Pucci listened closely to what DIO had to say. The mannerisms, the things he said, his aura... This really was DIO. It couldn't be anyone else. No illusion, no imitation, nothing would be able to so aptly recreate the genuine thing, except for the genuine thing itself. Either way, Pucci was glad that DIO was generous enough to see things in the same light and ally with Yuna.
At DIO's comment towards the unconscious Izayoi, Pucci simply shrugged.
"People speak to compensate for their inactions. The haughty and proud are the weakest and most vain, as scripture has proven."
With that, it would seem that the shadows would suddenly disappear. Once Pucci was sure that the coast was clear, he would jump off the tree branch and land on the ground, having Whitesnake cushion his landing as to not break his legs, of course.
As Yuna would approach him, and perhaps DIO, should he follow, Pucci would look down upon the girl, and... give a more tranquil, peaceful look than usual, compared to his passive, sometimes apathetic, and even less often times determined expressions.
"This, dear holy warrior, is a man that has inspired me as much as the Holy Lord has."
"I love him as I love God," he said, giving a look at DIO briefly, before back towards Yuna,
"His name is DIO. And... his presence is proof that the Lord is on our side. By willing him to exist with us, there is no chance that that Beatrice witch will be able to defeat us. That, I can guarantee."
Before Pucci would be able to say more, however, his thoughts would be interrupted by the sudden presence of the strange cat girl. Ignoring Hazama, his attempt on the girl's life, and Jason's intervention, as though their struggles were mere squabbling in his eyes, Pucci would approach the girl, getting on his knees and putting a seemingly comforting hand on her head, though his grasp on her hair was... oddly tight, while his eyes stared at hers.
"Dear child... Where is your mother? We are... quite lost here. I am sure you'll be able to help, yes?"
...
"Or else."
With that, Pucci positioned his knee, as though preparing something should the answer he would receive be unsatisfactory.
