[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 turns back at that, but gosh I don't think he's ever really admitted he loves when people are blunt out loud. So instead he'll just lean in to give Marco a kiss for an answer.]

I believe this is my first time hearing that sort of statement without feeling a bit nervous. [snuggles into]

Correct. [Well... he's only heard it in strange circumstances until now BUT YEAH.]
