[Marco's voice starts off cheerfully enough.]

Hey everyone, I think I found the place where the cave-in for the train-thing is. The currents here are pretty weird so if we can get ... some ... strong swimmers then...

[He starts trailing off, obviously seeing something.] Pops...? [His voice is quiet, barely audible. It's not possible, he knows it's not, he watched the man die. So it's just like Luffy's food and an illusion. Has to be. But then it gets stronger.] POPS!! [He starts running, sandals hitting the wood of the deck.] Pops... [This time he just sounds anguished. And then suddenly there's a splash. Uh where did Marco go?]

That's not too hard.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, I've heard. I guess I'm just being stubborn. [ He's pretty accustomed to hearing that anyway. ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. Sometimes that's a good thing though, eh?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

For some people more than others, I think.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Present company included?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Well, I don't know about you, but I'm apparently kinda hard-headed.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

I certainly have my moments.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Hey, whoever said it was a bad thing, right?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Aye. I always did get along with stubborn kids. Most of my brothers are like that.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Oh yeah, so you do have a lotta experience.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Of course.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Maybe I'm not even that bad.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

I think you're plenty cool.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Really? Well, I know that's saying something, because you're definitely cool.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Oi oi... stop that. You can't just turn it around.

[Jeez... protocol dude.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Says who? Is that in the bro code or something?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Just manners. [Waves a hand.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Okay, but it's wrong to lie. [ What are you, six, Hong Kong? ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

It's often just good manners.

[Video]

[bauhinia]

To lie? That sounds like Japan.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

There's a reason we get along so well, eh?

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Y'know, I think that's partially because he likes you so much.

[ Shameless, Hong Kong. Shameless. ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

I should hope so, I'm madly in love with him after all.

[No no, Marco is shameless. Hong Kong is just sneaky.]

[Video]

[bauhinia]

Being madly in love with someone doesn't automatically mean they feel the same way. But if the way he acts is any indicator, I'd say you're on the same wavelength.

[ Oh, well, you have a point there. ]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

Good thing I'm lucky in love, eh?
