Eternally Ace's self-appointed phoenix guardian, Marco shows up soon enough, knowing just where to find his idiot of an adopted captain. He wraps him up in a blanket and carefully tucks a pillow under his head before sitting down next to the fiery idiot. Logically Marco knew Ace would no more get cold in snow than from being outside without a blanket, and Ace fell asleep in his food so often that a pillow wouldn't make a different anyway, but it isn't anything less than Marco would do for any of the crew, and besides, Ace needed to be able to rest sometimes without using all his energy on other things too.
Marco's not the least bit sleepy yet, but he doesn't leave Ace's side either. Just sits and quietly reads next to the sleeping kid.
