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?

Have a haiku.

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

[Clings, because ugh why is life so hard right now.]

...I'm not giving up on him. He's my first real friend, Marco. There's no way I'd leave him like this, no matter how dumbass he's being. It's just... it's hard living through this. I can't blame him for feeling hopeless sometimes, 'cause there's nothing else for us but this place, and it keeps screwing us up. It's a choice between sucking it up, or nothing. But it's really hard...

[Curling up more in Marco's hug.] He's way stronger than me now, and he's lived through a lot s-so... whenever he loses hope like that, I...I feel like giving up too. I hate feeling that way, but... [why can't things be simpler like when they were both kids?]

Aye... it is hard.

[Hugs tighter. He nearly wants to cry himself, but this is helping. A lot.] I feel the same way you do matey. That's why I got so mad at him, eh? Because he's my reason for always trying so if he can't get it together, what chance have we got, right? But it's okay. He will. It's just a matter of time, unfortunately. And we'll keep trying from different angles until he gets it. Agreed?

And things... they're not hopeless here. I mean hell, it's got more calm times than some of the New World, and there's a lot of fun. We'll just have to make it more fun.

...Yeah, agreed. [Lightly patting Marco's back; sometimes Sabo forgets the eldest bro needs comfort too. Which is also partly why he chuckles a little.] We should get Luffy to kick his ass this time. He'd always hated it whenever Luffy makes sense about something, y'know. Then again, that goes for me too! [Because when Luffy's right about something, that usually means you're being incredibly, unbelievably dumb about it.

But he goes quiet again for the next part, remembering how many times this place hurt him already and he's here for barely half a year.] ...Do you really think we can?

[Laughs.] I'll have to remember that. Get Luffy to talk sense and he'll have no choice, eh? But let's consider that a last resort for now.

[Marco nods and ruffles Sabo's hair again.] I know so. With three amazing brothers like us how could Ace go wrong, eh?
