[On one hand, he knows the feeling. Coming clean about your worst truths is not a simple feat, and he has yet to conquer it. Will anyone be left when he does? It's hard to shake off that fear.
Still, there are too many things he is used to being honest about. Honesty has done him more harm than good, no? So perhaps this approach will work for Giorno too.]
Awwww, c'mon!
You're being honest with me right now, aren'tcha? About me 'n Jin, 'n well...
[He considers this, and realizes it's true. He didn't intend for the conversation to turn around to him, but it did, and so seamlessly, too. On the one hand he doesn't like it at all, and on the other hand he's a little impressed by Asher's ability to get him talking. Dangerous.]
i didn't realize i was being honest, frankly
but in retrospect i suppose i was am whatever
[Well. If honesty's the game--]
you're a strange person to me, i think, because you feel so inherently trustworthy that i distrust it you're so free of artifice that i have to assume you've got some game going a stupid paradox
i like to be a reasonable, reasoned person, as it's the mark of a good leader in my opinion
leaders can't compromise their principles, but they have to also be fair and keep their emotions in check in order to serve their people in the best way possible

Those are not the first words his classmates would use to describe him. It means a whole damn lot to him to be described that way, actually...]
I've got no reason to be messin' with ya, G.
Besides, I'm pretty sure if I was, you'd just mess me up.
[That much is true, however.
He's more perceptive than one would initially believe.]

to hurt others

This team's full of psychos.
[Some people don't need a good reason, for them, it may simply be a matter of having fun.]
You just don't seem like that type of guy.
Like you're not gonna fuck with somebody for the sake of just fuckin' with somebody, unless they're a dick. Or a vag, or...

[While it's true that some emotions really are The Worst, the good ones seem to make it all worthwhile.
No matter how messy or irrational. At least, to him.]
