[You will see Robin sitting in her bedroom, glancing at the journal. It could seem like it was accidental, as if she was reading something else]

Strange how it seems both quiet and crazy these days, ne?

[Much quieter than she likes. Much quieter than she's used to]

Tell me your stories. Any stories so long as they are true. I want to know what Luceti is like. I want to know who you are. It could be fun.

Comments

[toujoursfluer]

I'll hold you to it. [All the seriousness in her voice]

Can you die? How much of your phoenix aspect is a myth?

[fierybluebird]

I certainly hope so.

[Oh woman. He adores you truly, but that is not something he wants to reveal to anyone right now.] I could die permanently, yes. [By removing his devil fruit. A reason to very very seriously avoid Blackbeard and yet...]

As for separating truth and legend from myth and man, isn't that your job? What fun would it be if I just told you?

[toujoursfluer]

[Clever. And just a touch mysterious. There is a reason she likes you after all.]

Hmm. It will take intensive study. Are you sure you're up for it?

[fierybluebird]

[That gets an actual chuckle out of him.]

Are you?

[Why yes, he did just throw down the gauntlet.]

[toujoursfluer]

Of course. It's what I'm trained for. [She pushes her hair over her shoulder and gives you a long look]

So of course, I'll have to be thorough.

[fierybluebird]

[Whistles to himself a little.]

Do you prefer to start at the top or the bottom?

[toujoursfluer]

[Strangely, she likes that whistle. Even if though it's such a small thing. How curious]

What would be the fun if I told you? You'll just have to wait and see.

[fierybluebird]

[If she ever starts unlocking certain bird whistles he really will be completely helpless to her. Even more than he already is that is.]

I could hazard a guess, but aye, it'll be much more fun to see in action I have no doubt.

[toujoursfluer]

And what would you guess, Bird-chan?

[fierybluebird]

That you go straight to the middle.

[... Yup.]

[toujoursfluer]

Perhaps. Perhaps not. Who can say?

[And she whistles faintly back at him.]

[fierybluebird]

[Just flushes a little without explaining it.]

Ah... who indeed.

[Okay obviously flustered, at least for Marco.]

[toujoursfluer]

Something wrong?

[She's not completely clueless-- Something she said obviously affected him, but that kind of come back--or lack thereof--seems unusual for him]</small.

[fierybluebird]

[Shakes his head mutely, a little flushed still.]

I seem to have forgotten what we were talking about. Which is... unusual for me. I guess I lost my head due to the beautiful company, eh?

[toujoursfluer]

[It is unusual and he's being strangely candid about it. How odd]

Are you sick? [Or hiding something? She's faintly worried.]

[fierybluebird]

What? No. I'm fine.

Ahhh....

[Rubs the back of his neck and whistles something experimentally to her.]

[toujoursfluer]

[She cocks her head and whistles something experimentally back, trying to copy him. She's not sure what kind of game this is, but is willing to play along]

[fierybluebird]

[Shivers a little and laughs.] You have no idea what you're saying, right?

[toujoursfluer]

[She answers in a little coo she heard from some very happy bird not too long ago. Though the fact that the whistles had meaning hadn't occurred to her, this new facet of information should be most interesting to explore... And to mess with his head, of course. She can't resist.]

[fierybluebird]

Oi oi! You can't go parroting things like that!

People might think you're as easy as me, eh?

[........................]

[At least he acknowledges it???]

Here, if you're going to say that, do it like this. [Whistles back something a little sweeter.]

[toujoursfluer]

[She raises her eyebrows at him. She's a little miffed at the rebuke]

Is there anyone else that would understand it? What does it mean?

[She's not planning to use that whistle, at least for the time being, but memorizes it for later]

[fierybluebird]

All the birds would.

And if they're going to flock to you I might get jealous.

[...... yeah. There's... nothing more to add to that. He'd be jealous of birds... moving on.]

The one I just told you is something like, "I'm a lady, it takes more to impress me."

[toujoursfluer]

[Interesting. Though, that aside]

You'd be jealous of birds?

[fierybluebird]

Absolutely.

[Stated like this is perfectly normal...]

[toujoursfluer]

Why? I'm attracted to men, not birds, you know. Though your plumage is beautiful.
