Eh?! ...Roger? [...Okay, that? That's unexpected. Though maybe it really shouldn't be, since the Pirate King's the cause of most of Ace's issues. And Sabo hesitates to ask, because this topic has always been a taboo ever since they're kids. But since Ace's the one who brought it up--] ...What about him?

[hiken_ace]

[He stares at nothing for a little while, eventually sighing, and looking at the floor.] Shanks was on his crew. He... he told me things I never knew.

[His fists tighten as he clenches the sheets.] I don't think he's the kind of person I thought he was. I need time to... think about it all more. Reevaluate my opinion of him.

[sailedfirst]

[...Ah. Yeah, Sabo knows about Shanks being in Roger's crew already (blame Smoker's post). He'd thought Ace knew about it too but... Looks like he's wrong again.

He shakes his head and simply slings an arm (no matter how short his reach is) over Ace's shoulder. He may not know what words to give comfort here, but he can support whatever decision Ace's comes down to.]

...Well, you gotta do what you gotta do. We'll be waiting here. [Offers a faint grin.] Just make sure you come back here with crocodile meat, alright?

[hiken_ace]

[He smiles lightly in return, throwing his arm around Sabo's shoulders, too.] Thanks for understanding, Sabo. It makes me kinda glad someone can.

[He chuckles at the last part, though.] I'll see what I can do.

hi sis trying to post from my phone >>

[sailedfirst]

[Messing up your already messy hair.] Hey, there's no need for thanks here. It's the least I could do for you, y'know. Makes me wish I could do more useful stuff.

and you are succeeding!

[hiken_ace]

[jdfgndkjrg fine, doing the same to you.] Oi, oi, you do plenty just by being here. I still don't think you know how great it is to see you everyday.

yayyy! \o/

[sailedfirst]

[gosh Ace you have no originality, but yes flailing and laughing at the same time] Oh yeah?! Then you better start listing 'cause you're just a rude asshole to me everyday!

♥ how's the trip? did you manage to take a nap in the car?

[hiken_ace]

[He invented the hair ruffling, okay.] Look who I grew up with! You know that's how we tell each other we're glad to have you here!

fff exhausting! and I did-- for a few minutes OTL

[sailedfirst]

[Let's hope no one sues you for that!] Ahahaha, true enough! [Swallowing his laughs and putting on a serious face, though his eyes are still shiny with mischief.] Alright, listen up, you shitty bastard. I know you're having a tough time, but stick this to your damn head, asshole: I got your back. So you better come back here whole, you hear?! Don't make me kick your ass to shape up.

[He might seem like he's just playing around. But no, really, he means this whole-heartedly.]

I TOLD YOU TO SLEEP EARLIER

[hiken_ace]

[The sudden serious turn caught Ace by surprise, but he gave his brother a firm nod in return.] I will. If things get bad, I'm gonna high-tail it back here. I promise.

LIKE YOU LISTEN TO THAT?!

[sailedfirst]

[And he'll just burst out laughing, to, well-- to cover up just how serious he really is. And give you a noogie because he can.] What was that?! Did you just say you're gonna run from something?!

THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME

[hiken_ace]

[Ace would normally try to keep this serious, but oh well. He'll smile for the hell of it.] I meant if my condition gets worse or something. Besides, we all know I could handle a tiger or anything else like this.

WHY NOT?

[sailedfirst]

[Oh, good. Because there's been too much serious already. But, yeah ok, he can be serious about your well-being.] Ahh, then let me do some healing before you go. Your wounds are healing nicely, but another quick run might seal 'em up even better.

BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE TO GET UP IN 3 HOURS

[hiken_ace]

[... he is secretly glad he will be away from all this fussing, too.] That's all right with me. But don't overdo it, okay?

fff 2 and a half >>; BUT STILL FOLLOW YOUR OWN ADVICE OK

[sailedfirst]

Hah, who's fussing now? [Because even if he kinda fell unconscious from power drain once or thrice, he'd still like to push his limits whenever he can, you know. And you happen to be a perfect target.] Don't worry. I got this.

IT'S NO GOOD IF OTHER PEOPLE DON'T FOLLOW IT, THOUGH

[hiken_ace]

Oi, only because you always push yourself. [You get a pat on the shoulder, though.] I know you do. I've always trusted you tp.

I DO IT ALREADY, GEEZ

[sailedfirst]

[T-THAT DOESN'T MAKE HIM HAPPY, BASTA-- I mean :'D Yeah, just grinning happily at that.] Good. I'd have kicked your ass if you said otherwise!

NOT ALL THE TIME

[hiken_ace]

[HE KNOWS IT MAKES YOU HAPPY. And he laughs back at Sabo.] All you people wanna kick my ass. I'd like to see you try!

TELL THAT TO YOURSELF

[sailedfirst]

[SHOVES. Because you're a jerk!] Hah! You'll see! Your ass already has my boot-prints all over it!

HEY, I ALMOST ALWAYS GO TO BED AT A DECENT TIME

[hiken_ace]

[You are getting a noogie for that!] Oh, you think so, huh?

KEEP IT UP THEN!

[sailedfirst]

[Dodging, by rolling out of reach!] Yep, I sure do!

MAKE ME >:|

[hiken_ace]

[Nuh-uh, chasing after you.] Like hell you could!

DO IT YOURSELF >:[

[sailedfirst]

[Scrambling away! And hurling random stuff at your head.] You better believe it, bastard!

[and yes, this line is a homage to that blond shounen ninja kid with the same voice as him]

NO, I DON'T WANNA

[hiken_ace]

[Oh, he'll dodge that, and throw stuff back at you!] I'll believe it if I see it!

HAVE A GOOD REST ANYWAY /hugs!

[sailedfirst]

[Diving for cover, and chucking a dictionary at your general direction!] Hah, I'll learn that haki thing eventually! You devil fruit users are going down then!
