering of metal as the innards of the gun fell out of its hand, but when that hand opened the gun was back in its original shape. There seemed to be green matter growing in between the cracks that had been made and the end of the barrel had thin white flower petals growing out of it, but it was otherwise as good as new. "The only side we're on is the side of peace. Catch." He said, throwing the weapon to her. He held up the other seed to her between his fingers. "Now, what do you think about letting me patch that hole in your shoulder before you lose any more blood? That gun works perfectly if you don't trust me."
