Aye.

How many are aged up--

[No wait, that would be harder to do. So it's probably vice versa.] Down?

[haruta_xii]

Down. [she repeated in a tone that said 'sorry'.]

I'm not sure of the numbers yet. Everyone keeps moving around. [she soothed her hand over his hair softly and said even softer.] You're one of them, Marco-bird.

[fierybluebird]

I know.

[Rubs the back of his head all flustered.]

I mean I do now. I'd have to be right?

You can't remember things that haven't happened, but you can forget things that have.

Don't worry about it, yoi. I guess I should apologize, but I won't. [Because he's stubborn and says so.] Is there anything important I ought to know?

[haruta_xii]

[she let out a deep sigh. This will make it easier, she thinks.]

Don't apologize, idiot. It's okay. Just know that everyone on these four ships is a friend. Try not to kick any of them off the boat, yeah? Some of them are brothers too, but I think you'll know most of them that are.

[fierypineapplebird]

[Sidelong trying to glance back up at her, which doesn't work, but finally he just nods.]

Okay.

But then I will trust you to find any infiltrators for the next few days.

[He's too suspicious of cowbird eggs or something. Which is ridiculous because none of them match, and they're all adopted anyway, but even so.]

When is Pops due back?

[haruta_xii]

I'll do my best. You trained me to do my best, bro.

[Only there was the Pops thing. Her hands tightened at his shoulders. It's still a touchy subject for her. One she doesn't want to talk about, or lie about]

Not sure. . .

[fierypineapplebird]

Okay. [Another frown....]

[But it'll be fine for now.]

[He ruffles Haruta's head.]

Did I really? I thought I couldn't train anyone.

[haruta_xii]

[Oh man, oh man, stop asking about Pops. You're going to break her heart, and she isn't sure she can handle telling him that Pops is... dead. Please, brother, don't ask no more.]

[she takes the head ruffling, holding onto him with dark frowns.]

Never said you were good at it. I also never said I payed good attention. You taught me how to get into the crows nest though, and how to get down without killing myself. It was a good start.

[fierypineapplebird]

[That actually gets a real laugh out of him.]

[And more head ruffles.]

Good job learning then, yoi.

I must be very proud of you, eh?

[haruta_xii]

[She's grinning now too, because hearing this version of Marco laugh feels nice. She never really appreciated it when she was the proper age to this era of Marco.]

Naw. Naw. I'm a pretty big disappointment. The worst brother you ever had. [the fact that she called herself brother meant she was one of them at least. And she was grinning wildly down at him in tease.] I steal all your girlfriends. It's a real pain, I'm sure.

[fierypineapplebird]

I get girlfriends?

[THIS IS LIKE.]

[WORLD SHATTERING NEWS TO HIM.]

[So he assumes you are just pulling his deadpan lying thing.]

Mah, well, I'm not surprised that you have more swagger.

[haruta_xii]

Marco! Marco... you're one of the most handsome brothers I have. You could have any girl or guy you wanted with a flash of that smile. My swagger is all fake. [she plopped another small tiny kiss to the top of his head, wanting to hug him forever. Stupid bird] Don't worry, bro. I'm nice now. I wont take your girls.

[fierypineapplebird]

I appreciate that.

[Head tilt.] Why do I have more than one?

[haruta_xii]

Why not?

[wait, oh, right... Marco is pretty into one person at a time, huh? Or, well.... kind of. Or... well, hmm. Why not?]

besides, they flock to you. Mostly because you're so awesome.
