Ask him about growing up in the wild.
When his little brother says he wants to taste me, I take him at his word.
For a reason.
That and he's licked me and I'm pretty sure one day I'll wake up with my head in his mouth and Ace won't help me at all because he'll just be like, "What's it matter Marco, you regenerate. You should let me try too."
And they think some zoans are carnivorous. Hah.

Sorry to hear that. But I'm not terribly partial to other world's conflicts. Hopefully we won't have problems.
[Hopefully.]
[Hopefully.]
I thought you weren't beorc? [smile] Don't worry about it, regardless. As I can see so far, there's little reason here for conflict to come up.
[Doesn't mean he can't be a jerk now and then, but he'd never be so stupid as to start anything on that reason alone.]

I'm not, but that doesn't mean I don't look like one.
[She shrugs.]
And no, not really. I just want things out in the open. I have a temper, and I recognize that I have one. It's better if I have a clear idea of situations before it gets set off.
[She shrugs.]

[Here he thought the two of them couldn't get any stupider. Silly him.]
So when Luffy said you taste like pineapple, he was correct? [you know what nevermind] ...Erm. Right. You're on your own. I think I'd rather try and steer clear of their idiocy entirely and leave with my feathers thoroughly un-licked.
[really though] But if he does anything to this island, all bets are off.

That is fair.
Okay.
One step at a time.
[One.]
[Two.]
[Three.]
[Nom a flower.]

Well, we won't have a problem based on species, is what I meant. But it's a nice warning, if you really feel you have to make it.
[Whether or not that's what she meant it as. He just gives a shrug of his own. Her temperament, her problem.]

[Shifty eyes.]
Would you, please?
[At least it's almost a tradition with him. He usually rides out on Thatch or Whitebeard's shoulder so, good enough.]

[At least it's almost a tradition with him. He usually rides out on Thatch or Whitebeard's shoulder so, good enough.]
Aye!
[Chirps and cranes his neck, stretching it out so Thatch can have at. Though he still leans his head on top of Thatch's and finishes that braid carefully.]
Of the dark, you mean, eh.
[Wow. It's like he has a big mouth like this too. He doesn't like it. And literally makes a chiding sound at himself and wraps both wings around Thatch in a stubborn hug.] But I don't care, yoi. You're all mine and I'm not going to let the island push you. It has to go through me first!
[Trills and then growls at the forest, like the trees themselves are actively listening and acting.]
[Also more preening for Thatch.] It's pushing me too, brother. [It's important. That Thatch knows that. That it's not just Thatch. That it's both of them. That it's--]
[His voice drops quietly.] I'm glad you ate your devil fruit. I didn't think I would be. But now we're still the same even when we're different.
[He buries his head into Thatch's hair, folds his wings back up and stubbornly leans on the other man.] And I missed you.

(Okay, Leanne is out right laughing at his fail attempts before reaching over to brush his hair out of his face, still laughing quite a bit.)
I am not one to lie.... I just happen to know how to get my way with you. (Once more attempting to look evil now.) And it has worked as I now have the mighty Raven king in my grasp. (Attempting evil laughter here. So evil now.)

It's the same one I give everyone. But...whatever.
[She shrugs again and starts walking forward onto the sand.]
Enjoy the forest, Naesala. I won't keep you further.

[while it's a relief to know that he's not alone in this, it doesn't make him feel much better-- and he notices Marco is more open than usual, even with him. It's all push and pull and push and pull and he's focusing on trying to keep it all the way the hell from him to notice too much more than what Marco is doing]
At least someone is.
[he doesn't regret it. Not exactly. He had to do it to keep people safe and so he did it and he would do it again. But...]
Miss the water sometimes, though.
[and he begins to sing whistle softly]
Mother sea, carry me, you are so blue
Oceans wide, waves so high, carry me to adventure
I long to be with you,
Until my journey's end,
Please say, please say you'll never leave me.

And have a good time as well, Chandra. [Or don't, in all probability! No skin off his nose.
He ascends, turning once to give a mock salute as a goodbye, and flies clean into the forest.]

I accidentally crack the earth underneath you. Or...I accidentally burn down the forest. Or I alter the mana lattices under the island. Or I disrupt your ability, and cause something bad to happen.
[She banishes the balls of light and gives him a fairly serious look.]
I've never worked with this energy before. I don't know what it can do, but...I know it can take away powers. That's why I'm taking it slow.
[She looks rather grave, not kidding around about that. She's...had experience.]

[Lightly nips Thatch's ear in thought.]
[He never really could swim, so he doesn't know what it's like to miss it. And given the sky instead? He can't imagine wanting anything else.]
[Besides. Water is wet.]
[Blech.]
Have Namur take you swimming sometime.
And I'll take you flying.
And you can take me into darkness.
[He shuffles on Thatch's shoulder and thinks hard. It's hard to think. Everything deeper is closer to the surface, and he can't even push it away.]

[Naesala reaches down and does so - those flames are still weird as hell - but does end up letting Marco perch on his shoulder. Not that his are especially wide, but it's as close as he can come to "carrying" without getting awkward about it.
Don't make a break for it, Marco. Don't make him tackle you mid-air.
He hovers up, slowly beginning to leave the flowery clearing.] There, there. You'll be out of the forest's grip soon enough.

Thank you.
[You are the best crow king friend bffle ever and he will never forget you ever.]
[Especially if you slightly pretend to ignore his totally not manly blush.]
[It's a trying last four days.]
[Not helped that Marco hasn't slept once.]
[He needs his sleep to stay sane.]
[Who knew.]

[He'd thank her if he wasn't currently being held captive.]
Yes, you do. You're the only one who knows my weakness, and now I'm not sure I can trust you with it. Listen to yourself! [Faking a sad look; failing because he's too busy laughing at her attempts, per usual.] What a shame it's come to this.
[Leanne, you're dangerously edging close to innuendo territory there.]

[he thinks hard, too. He knows on a lot of levels he's just being a brat. Someone who wants what he can't have. What's annoying is it's the island reminding him of it. Pushing. Like a siren trying to get him to open. But if it all flows free...
he shudders involuntarily and pulls Marco into his arms because yes he's cuddling deal with it. He gives the bird lovings to distract himself.]
Nay. Not darkness. You know enough of it, old friend.
[because really, and he will concede this much--only this much]
I will take you across the sea.
{Marco can take himself, of course, he can navigate or fly but there is something about a ship. Wind and waves and sail and nakama. He can't bring nakama. That is Ace's field. But at the very least he can protect it. Preserve it. Direct it.]
Sea and sky, night and day, aye?
[Namur, Marco, Thatch and Ace. As it should be.]

[he knows the look and the sober mood annoys him...though he isn't sure if it's the island or himself or a mix of everything.]
Bah. [He's not really annoyed at her and calls the darkness back to himself as he tries to compose his face. The most he manages is a somewhat tired smile]
Would you care to take a jaunt around the shore in the Little Dipper?
[they have a sail boat after all. may as well use it]
