You... probably have more in common with him on that note I guess?
[Plays with a bit of blue flames in his hands. He's still too furious to really explain to Sabo even just why he's mad at Ace. "Cheer up or I'll kick your ass." Yeah, that was a pretty idiotic thing to say, wasn't it? But like he already told Sabo, normally he wouldn't have to say it, he'd just do it.]
He's... Ace... [Takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and distantly tries to recall his Pops, to bring him there, to ask him what to do, how to handle it, what to say. Whitebeard always seemed to know. Always understood people so well. Really, Marco felt clumsy in comparison.] It's like throwing logs on a bonfire, eh? One, two, three, he keeps burning, nothing explodes, he can handle it fine. Five, six, seven, he starts having more troubles. Once he reaches ten, it's like he'll either suffocate or explode, and sometimes he does both.
[God Marco wants a drink.] It's been a really rough patch. [Another deep breath. He's guessing. Does Ace really feel like he's alone in the world? Surely not that... but "he's acting like it?" No, that's still too immature thinking.] So I guess it's just a few too many more logs on the fire right now, eh?
