Marco quickly set up a couple of kegs at the ready for the drinking party. Because it was just plain necessary, and a lot like old times. The last two weeks were still weighing on Marco's mind. War, Peace, phoenixes. Was it a good idea to really enjoy war so much? Was it a bad one? Maybe it was inevitable, so he might as well enjoy it. Like life, right? Or should he not encourage it just because it was amusing?

It was too much of a headache, that's why he was just going to drink.

He also set up some non-alcoholic drinks for Leanne and everyone else. Green tea, fruit juices, but they were all clearly marked.

Marco gave a quick piercing whistle. "OI SPADES! Roll call and drinking games!"

And maybe drunk board games, he would blame that on Ace though.

A shrug, "Everything is. You can drink something else for the game." He gestured to the teas and lemonades he'd set out. "That's why I brought extra things. Of course those were for the kids, but you too I suppose." Congratulations Mako, you've been demoted to kid-rank even lower than Roxas even though he's only one and a half.

Ouch, man.

Letting out a fairly irritated sigh, Mako pinched the bridge of his nose. Thank you for that, Marco. Something he’d be sure to remember and not care about. In most some ways he’s just as immature.

"And what are you drinking?"

[fierybluebird]

"Rum," Marco stuck his tongue out. "Sake is my Pops' drink of choice, so I usually save it for special occasions or the others. But rum is sweet enough to go with almost anything."

[streetferret]

There was a keg of the stuff, so he wasn’t too surprised on that answer. Taking care of Bolin’s tempered Mako’s tolerance, enough to not even bat an eye at the gesture. In fact, all Mako did was down at the drink and back up at Marco.

It wasn’t disapproval so much as indifference. The first mate was old enough to make his own choice, and really the only person Mako could even have any say over was his little brother. And even then, he wasn’t going to bail Bolin out of this one. This was a mistake he’d have to learn from on his own.

"I’ll stick with what I’ve got." He held the still steaming tea in the air. "It’s what I’m used to."

[fierybluebird]

"Sticking to what you know can be more comfortable," Marco gave a quiet birdlike head tilt, "But it won't ever expand your horizons."

[streetferret]

"Neither will rum."

So mature.

[fierybluebird]

"How do you know?" All the smirks.

[streetferret]

All Mako did was point his thumb over his shoulder at a plastered Namur trying to breakdance.

And then sip his tea.

[fierybluebird]

Marco waves a hand back and forth, "That's not from the rum. That's because he ha lady troubles. They want him enough to fight for him and he doesn't know how to handle that, yoi."

[streetferret]

"We're talking about the same guy, right?" Lady troubles are something Mako can understand, more than he'd like to. But yeah, he figured Marco was just putting him on.

[fierybluebird]

Marco arched an amused eyebrow and nodded. "The man has more sway with the ladies than I could ever hope to achieve." One hundred percent honesty here. "Back home he had a dozen girlfriends, but they were all on different islands and so it was never a problem." A shrug. "Check out the latest Scurvey Dog post for yourself, eh?"

[streetferret]

“No, thanks.” Last thing he wanted to do was get involved in someone else’s love life. His was a mess right now, and that was just with Korra. He was pretty sure Asami wasn’t going to forget what happened right after he got out of prison either.

And he couldn’t blame her one bit.

"Don’t tell me that’s why you’re doing this too."

[fierybluebird]

That's a tougher question Mako. With an even tougher answer. Marco's face goes a little too smooth and deadpan as soon as it's asked. As Ace would say, it was a sure sign that Marco was probably saving his meaner thoughts for a better time.

"Korra's seen war in your world, aye? What about you? How much of it would you say you've seen too much of?"

[streetferret]

Sudden change of topic wasn’t something Mako’s expecting, let alone having a question like that tossed at him. And Korra used as an example didn’t even let him take the time to think on the answer.

"I’ve seen as much as Korra has. We had each others back during the worst of it." Even if they were avoiding each other at the moment. "I wouldn’t really call the gang turf wars an actual war, but I’m not a big war person."
