No, not at all. But I have to say, all this stuff of bloodlines is reminding me how I've never had any luck with them at all.

[ that he's not asking for a fight is a good thing. giorno makes a decision: ]

.... you don't have to take me in as your family. You have that right. Despite everything else - you're a very good person. And although it doesn't feel like that to me right now, based on what I've heard, I probably owe you a debt I can't repay.

[ a pause. this one longer than before, as giorno weighs his words carefully about dio. ] I looked up to my father. As a child .... you've no idea what he meant to me.

But you've no obligation to keep such associations with you. If that's what you want, I will oblige.
