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

OI! I'm not gonna die! Got it? You'll be stuck with me forever.

[grumble grumbly pouts. Bro, you suck, why would you even.]

[Just watches with an unreadable expression and then tugs on one of Ace's ears.]

Spoken like a true kid. All right Freckles, I dare you to enforce that.

H-- tch! [OW OW OW LET GO OF HIS EAR LFGKNLHN.]

Leggo! Fine, you're on! Geez, saying something stupid like I'm gonna die.

[There's a long pause in which Marco says nothing, just gazes at him and then takes a long drink.]

Everyone has to go sometime. [The words are quiet, like he doesn't even want to acknowledge their existence, much less that they came out of his mouth.]

Otherwise we'd get stuck with people like Blackbeard forever, eh.

[At least Ace is still barely sober enough to tell something's off.]

....Marco? [He waves his hand dismissively.] We're gonna kill him. So there.

Yeah, of course we will kid. [Another swig. He needs an adult. Or god help him; Shanks.]

Mn. Promise. [Holds up....his pinky.

Yes he is doing this GO WITH IT. Before you get drunk and won't remember it. Because lil bro is wasted again.]

[Oh god. He can't. Marco buys some time with a drink, eyeing that pinkie warily, as if linking them will cast a spell that will strike him down instantly for already know the promise to be broken. Finally he just reaches out and shakes on it.]

Ace...

[What does he say? That Blackbeard is too strong, that Marco didn't want him chasing the bastard in the first place and now he was definitely way too strong? Maybe it wouldn't matter. Maybe...] Live your life, eh. Wherever your roads take you. Just promise me that much.

[He sits up a little more at that. What was he...? He just nodded.]

Yeah, of course I will. [He squeezes the hand a little.] Promise.

You better. [Ruffles his head and takes a heavier swig of that drink.]

[He nods slowly and drinks more from his own glass. He side eyes Marco for a minute.]

Did something happen...?

Yes.

[He'd be inclined to lie and say no, but it was too obvious, even for Marco to pull off.]

I'm just having a morbid day, eh?

[He frowns, and scoots closer to Marco, giving him a hug.]

'M sorry.

[Blinks and hugs back.]

For what? [Tips Ace's hat down and lightly squeezes him with an arm.] Che... Ace... you didn't do anything. No regrets, right?

[He shakes his head.] That you had a shitty day.

Think I made you sad, too... [Too drunk to tell.]

[Laughs and shakes his head ruefully.]

Mate, I made myself sad. You know what the three happiest days of my life were? One of them was the day you joined the crew in full. You've brought me a lot of joy Ace. [Nudges gently with a fist.]

[Oh...yeah, he's going to blush at that. And smile.]

Geeeez, stop embarrassing me!

[Grins evilly and pokes his cheek.] I'm serious, eh. Right up there with the first day I met Pops.

[Oh Ace, he loves how easy you are to distract from your own sadness.]

[dfbjlhbslhsj more blushing.] C'mon, it wasn't that great. I was such an ass before that.

Oh right, as opposed to how charming I always am?

Nah, you were cute. I always surprised the nurses didn't try to look after you like a lost puppy. [Sticks his tongue out at him.]

[POUUUUUUUUT ~~FUCK I FORGOT I DON'T HAVE THAT ICON ANYMOOOOORE.~~]

I was and and am not cute.

[Pinches a cheek with a smirk.]

Is that river of denial you're swimming in warm?

[HNNNNN swats the hand away.]

No, it's not. Jerk.

Yeah, I guess you've gotten less cute over the years. Too growly.

I am not growly! [Grumbles and pouts.]
