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

[For a while, there's nothing but silence between the two of them. Newgate is still trying to figure out how to word things so Marco will understand his dad isn't upset at this Marco. He doesn't exactly think the Marco he fought with is the same as this one right in front of him. He rubbed Marco's back, just as if he were a scared child trying to find comfort.]

I'm not mad at you. And I'm not disappointed in you. It wasn't your fault, not a single bit of it.

Pops....

[Hugs tightly.] I wasn't... you know I wasn't... [Just leans against him still appreciating the closeness and everything about Whitebeard, his father, that made him safe again.]

I'm still sorry. I don't think I've ever been mad at you before and it was so weird. And awful. [A shiver.] Never again. Never.

If I'm hear one more apology coming out of your mouth, I'm going to kick your ass.

[He gives him a little squeeze to tighten the hug, a low hum at the back of his throat like he's thinking of something.] It's over and done, and you're back to you. That's all that matters.

[Laughs weakly and keeps leaning against Papa's chest.]

Okay, okay Pops. [Snuggles happily.]

I wish I knew what happened though, eh.

[Yeah, just stay where he can hold you.] They messed with your head. And I'm sure as hell not going to forgive them for that.

[Grunts quietly.]

But who.

My guess? Those damn scientists people keep talking about.

Not their style.

Mah, I'm sorry Pops, I know you don't like the mochi much, but it looks like they'll be staying... I helped scare off the puni they were being cornered by.

What is their "style"?

I don't like either of them. Promise me you won't get involved anymore.

The world blows up around them and they haphazardly remember to tell us to move out or get our asses handed to us by the end of the world. Or need help or something. Messing with people's head for the monsters? Not really entertaining enough for them.

Aye, Pops, I promise. My sister Sora likes them, they keep her company, but she yelled at me for the punis too, eh? [Rubs the back of his neck and just winds up hugging Whitebeard hard again and mumbling yet another apology.]

Maybe it could've been the actual mochi and puni, then.

[He smiles, rubbing Marco's head, then giving him a quick kiss on the top of it.] Good. I'm glad you're agreeing with me on that.

It's possible. Monsters around here usually have something extra for defense and they were genuinely at war. I can't really blame them for wanting help. Either side.

[Happy tsun blushes at the head rubs and kisses.] I... I don't recall disagreeing with you ever before that. [So many mixed feelings there again.]
