[Man, you are really screwed, huh. He came closer, crouching to look at the ducks. He even stuck a finger out to rub the top of one, while talking to Marco]
And are any of them single mothers? I mean, there's room on the ship. Maybe you can bring the whole family.
[Alright, alright bro. He'll give you a break. Though he's still finger nuzzling chickies. Go figure. At least he's keeping the cigar to the side and away.]
It is pretty nice around here. Good home for them.
So... about that crisis... [he trailed off, just side glancing the other man]
[>:| Totally. He's Marco the motherfucking second in command to the strongest man in the world.]
[He will not be defeated by the cuteness of ducklings and the power of flower leis.]
[Speaking of which...]
[Have a lei, Logan.]
Spring. I hate Spring. My brothers are such asses about it too. Well, not Namur, but that's only because he doesn't like it either. Haruta was always the worst about it though. [He is SO distracted though.]
[Mmmhmm--wait. He blinked, brow raised and tilting his head enough to look at the lei that was suddenly graced to him. Well... that's new.]
[A sided long glance at Marco]
Never cared much for spring either. At least I don't think I ever cared for it. [a shrug] You go like this every spring? [like this was accented with a waving hand at him and... well his ducks]
I religiously try to avoid Spring Islands in Spring. Ever since the blackout bender I had with a chicken coop one time and Thatch still won't tell me the full story.
This island's even worse I think. Chandra said something about Law magic, I didn't really get it, but it's itchy.
[Also don't mind Marco... he's just going to flomp back into his phoenix state up to his eyes in flowers.]
[Also Marco is just gonna nom on one of those flowers gently.]
[Nom nom.]
[Okay switching back to human.]
[But he's still laying on his back up to his eyes in flowers.] It's the... spring... [Waves a hand a flower, trying to articulate words again.] Thing. Ask Leanne.
Oh no. I'm not asking. Sure as hell sounds like mating season for you bird brains. That's enough for me. [he said as he picked up a flower and flicked it at the man.]
[Shivers.] No, it's not just that... it's protecting the babies and making things grow and life and--
[Another headshake and he facepalms again.] I can't think straight like this.
If meat makes zoans more bloodthirsty, this place just fucks it all up. [Rubs his temples.] And Thatch doesn't get it either... he kinda does but it's messing with him too, and it's hard to fight, aye?
[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.
[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.]
[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.
[Another arm flex.] And I don't like the way it pushes... peace. I guess.
[Glances up at the forest around them.] Chandra said it was law, order, but also community. She's a chaos user so it's opposite what she's used to. Thatch and I... [Hand over his eye.] We're used to embracing the darker sides of piracy. Thatch even more. Thatch always tries to be... The one to do things like that so no one else has to, eh? But... [Shakes his head again, he's clearly rattled, and he sits down picking up a duckling.]
It's not.... [What was the word for it? Structure? Order? He only liked it in moderation. So in Thatch's case...] I think it's just a little overwhelming, eh.
[ALSO THE SPRING THING. MOSTLY THAT. But that's probably affecting him in ways that aren't touching anyone else because fuck them. SPRRRIIIIING.]
[Logan snorted to all that, shooting a darker look off into the anywhere. What he said made sense, he supposed. Thinking it over it made him frown a bit more.]
Noticed the forced peace crap. Now that you mention it. Feeling 'calm' isn't my natural state of being.
[he scrubbed a hand over his jaw and frowned deeply. He didn't even want to go hunting here. That shouldn't be hard to do.] Earlier it felt like two sides of me were fightin' but then I ran into something and just went with it.
[another shrug, scowling less. And god damn, sir bird brain. You are really weirdly cute with the ducks, and that's a calm Logan isn't okay with. Ug] Hopefully it doesn't effect too may others.
[he just stands there, smoking his cigar, staring at Marco cooing at a duckie. Some pirate you are.]
I seem to be doing alright enough. I'll... keep an eye out on the kids. And if you start... you know... mating, or something... [hand wave at] I'll see if someone else can drag your blue butt back to the ship. No sense is leaving hatchlings behind when we go.

I thought so, Also I just LOLed so loudly over that first line...
So it seems. [existential crisis that is. He was holding the smirk off his face at least]
No judgin' from me, bub.
[a tip of his head to indicate the.... um, bath of babies] Yours? [he KNOWS you can't hatch a duck--damn he's smirking...]
XDDDDD had to be done
[Pets their fuzzy wuzzy kawaii abubububbu heads.] I'm just giving their mothers a break for a bit.
[Duck fathers tend to be assholes so at least Marco can be a responsible Uncle Phoenix---]
[Help him snap out of this.]

[nope. He'll be an ass for a moment]
1/2
[Ducky ducky ducky ducky...]
[He's so losing it.]
2/2
Besides, it's better for them here. Lots of everything they need.
[THIS IS NOT HELPING HIS CASE.]

And note to self. Talk to Thatch about the chicken coop incident. [oh was that outloud---hello phoenix state. Please no sparkles]

I'm just messing with you. I might not get it like you do, but I can feel it. Don't care much for it. But it doesn't bother me.
[honestly, he didn't spend a hour just chilling with a bear all motherly---er fatherly or anything. Actually, it was just chilling, thanks]
[pause...] thatch isn't making flower leis too, is he?
no subject

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.

Not exactly. Naesala's doing better here too.

I'm not sure about Asami and Mako and Korra, given how Chandra is... but it might be right up their alley.
[Tickles the duckling under the chin >:3 quack quack quack.]

Fortunately there aren't any other phoenixes around so I doubt you have to worry.
[WELL He has no idea how much of an idiot he'd act around Robin right now, but he also doesn't intend to find out.]
