Just like the intent behind my fist, your words should only have the intent to defend our crew, Marco. So, if you're insulting, I know it's because you love us.

The only insults I worry about are the ones you aren't sayin', anyway.

[It was more so an inward jab at himself. Ace wasn't sure he'd thoroughly won over Marco yet--even then.]
