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

Well, sometimes I wish I didn't.

[She gives Marco a glum look]

But, since I do, I make the best of it.

[fierybluebird]

[Gives a small one-armed hug around the shoulders.]

I can't think of anyone better to stop him, eh.

At least you get a normal life here for now? Small tastes.

[Waves his free hand at the pyramids.] Well, discounting the shifts anyway.

[feetoffury]

Yea, discounting that.

[She chuckles lightly, shaking for a moment]

This is still really weird.

[fierybluebird]

Is it? [Amused grin.] I'm not sure what normal is then.

[feetoffury]

Heh, where I'm from it'd be me settling down and raising a family right about now. Or becoming some high powered business woman or a school teacher.

Hong Kong's different than most of China, but it's still similar enough. And maybe I'd have liked that. Who knows?

[fierybluebird]

What's stopping you from doing that here?

We've got a school, and you're already planning on teaching fighting, right?

[feetoffury]

Nothing, it's what I've been doing.

Dunno though, I guess maybe it'd be nicer if it was more permanent? Or if I'd started when I was a kid.

[fierybluebird]

[Grins a little.] There's nothing wrong with doing things in the interim of chasing your dreams, eh? Pops was a pirate long before he found me and started his family, but it all worked out all right.

As for permanency... [A slightly bigger grin.] If I could give you that, believe me, I would. The best I can tell you is to take it one day at a time. Do everything you wouldn't want to leave unfinished, but live to the most. Sometimes there's almost something liberating in knowing you've got to make every day count as much as you can.

[feetoffury]

Always, Marco. That's what my father taught me.

[fierybluebird]

[Gives her a one-armed hug with a slight squeeze to it around her shoulders.]

Mine too, eh? Mine too.
