Appointment Post 2.0 since the other is pretty full

[Voice]
Hey, couldn't get to the comm right away, probably out kicking things. Since that doesn't last long, leave me a message and I'll get back to you as fast as I can, eh?

[Written]
Have a haiku.

There was a bluebird
Who was too busy for you
Leave me a message

[No! He won't be part of your system! MAN!]

That sounds reasonable. Or maybe in the middle of it, eh? And we'll get food. That way we have to take our time. [And Ace might fall asleep so Marco will have plenty of time to be his normal chill self.]

[hiken_ace]

Oh, I like that plan a lot. [Because food. *u*]

[fierybluebird]

All right, new rule. We'll discuss things and have at least one meal together every day just to talk these things through. Sabo has to be there too so he can get things off his head and that way we don't upset him. So he knows what's going on instead of just what he picks up accidentally. It'll be less confusing for him, and better for all three of us, eh?

[hiken_ace]

--Sabo heard the argument? [He knows it's not unlikely, given how loud they were, but still.]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. He's all right now though, I think. You've talked to him since then, right?

[hiken_ace]

Well, I've talked to him, but not about the fight.

[fierybluebird]

Your call whether to bring it up, hopefully he's okay now, and if not, we need to give him more chances to have opportunity to bring these things up. Like at dinners, eh?

[hiken_ace]

Mn... [He doesn't really want to do it now. Not with all the other important things he has to worry about. Yes, he is procrastinating.] Maybe when I come back would be a good time.

[fierybluebird]

It might not even be bugging him, eh? We can just start off small when you get back. Work into it easily.

Just little things so that everything doesn't explode all the time, okay?

But aye, it can wait.

[hiken_ace]

... it might. I think he keeps a lot more from us than we think. [He leans against Marco.] Just... too much to think about right now.

[fierybluebird]

Which just means he really is one of us, eh.

[hiken_ace]

... heh. You're right. Maybe we should help him get stuff off of his mind, too.

[fierybluebird]

We should. Got any ideas of what we could do to cheer him up too?

[hiken_ace]

Maybe we could take a trip up to the mountains?

[fierybluebird]

That seems like fun. Just the three of us?

[hiken_ace]

We can see if Luffy wants to come, too.

[fierybluebird]

You think he would?

[hiken_ace]

Yeah! He likes going out and having fun. We could make a camping trip out of it.

[fierybluebird]

That does sound like fun. Are you sure you wouldn't want it to be just the three of you though? Like old times or something?

[hiken_ace]

But Sabo likes having you around. I bet Luffy'd like to have you there, too.

1/2

[fierybluebird]

Are you sure? I mean, if you're going to bring your nakama, he should bring his, right?

[And then Marco feels like that gets Sabo lost in the shuffle, which would miss the point.]

Like you're my brother because of Pops, and Sabo's my brother because of here, but Luffy...

2/2

[fierybluebird]

I'm probably just overthinking it, eh?

[But feel free to say otherwise.]

[hiken_ace]

[Awww, Marco, he just chuckles.] This'll be a chance for you two to get to know each other. You should at least spend time with your girlfriend's captain.

[fierybluebird]

Aye... I kind of need to tell him we're dating still. I'm not sure how he'll take it. I mean he's not her father like Pops, but still.

[hiken_ace]

... I might beat you guys to it. I've already told Vivi and Sanji. They didn't know! How could she not have told them? And it's Luffy. If it makes Robin happy, he'd be fine with it, I think.
