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

Smoker's post was just kfjngdfjk SO MUCH. and we will forever let you RP

[hiken_ace]

Death has always been the end, it's hard to figure out where to move forward. Finding a way has been a huge challenge. You really think we can find one?

[He cracks a smile eventually.] You never let me forget how loved I am. I won't lie, it was better back home. But I'm happy with what I have here, too.

[He nods firmly.] Thank you.

I knoooow and still is @_@, and PSSH Nooez you don't know what you're setting yourself up for

[fierybluebird]

Absolutely. Think of it like getting to Raftel, only to realize, there's another whole ocean there instead, just crammed into a tiny little barrier'd place with weird as hell Malnosso and everyone's a sky islander with spirit magic.

Just because the end happened; if there's more, we're pirates. We'll take that more and get every last drop of fun and excitement and adventure out of it, eh?

[Another hug.] It has always been my pleasure Ace. More than that. An honor, okay?

YES I DO and I like it

[hiken_ace]

[He stares at Marco for a moment before nodding.] Yeah. We'll have more fun.

[He buries himself in the hug. But dkgdnjfmg bro.] It's not... that great.

Liiiies all lies

[fierybluebird]

We always do, eh?

[Ruffles Ace's head.] Yes, it is. I won't tell you how much to hurt or not, you don't tell me how much to enjoy having known you and the others, got it? [Affectionate hug squish.]

Neverrrrr

[hiken_ace]

It's what we're known for.

[dkgjdkfg bro, you are too good.] Love you.

YEAH-HUH

[fierybluebird]

Best thing to be known for.

Love you too Ace. [Ruffle ruffle ruffle.]

NUH-UUUUH

[hiken_ace]

[He grins, but eventually swats his hand away.] I'm glad we got that cleared up.

[fierybluebird]

[Takes a deep breath. This is the part where he'd joke around because FUCK EMOTIONS. He throws them on the ground!]

[But no, that's why he had to say everything without interruption before. So he wouldn't run and start joking all over to deflect. No sense screwing that up now.]

Me too actually. I still would rather just throw kicks and punches from now on, but I meant what I said too. That we should try to... address these things before they bubble over. Agreed? [If they can even be spotted before then? But don't worry Ace, Marco's really saying it more for himself. It's something he knows he needs to work on.]

[hiken_ace]

[NO MARCO, YOU NEED EMOTIONS.

He hums in agreement with that statement.] Sometimes words are gonna work better than fists. And I think the next time this happens when we have a bad day, we just need to take a little time to breath before talking.

[fierybluebird]

[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.
