fierybluebird | [Action / Accidental Video] In which baby phoenixes flail a lot

[Early Monday morning Marco is finally returned from his kidnapping. A lot tinier.]

[He wakes up by kicking his book open and there's a teeny tiny baby bluebird phoenix cocking an eye at the pages. Hello Luceti. Finally he decides it's just a blank journal so he hops back and goes to take in his surroundings, and checks the area around the fountain very carefully. Wet. Do not want. Well, he's bored now. Time to fly home.]

[That would work a lot better without this creepy added weight. What the hell! NO! HE CAN'T FLY?! So after several jumps, the hand-sized phoenix jumps about and tries to get air. Which much to his dismay, does nothing. With the added new weight of the fake Luceti wings, he can't fly! Eventually he just gives up and starts flailing.]

Pops! Pops! Pops! [There are a few more baby birdie chirps of this.] Uwah brothers! ANYONE! Where are you guys?!

[Walks around and looks distraught.] I must'a hurt my wings. But that makes no sense... because I'm a phoenix. [Sits back down and sulks for now. Oh, look a stranger! He starts to rush to hide behind the fountain, but well, he's not getting anywhere on his own... so he'll have to try something!]

Excuse me! Have you seen anyone really really tall around? Wait. No. What island is this? I don't remember docking? AH! Have you see Edward Newgate; my Pops around? It's really important, yoi! [At which point... he remembers he's a bird. And realizes nothing he said probably came out in human (it all did because lulz Luceti) so just have a deapan baby birdie stare.]

Don't be. Isn't it cool to even be known for vengeance in the first place?

I just want to use that to protect my brothers. It's okay if we don't always kill everyone as long as the most of us possible are safe.

[/Pow. Right in the feels.]

[... Ace really needs to go somewhere and cry right now. But now it's his time to put on a brave face.]

Don't worry. You do that a lot in the future. You protect them. [How could he just lie to his face like that?]

I know! [Reaches up to pat Ace's head reassuringly.]

[And you have to admit Marco himself has a ton of guile pretending not to be fucking messed up emotionally over the whole failure about losing Whitebeard and being unable to protect him in a war 30(+) years in the future.]

Come on! Fish!

[You're going to bed early tonight, just so Ace can sneak out and hate himself and cry.] All right, all right, I'm going.

[Lmao. That is fine, just because Marco will sneak out too :|]

Can I order you to be less sad? [Serious question.]

[Bad child. You won't get cookies. And see, Ace has been perfecting the art of fake smiles. And now you get one. Good luck seeing through that one.]

Aaah, I'm not sad! Honest!

[Punches.]

At least don't lie. Then I just made it worse.

[He will take that baby punch like a man.] I'm not sad. I just... kinda have a lot of my mind right now. But it'll be okay soon.

But if it weighs you down you should let your brothers carry some too so it doesn't hurt so much!

[See these big eyes Ace? He really believes that is how it works. Despite the extreme hypocrisy he's doing here.]

[Just remember, Marco, you said it first. Now to... pull some bullshit.] It's something I need to handle on my own for now.

You don't trust me? Is it because I'm small again?

[Switches to birdie mode for now.]

No, I trust you. Really, I do trust you a lot. But it's just something I need to handle myself for a little while. Please understand, Marco.

Okay. But if you want help you can lean on me, okay? I might not to look it but I'm super strong. I'm like, the second strongest person ever. After Daddy, of course, yoi.

... I know. You're strong enough to help anyone get back on their feet.

Exactly. So have faith in me, okay?

Hey, hey, I've always had faith in you.

[Genuinely giggles at that.]

Really?

[He hugs him tightly at that to prove it.] You're my favorite brother. Of course I mean that.

[EYES WIDEN. Hey this is 100% new to him again.]

Favorite?! [Gasps and slightly blushy!] Really?

[Aww, Marco. That makes him laugh a bit, and nod to him.] Yep. Nothing but truth.

Oh okay. [Hugs for Ace.] Then you're probably my favorite too, yoi!

I'd better be. [No, he's teasing, but that would actually make Ace really happy.]

[Happy birdie snuggles.] You're definitely my favorite here! [Beams. Mind you, Ace is the only one here and he's aware of it >>;]

[Yeah, he knows that, but whatever.] That makes me really happy, mate.

[Flushes and flails a little.]

But will the others be sad?
