True, but I also grew up with it. Curiously, I told Jojo once that while one experiences Sanguis, it's a bit like being a vampire, really. The enhanced senses, being territorial, that sort of thing. What I might suggest is carrying something with a stronger smell that you can pay attention to. A pouch of lavender, perhaps. Or a belonging of someone's.
Of course I would! Granting whimsical blessings is just rather close for my comfort. Belnades, ready to smite you from the heavens above if you displease me!
Anyway. I realized that, too, the similarities. That's why I thought I'd come to you. I've been holed up in my apartment, everything smelled so much. And...the feelings are curious, too. It isn't like I'm changed completely, but avoiding the instinct is like having to push a bolder uphill. I need more time to learn to work with it. I'm sure everyone does, at first.
I could carry around Trevor's wretched cape! Honestly, if I could smell it even more than I usually can, I might pass out. Lavender should be enough. Perhaps some fresh mint.
It was an adjustment period. I'll admit, I'd have been worse off without Jojo's help. I can't imagine how it must be for others who don't have someone to assist them. I was lucky, in a rare moment.
Found the emotes, have you. Now you're unstoppable.

I know he doesn't seem it, but he's exceptionally thoughtful. Mostly he has a hard time putting his thoughts and actions to words right away, so he can appear abrasive at first.

Besides. How did you put it? "It concerns you more, I should think?"

I don't think I'd mind if you'd called me that.

Adrian.
I'll...probably need time to get used to it. But if you'll allow me, I want to try. You deserve that much. More, even.
But you need to let me know if you do mind. Alright?
no subject
...And I'm sorry. For my behavior.
no subject
Adrian, do you mind if I ask you another favor? About Sanguis.
no subject
Certainly. What of it?
no subject
But I figured you would have some experience dealing with enhanced senses.
It's...a lot. Nauseating, actually.

You will adjust, I think. Fighting against instinct is something we all learn, one way or another. Even I have had adjustments for Iris.
That terrible thing. Yes, I'd avoid wearing it. Might be a bit much, but some herbs or something like it should be sufficient.

Iris seems like quite a thing to get used to, though. At least what I've heard of it. I can't envy you there.

[Yes, she's figured out what emojis are. Don't judge. Quick learner, she is. Fun pictures.]
Jotaro doesn't come off as the doting type right away. But I'm glad he was able to help you all the same.

Just a moment. Sorry, I know this deserves a more thoughtful response, but I need to get this out of my system first.
