[Well, well. If that wasn't a familiar voice. She was still growing accustomed to the fact that he wasn't as chipper as advertised, but my, he was gallant.]

You may, Mr. Marco.

[Kodachi sank into a graceful curtsy, peering up at him from lowered lashes.]

I should have perhaps worn the flower crown you gave me. I'm keeping it fresh; I do have a way with flowers, if I may say so myself.

[Grins as he leads her out to the dance floor.]

As expected from someone with the name of Black Rose, eh? It's probably just as well though, not too many of the noblewoman wear real flowers these days.

just got off hiatus and ready to tag once more! o/

A pity, I think. I believe that a woman of repute such as myself would know their horticulture.

[She slipped her hand into his and smiled up at him ever-so-daintily as she moved into position for a dance. Kodachi then flawlessly moved into the steps of the waltz, as though she was born to dance - which, in fact, she probably was.]

Do you dance often, Mr. Marco?
fierybluebird: (loosening the tie)

\o/

They ought to, but such nature is often viewed as more common among farmers or workers than the leisure class, sadly.

[And Marco is relieved. Even dancing with Robin, she was so on guard thanks to the navy around them. Kodachi, on the other hand truly seems to be enjoying the dance for the sake of the dance.]

Unfortunately I rarely have much opportunity for it at sea. And even more rarely do I have such an experienced partner. One could easily take you for a professional dancer, Miss Kodachi.
cherrybombpie: (she's walking over to me)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-05-12 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Indeed, she was. Life just wasn't right without dance, as far as she was concerned. In fact, she danced everyday; she danced when she cooked, when she prowled the ship's masts, when she did her laundry, and so on, and so forth.]

You flatter me, Mr. Marco.

[Kodachi let out a trill of laughter, twirling around gracefully in his arms.]

How long have you been a sailor?
fierybluebird: (fond grin)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2014-05-12 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh goodness... [A small laugh.] Don't ask that, the truth will make me feel old enough to be your grandfather. [Because he is.]

Let's just say a long time, aye?

[He certainly aged well. No one would think he was an old gramps.]

What is it that you love about the sea?
fierybluebird: (sexy)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2014-05-12 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Everything.

Freedom.

Nakama.

You want to really see the world, or at least the sea at her best someday, ask Ace to take you out on his skiff. That's how you can really know that you're alive.
cherrybombpie: (baby with me)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-05-12 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Kodachi smiled, gliding across the floor in silence as she thought about everything that he said.]

You seem to mention Mr. Ace a lot.

[She agreed with everything Mr. Marco had said, but this was a good time to point out that he kept mentioning Ace to her.]
fierybluebird: (brb blushing forever)

[Woops.]

[The quickest way to take Marco off guard.]

[He actually practically chirps in his surprise.]


Ah, do I?
fierybluebird: (moe pirate)

2/2

[He focuses on a spin to try to distract her and buy himself some time.]

Well, he is my brother and captain after all, eh?

[And he totally isn't trying to help Ace out, nope. Not at all.]
cherrybombpie: (just a teenage dirtbag)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-05-12 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She took it in stride as he spun her around, and then . . .]

Hmm. You seem quite flustered.

Are you in love with him?
fierybluebird: (Throw your head back and laugh)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2014-05-12 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
What? [That got Marco laughing. Quite a bit.] He's my brother.

And no, I have a girl I'm interested in.

You don't look like him. Is that in a figurative sense?

[Kodachi was nonplussed by his amusement.]

Oh? Tell me about her. What is she like?
fierybluebird: (fond grin)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2014-05-12 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
We have the same father, who adopted me a long time ago.

She's a bit like you, actually. Graceful, loves flowers, dark-haired, and completely brilliant.
cherrybombpie: (she's ever been told)

[personal profile] cherrybombpie 2014-05-13 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see! How nice.

[Kodachi positively beamed at him. It must've been fun to have siblings like Mr. Ace and Mr. Luffy. She absolutely loved her brother, despite the fact that he was - to put it honestly - a pain in the ass.]

Is that so? We should probably be friends.
