Try again.
[Now though, it's gotten thick enough to make it hard to fly through, so she shifts back to her normal form to walk the rest of the way. But now, they are surrounded completely by old trees that back in her Serenes, has seen many years and held history within.]
We are almost there.

[Slow nod.] So it's the opposite of chaos.
[That might just explain it then. He likes chaos. To a degree. Maybe not as much as Ace does, but still, complete and total order? Too placid. And he doesn't trust it.]
And if you get too close you'll become like a heiromancer?

[Ace was asleep on the deck only a few feet away from Chandra as she was getting a tan, absolutely unconcerned by the fact that he was getting his sleep cycle in while the sun was pouring down on him. Not only was he a fire man, but like Superman he recharged when the sun was out. It was just science.]
[Ace, covered in bandages from six or seven attempts to get Marco out of the forest, stalked through the underbrush with a gigantic net in hand. He squinted with a serious expression, holding it as he slowly began to pursue his first mate.]
Marco?
Come on... We've got all the supplies we can carry... We gotta go!
Marco?

No. I'll just start taking in white mana.
[She shrugs.]
It won't make me a heiromancer. I don't use magic for order and law. But it might...influence my spells, and maybe me a little bit. I might learn something new, like I did when I started manipulating blue mana, or it might just make my flames be different colors for a while. It's hard to say, because I haven't tapped the wellspring yet.
But I know I'll...feel...that energy. And I'm not sure I want to. Not after what Gideon and his lackeys tried to do to me.

[Slow nod to the first part--]
[Then a headshake about Thatch.] No. He hates this place. [Hand over his eyes, trying to think again.] He wants to fight, but even trying, I can't work up enough of a fight to calm him down. Maybe Ace can.
They're both... logia. So it's different. No bird brain instincts for them, just fire and darkness.
And Namur's a shark so he half gets it. The wanting to bite things at least, eh.

[Ace, with an irritable look on his face, stalked towards Vyse with two barrels under his arms and one hanging on a rope around his neck.
To most people that would be a choking hazard, but with Ace it was a choking hazard and a shortcut.]
...Vyse! Can I borrow you for a bit?

[Looks at Ace.]
[Then the forest.]
[Why IS Ace all bandaged anyway?]
[Captain though.... right?]
[He calls Ace Captain now.]
[He walks a little closer in phoenix form to Ace and gently headbutts him in the chest to ask what happened.]
[Words are for humans.]

[A]
[It's nice to get out and enjoy the fresh air for once, but, well, it's not the most exciting of places, is it? You can find Lea stretched out on the grass catching a nap, probably with a cookbook or his journal open on his chest or covering his face. Hey, everyone else is busy gathering supplies this time, right? Let them take care of it for once.]
[B]
[Getting his ass kicked during the fight with the Navy was pretty humiliating and it was made even more so because it really drove home that he's totally useless when he tries to use his Keyblade to fight. He's tried to find somewhere secluded to practice where no one can find him and he can't embarrass himself, but the island is only so big...]

...... [What is with Ace and sleeping all the time? It can't be good. She pouts a little and goes to try one more time.]
Ace! Wake up! Wake up and push me!
Ace! Wake up! Wake up and push me!
Okay.
[Grabs a perch up next to her, sitting on the railing for a bit.] Then stay.
I usually guard the ship anyway, and even though this place is pretty empty of enemies, you never know what might come along, eh.
And if you want to try out the mana, I'll be around to tell you when you smell off again, eh? [Sticks his tongue out, only half teasing.]

[He frowned at that. Watching Marco carefully now.]
[Well... that didn't sound good.] So... how long do you intend to stick around this island then. Cus to me it kind of sounds like we shouldn't stick around too long.
[Thankfully he's not effected like that. There's something about this place that gets to him, but not in a way that he wants to rip things apart. He wondered what that said about him. Because... that wasn't normal.]

Bluebells?
[He tilts his head and ducks down to the ground with her, but in his case, he keeps walking as a phoenix for now. His phoenix form seems to appreciate the forest if nothing else, and he knows how to spot homes when he sees one.]
What kind of trees are these, Princess?

Definitely not long.
But Leanne is recharging here so I don't want to pull her away too soon. It's a lot like her home.
[Gets up. Stretches his arms and knuckles and thinks hard again.] And the better she is, the better we'll all be.
[Scritches his scruffy chin though.] But I don't want it to start tainting the others. Chandra, and Thatch, and I'm not sure about Natsuno either.

[This is literally like, the tenth time he's asked that question today, but-- Ace walked up to Logan in the middle of that clearing, pointing at the bear with a dramatic sort of tone. It wasn't well reserved for that particular moment, but:]
Hey, Logan, are you gonna eat that bear?
Hey, Logan, are you gonna eat that bear?
[Kairi had been wondering about the past half hour, trying to see everything that was here and try all the things she could do. But so far she had only gone as far as wondering about. Seeing Nami however, she looked over, edging her way closer and closer, wondering just what she was doing.
Once she was close enough she paused.]
It looks like you are really studying those berries. Why is that?

[Asami would have known that Ace was an anchor. So, when he sauntered up to the railing of the ship ready to jump in, it would have been an amazingly clear red flag.
He stretched his arms out, putting on a set of shackles he had broken at the middle, so they were separate.
Then, he just sort of jumped in the water.]

[Good thing Vyse is used to Ace's brand of logic by now. And so when he looks up and sees the three barrels, he doesn't question why Ace has one around his neck.
He drops a handful of berries onto his cloth, wiping his hands on his pants afterwards.]
Uh...yeah, I can help. What're we doing?

[He's not alone in that. The sun is a constant, steady source of proper mana, given it's heat, and she soaks it up. And normally she probably wouldn't bother Ace while he was napping, but...he's starting to snore. And that's making it hard for her to sleep too, so she rolls over onto her belly and pokes him.]
Oi. Ace, you're snoring.
Oi. Ace, you're snoring.
[A nod to that, standing now but looking down at the ducks.] You're right on that. It's nice to see the Princess smile like she has here.
[a small shrug. What, she's one of those on the 'watch' list. Ah, but it's the names that get his attention. He scowls a bit.] So it's effecting those aligned to the dark. [He's not too into that shit, but Natsuno is a vampire, so it would make sense. Chandra is a magic user, and not the holy kind. Thatch was... darkness (still a topic he didn't care for).]
[He himself was just dark harted in general, or so he felt. His mutation was natural back home though, the claws were not.] I'll keep an eye out for them.

I'm gonna. No point in leaving it unguarded.
[She rolls her eyes at him and leans over the railing, arching her back a bit.]
And, heh, sure. I may give it a go later. But right now, I don't think I feel up to dealing with it. Already off kilter enough being this close to the wellspring. Maybe once I get more ambient energy from it I'll feel less bleh.

[he raised a brow at that, looking at her resting on the bear like it was nothing. The animals around here were so very odd.]
I'm used to them being wild. Where I'm from they have to deal with humans too much. [a shrug, and he rubbed a hand over his scruffy jaw]
Ah, no. Not really untamed. [actually...] Not so much anymore at least. It's more like me spending a few years in the hills of Canada to escape. You run into some wild life there and ya deal with it. Never did like bear hunters.
