[Marco is in one hell of a mood. Not that he generally shows it. Oh no, by day, he's cool as a cucumber. Typical Marco deadpan. But he's not cracking a lot of jokes or smiling as much as usual either. Then again, he's working hard on getting all his teaching certifications done with so he can prove that off-worlders don't need special exceptions and can still do better than anyone else. On top of tutoring, and taking every mission he can.]

[By nights though, after curfew when he figures the training center or other areas will be less empty, Marco actually boxes things. And to anyone who knows the phoenix man, that alone should raise alarms. Marco doesn't box. Marco kicks. He uses wings, he is flashy, and he is sassy, and sometimes he's angry as hell, but even then he kicks. He does not use his fists.]

[His ears catch the attention of someone behind him and he shoots a glare before he even figures out who it is.] Scram already, eh!

Actually.

No.

[TIGHT HUG FOR ESPIO.]

[espio]

[That doesn't mean he understands the point of ruffling it!]

Augh!

What? What? Warn me before you try and break bones, okay?!

[fierybluebird]

[SNUGGLES!] Just stay with me for a bit, eh? There's a reason I made you a brother.

[espio]

What, so you can squish me to death?!

Fine! Fine, but if we get eaten by a T-Rexaur, I blame you!

[fierybluebird]

Aye.

[RUFFLES HIS HEAD.] I miss my family less with you here, eh?

[espio]

[Hmm. Espio's not sure how to answer that, since "thanks" sounds awkward, and he's not about to go into his "family" at home given, well, angstfest. So he just tries to whack Marco's hand away (again) and mumbles something.]

Well, that's something.

[fierybluebird]

A big something, eh. [Snuggles around and drinks tea.]

[espio]

Heh.

[Uses the tea he has to water a nearby plant.]

At least someone appreciates me!

[fierybluebird]

[Arches an eyebrow at the tea watering. Oi. That plant can't drink delicious tea you know.]

I'm sure plenty around here appreciate you little matey. But they don't express it the way I do for the same reason you don't express such sentiments, eh.
