[Marco gently pokes Ikki's cheek.] Hey, I have experience where it counts, eh. It's all the extra fluffy things I didn't get. At least I never made a nest.

[Pauses and thinks about that a little.] Well, not one made of twigs and wood anyway. I did make one of ash and embers, but I was going through a phase and trying to prove something to my Pops, honestly the whole thing is a little hazy.

Blanket forts don't count as nests do they? I should ask Leanne. And then build one for Robin, but I have no idea how much Robin knows what that kind of thing means, oops.

[Takes a long drag from a bottle for himself.] I'd ask her to marry me, you know? Except I know she'd say no. Not here, not now. I still think of her as my mate. It's weird, eh. I've had partners before, or even a girlfriend, but never a mate-mate.

[He gives a ridiculous goofy grin.] I kind of like it. [A lot.]
