[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?]

[He gives him a softer look and scoops him up, leaving his own jacket and shoes and such out as he moved to where Whitebeard's was.

And once there he'll set him down yes.]

Does this help?

[Nods and snuggles it, dragging Japan with him.]

A-ah, I am still a bit wet... [But he'll be pulled into snuggles.]

[Drags him anyway. The water will dry. And Marco's got blue flames going everywhere anyway, so he doesn't seem fazed.]

[He's okay with this. And he'll pet Marco under his chin once he's comfortable, too.]

[Chirps and melts into it, turning just a bit uke from all this. Yup.]

[Aww Marco. Japan will just hold him close and be straight faced and as comforting as he can.]

[Happily snuggles and rolls on his back and pulls the jacket close protectively.]

[Such a daddy's boy, Marco. Japan finds it endearing...]

[Definitely a Daddy's boy. Yup. At least someone finds it a good thing.]

[It is moe. Japan sort of wants to make sure Marco's alright, but asking won't do. How about another topic.]

It will not be too long before we get to Discedo...

Aye. [Tilts his head.] Any plans?

Not quite... [Sort of.]

The rooms that I stay in... I have a certain attachment to them. But I am sure the others are not staying there... [He means his family]

Well, I did get you your door back, eh. Seems pointless not to use it.

[Clearly wants to bring something up, but no clue how.]

[Japan is... the same... UNSURE HOW TO SAY SOMETHING OVER HERE.]

I will certainly use it... Ah, thank you for that, again.

[Okay he's going to be obvious, but he thinks this is oh so sly]

I suppose I was simply thinking it is a large space for just me.

Mine if I take up a good chunk of it then? [Amused head tilt.] You're just down the hall from Luffy and Ace anyway, and that way we'll have some space.

[And privacy. :|] And quiet to get work done, eh?

[Perfect way to say it ohoho. Japan smiles a little.]

Ah, if Marco did not mind it, I would quite enjoy that.

I'd appreciate it. I always meant to get a place of my own, but I tend to need people around to maintain my humanity, eh? [Kisses Japan's cheek.] And I want to be with you.

Normally I say that I would prefer to be alone, but...

[He snuggles into Marco's neck gfdkjgd] Ah... That would be a lie. I will enjoy the company.

Good. I prefer your company. [Ruffles Japan's head because yeah... there are some people he'd really rather just live alone than deal with. Which is secretly almost everyone ever.]

Truly? Seifer often said it was strange to live with me... [FROWNS and sideglances.

He totally finds himself normal so he doesn't get why.]

Seifer's weird. Nakama, but still weird.

[He just chuckles at that.

MAN HE AND SEIFER USED TO HAVE FAKE SHOOT-OUTS. THEY WERE BOTH WEIRD... Marco you are in for strange things but yes.]

I'm guessing this means you're different when it's your place than how you were out in the wilderness or on the ship the last few months?

Hm? Ah, it is natural to act at "home" when one actually is "home" right?

...Though this is a home away from home, of sorts...
