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?

[Text]
Have a haiku.

There was a bluebird
Who was too busy for you
Leave me a message

How is it not? You can't predict me at all, eh.

[hiken_ace]

You are very predictable.

[fierybluebird]

Oh, then you must already know why I win so I don't have to tell you.

[hiken_ace]

Humor me. I'm bored.

[fierybluebird]

But I hate stating the obvious.

[hiken_ace]

Well, do it anyway.

[fierybluebird]

Hm... Nope! Don't feel like it.

[hiken_ace]

[Stares at.] Fine, see if I ever pet you again.

[fierybluebird]

[Thinks this over.]

It was like chess, I already had you checkmated.

[hiken_ace]

--when?

[fierybluebird]

Just before I started grinning like a loon.

[hiken_ace]

[He thinks for a minute.] When I picked you up?

[fierybluebird]

Yes. See? Because you accepted the inevitable, that I win.

[hiken_ace]

...that makes no sense. I picked you up to get your feathery ass off of me.

[fierybluebird]

Still won.

[hiken_ace]

How the hell is that winning!?

[fierybluebird]

Because I got what I wanted.

[hiken_ace]

What did you want in the first place?

[fierybluebird]

To be -- wait... I don't want to say it out loud. It's gushy. And weird. [Sits on Ace's shoulder as a phoenix instead and rests his head on Ace's hat.]

[hiken_ace]

[He quirks an eyebrow up at Marco... even though he can't see his head.]

What? What is it?

[fierybluebird]

I just wanted this. Shush.

[hiken_ace]

[He blinked a few times before blushing a bit, and pulling his hat over his eyes.]

Idiot. Fine, you can stay up there.

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.]

Good, because I wasn't intending on leaving.

[hiken_ace]

Even if I kicked you off, you'd get back on anyway.

[Reaches up to scratch his head.]

[fierybluebird]

Exactly. [Coos happily and leans into the scratches.]
