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.
