[She snorts as he makes a mess out of himself, fighting back a peal of laughter.
She's only partly successful.]
Heh, you flailed into a barrel, silly. You okay?

*Selphie, on the other hand, seems to have been flourishing in this place. The peace has been welcome, and the way it has been able to soothe her, make her think more kindly of herself. Even Marco has noted that he hasn't seen her smile like this in a long time.
Today is no different as Selphie wanders the forest, playing and singing and talking to the animals. She has somehow gotten herself caught up in a game of chase, running away a small group of rabbits and squirrels. They kept running and running, but this time they were running in a beeline for Ikki. Selphie soon burst out after them from behind a copse of trees, giggling away. Then she realised they had stopped. The animals took one look at Ikki, sensed how he felt, and rushed off to safety.
Selphie meanwhile was left standing, flushed from all the running and, though she didn't look as happy as she did a moment ago, she was still smiling at Ikki from just a short distance away from him*
Hello, Ikki.

Hello, Ikki.
[His wings are enormous enough to completely encircle them when fully extended, and he does so. Hiding spot within a hiding spot. He graciously lets her lean into him, and savors the feeling of her hands brushing against his wings.]
Mm, well. Perhaps you were right about my influence. [a small chuckle as he takes this whole situation in] And I certainly can't argue with that.
[Not that he's partial to using them on her, of all people. ...On purpose.]
Let's...take it slow. Okay? I'm... [still a little uncomfortable? worried about you? really actually hoping this will work out??] ...I want to make sure this turns out alright.

Good. I can worry about the rest having enough brain power later.
You're on the Sun as well, correct? [Because he's been so great at interacting with the crew.]

[It may be one of the things, if not the only one, he's grateful for in this island. Animals, as less intelligent as they could be compared to humans, always proved a superior intelligence when it came to danger and to knowing where not to go or with whom not to mess with. He barely had to cast the pests a glance for them to rush off to safety, even if they weren't really in danger.
He will fulfill his part of the deal. He won't harm anything on this island. No matter how better that would make he feel, to wound this place the way it's wounding him with all it's purity, holyness and good intentions.
If only humans had half the brain animals did, then he wouldn't have Selphie standing there greeting him. He looks at her, wearing an expression he has wore before many times, though it used to be directed only to a goddess. Apathy. Total apathy on the front, lack of interested behind it and in the back of the room anger and disgust.]

[Fine. He can comply with that, can't he? Natsuno leans over the edge of the crow's nest, looking at the way down.
He just has to go.
He feels a tingle through his skin, a shiver down his spine. Warning that he better not get any closer. He grits his teeth and starts down slowly. Yeah. Laugh Toshio.
At the halfway point he lets go of the mast and lands his feet on the deck.
No, no, no his body seemed to scream at him and he glanced around quickly, before taking off for the stern. It's not quite as good as the crow's nest, but it's as good as it's going to get without him being in the water. He steps as far back against it and sits on the railing.]
Okay. I came down.
[Seriously. Shut up.]

*Far be it for Selphie to think that he'd actually give her a smile in return. But the complete lack of any feeling in his expression discomforts her, and she holds her hands near her stomach, twisting them together. Her smile has faltered somewhat, though it's still vaguely there, while her mind whirls through all sorts of thoughts and feelings*
Yes, I was. The animals are very peaceful here, and very friendly.
*She realises that she probably sounds somewhat formal here with this stilted conversation, her eyes flitting up to a nearby tree where a pair of small birds seems to be watching them*

[She smiles even more when he lets her lean against him, not really helping but to let out a few happy chirps at his whole reaction to her being so close.]
Of course I am right about that. [Shifting a little to get comfortable against him.]
Aye.... I can agree to that. [A brief thought.] Perhaps it will help if we can keep it hidden from our crewmates or keep it only a select few know.
[She nods her head against him.] I am sure that it will be alright.

[That explained the barrels, at least. Vyse huffs when Ace steals the berries, but at least half of what's there is going into the communal food stores anyway, so he doesn't do anything else besides that.]
Should I take one of those barrels? Or go get another one?

[Look he tried not to laugh, he really did, please believe him! But when Natsuno jumped down and ran across the ship he couldn't hold it back anymore. And he has to bend over, a hand clasped over his mouth as his shoulders shake.]
Oh man, fuck.
[Can't breathe! Help!]
Ahh....I'm sorry, don't kill me.
[He stops, panting for a while as he regains his breath. Damn he needed that though. But he also really didn't because now he was going to his knees. Ohhh...it was worth it but goddamn he's tired now. Whoo, loosing blood really made you dizzy.]
Give me a second.

[Naesala takes a moment for a deep breath and a chance to pull himself together. He removes his ponytail and slicks everything back again to redo it; once his arms are free, he lets them rest around Leanne. His chin is propped on top of her head.
Her being so happy about this makes him feel a little better.]
Not a problem. [He agrees whole-heartedly. Besides...secrets are kind of his thing.] If you say that...do you have specific people in mind?
[She...knows more people than he does. But he hopes Ace isn't on that list.]

