@godlybeauty ]] Seemingly after he processed the situation, Hol’s breathing and heartbeat went back to normal. He looked… Confident, almost. He’d gotten out of this before, he could do it again, he just had to be careful with his next options.
Despite his fear of DIO, his statement did… calm him more, in a strange way. “You’re… Not mad?” He asked, almost seeming puzzled. However- if the vampire hadn’t killed him yet, it must’ve been true, unless he was toying with him. Even though he didn’t technically know if he was really a vampire or just a very eccentric and powerful man, the dreadful thought of being drained of his blood was one Hol avoided dwelling on for too long. “Well, I’m glad in any case…” This he could admit. “How’d you find me?… No, I doubt you’d come all the way here for me, so- mind tellin’ me what you’re up to in Italy, DIO?” Saying his name only brought him dread, a sort of confirmation that this DIO was cemented in reality rather than a nightmare. Even still, other than his tense disposition, his pulse and expression were calm.
