fierybluebird | [Video] In which phoenixes pirates and countries alike go exploring

Did you know there's a bird of prey called a secretary bird for how ridiculous it looks? It's actually extremely dangerous though. Its legs are so powerful that rather than divebombing enemy like a falcon or eagle or strange bird pinky -- [Wait, what was that last one? Yeah screw your normal birds, One Piece has weird things as you might know from the rapahn.] -- Instead a secretary bird uses its wings for balance and kicks snakes to death. For fun since snakes are shitty prey. I always thought that was a pretty cool fighting style.

Speaking of birds of prey, can anyone tell me more about birds in their world? Or mythological ones? Phoenixes, dragons, rocs, thunderbirds, anything like that, eh?

We're about 2 days out of Discedo now, and I've decided to completely map out the lake for Kiku's map program, eh. There are plenty of explorers in my world, technically the first pirate king started out that way even. But I'm wondering about everyone else's explorers. Is the world you come from all explored? Who first ventured to those far unknown reaches? Come on, I'm sure at least some of you have that adventurer's blood in your veins, eh?

Oh, and everyone in Spero, don't forget Ace is captain!

Eh? Cute. [Lightly nuzzles Japan with his scruff. OH JAPAN you black sheep you.] Who's this? [Points out the teal one.]

Is it... [Blinking though and fixing the glasses on the one Marco pointed out.]

That is Macao-san.

I don't think you've mentioned him?

He is very business-like and formal to most... Ah, but he has joked around with a few of the others. He gets along quite well with Hong Kong-kun.

[He points out Hong Kong in the picture.]

Ah, it used to be that he would trade with China-san and I... Go between us, I suppose. But when I secluded, I closed off my borders even to Macao-san. That caused quite a bit of trouble for him...

That was quite a few years ago, though.

What happened to him now?

...My conflict with China-san has upset most. Macao-san seems to have made it clear that he wishes to remain out of it.

[A sideglance. Well, he'd... respect that as long as he could.]

So I am avoiding him for now.

I see.

Are you still certain of your direction with that?

Yes. Knowing everything that will happen because of it... All of the consequences and damage...

I still would not stop. [a pause] I wonder if this makes me a "monster"... China-san seems to think so.

Mn. [Hugs.] I don't care what anyone else thinks, eh?

[A sort of sad smile.]

Ah, how kind... I do not, either. [probably a lie]

Thank you.

You shouldn't. [Ruffle ruffle ruffle.] And when or if you forget, I'll remind you. Just don't close off your options mate.

Very well then. [He just saves the picture and closes Marco's comm, passing it back to him]

Ah, thanks. You don't want to look at any other conversations?

So they really are important to you after all, eh? [The family, not the conversations, but take that as will.]

I viewed most. I can see the rest later. [He's so casual about this ide

but he glances at that] ...What's important?

[Laughs quietly.] And here I'm usually the nosy one. [But again, he clearly doesn't mind. What is privacy, ever?]

Your family. You're tsundere about them. [Teasing light poke.]

Hah? [LMFAO seriously this face] I am no such thing!

Yeah, you are. It's cute, eh?

...

I would not call them a "family"... China-san may have found me and introduced many things, but I was just fine on my own.

[so much BS here]

Tsun.

[GDFLSKGLSF THAT IS THE LIMIT watch this amazingness:]

S-shut up! [SHOVES IN THE FACE]

Hahhh, it is tsuntsun in any case! If you are stating false things, state them in the correct manner!

[Strokes his chin watching all of this.]

I see, I see, tsuntsun then. So this is the attraction to it. When Seifer hangs up it is all like "Oh so that's how it is." [Nods like he totally gets it now.]

Ahh, mouuu I am not-- S-stop looking at me like that! I am not tsundere!

Ah, of course not. You could never pull it off all the time, you are just tsuntsun about your family. [Nods.] It's very cute. I wonder if Sakura knows.

[just. flops forward]

I give up. [never again will you hear him utter those words]

[Chuckles happily and snuggles Japan.]

There there, it's just as well.

[Action]