[Roxas gives him a bright little grin, even if he can't see it.]
Hi Xifer! Did you come to swim with me?
[He reaches up to scratch at his feathers lightly.]
I don't have your sunflower seeds on me right now.
Hi Xifer! Did you come to swim with me?
[He reaches up to scratch at his feathers lightly.]
I don't have your sunflower seeds on me right now.
[He smiles brightly and waves back.]
Hi! Do you like swimming in the water?
Hi! Do you like swimming in the water?
[Roxas is just wading around knee deep in the cool fresh water.]
Are you going to come swimming with me Kairi?
Are you going to come swimming with me Kairi?
[Can you really blame him though?]
Hey!
[Roxas laughs a little, raises his arm and shoves Lea back properly.]

[Roxas laughs a little, raises his arm and shoves Lea back properly.]
[Killing Toshio would mean going back there, closer to the island.
Instead he will just glare the glare of doom at him.]

Everything here is. The island makes it be so, though I'm sure you already know and feel that.
[Marco had said that she was happier there, though Ikki's hardly surprised to see that happiness falters when in his presence. It's how their interactions went, even when he didn't do anything it would end ripping away whatever joy and happiness she was feeling.
Before it mattered to him and worried him. Now? Not so much.
He warned her several times before their brief time together. He warned her even while being together. He's not going to bother with warnings anymore, she should know better and if she doesn't. It's her damn problem, just like it was Athena's problem when she tried to step beyond her boundaries with him.]
Seems like this place is good for several people in the crew and not just Leanne and Naesala.
[It's also bad for several of them, of course. But he sincerely doubts any of the ones who can only feel the healing effect and give in to it without resistance would even care or understand.]

[She giggles again when he cuddles her and even though he may not see it, she is positively glowing with joy and happiness.
Maybe one day he will be just as happy as her one day.]
I am glad that you agree with me.... Probably only three myself. Selphie, Toshio and Zeff. [NEVER MARCO! As much as she loves the phoenix, he will never find out if she had a choice. If he knew that both ships will know within the day.]
Those are the only ones I think can keep this a secret.

[Yes, because he's never had that glare directed at him before, nope, never. After all they got along so brilliantly in the past.]
[He looks up and catches that glare, still smiling.]
Theirs the Natsuno I know.
[Eventually he does get up and makes his way over to the boy, not really afraid of what he's going to do.]
Okay, okay I'm done teasing you.
So let's talk.

[If Natsuno was the type of person to do something about it, he might have to worry, but fortunately that is not the case.]
I have a couple of questions for you but they can...wait for whenever is a good time.
[He's not sure he wants to know the answers, that's all.]
What did you want to talk about?

[ Wow, talk about this island's crazy-looking birds. They're just... birds. Like that's it.
Kidnapped by an evil ghost pirate and destined to be chased by the Navy or not, this whole 'sudden adventure' thing has been pretty cool. When she hangs down to start sniffing, Pabu will head for higher ground (or higher head) to rise to his hind legs and sniff in kind. Bolin's pretty content to stick to curious frowning on his part. ]
Man. How many animals am I not gonna recognize on this island?

Hm?
[Now that he knows Natsuno isn't going to kill him, he gets closer and leans against the railing, still dizzy and now feeling more of an effects from the blood loss.]
You should ask your questions, they may be on the same topic.
[And with that he takes out a cigarette and lights it up, taking a long drought before blowing it out and ruining the once pure air.]

[Zeff? Really? He almost says aloud. But the man doesn't seem like the gossiping sort, so he shrugs it off. Though he hasn't spoken to the other two she named, so they're her responsibility.]
Alright. I'll have to trust you, then. [Because it's not like he's close to anyone himself. Except...well, he'd agree. Marco must not find out.] It's a deal. Make sure no one squawks our secret.
[It's not that he's unhappy. He's just going to need to fully come to terms with this on his own time. But in the meantime, he's not going to drag Leanne down just because of his insecurities. So, he shakes his head, and tries to lighten his own mood.]
A man tries to play dead and his captor seduces him. What a world we live in.

It's just about my future. Well sort of. Your present. However you want to word it.
[He pauses.]
I just want to know if...what happened to my father. The Tanaka kids and Tohru's family. They were alive when I left, I guess I'd just like to know if they're okay.
[Relatively of course. He's aware his father completely cracked.]

[Yes, Zeff. He looks like he will be a trust-worthy type.]
I won't let you down. Zeff and Toshio I will trust to keep it quiet. Selphie, I may have to see if she can keep it a secret first before telling her....
[She giggles at his words, so proud of herself.] I cannot think of a better way to seduce the man. Didn't you say that I am quite the cunning villain.
