[Bad enough he'd been stabbed in the back by Blackbeard, his best friend killed, another destroyed, and then watches his own father murdered while he stood helpless; all for what? Power? And here somehow Teach was managing to find nakama again. Didn't they know? Of course they didn't. They weren't from his world. Sure the whole world knew now of at least half of the things Blackbeard did, but here what did that count for? People assumed it didn't apply to them. Just like he and his crew had once done.
Marco was in a foul (haha fowl) mood when stumbled into the apartment and instantly flomped on the floor in phoenix form. He missed his family, his nakama his brothers who would know how to handle it, or at least help him come up with something. He was just about determined to stay that way for several hours when he remembered that the night before, a certain red-head had decided on an invasion of his apartment. Fuck his life. Well whatever, it had taken him almost a whole month to even to decide to get an apartment because

[And you thought this one would be at the bar. WELL HE WAS but he started singing so obnoxiously let's just assume he was kindly asked to leave. Yes. Anywho he hadn't been here too long, but he had been here long enough to decide to bum off Marco... Which translated roughly to seeing what he was up to while normal boundaries like crews and oceans and business weren't in the way.
And long enough to notice things like missing pineapple heads at weird hours of the night. Taking the couple bottles of alcohol he had snagged from the bar, it didn't end up being too long before he found Marco.
Let's not ask how he found him, how he got up there or how he manages to sneak up on people, okay? He just does. SO WOOP, there he is. Grinning like always and holding up the bottles with his hand. Yes he can hold two bottles at once, it doesn't take a man who loves alcohol too long to learn how to hold bottlenecks between his fingers okay.]

[Hey. Just because he can drink that much doesn't mean he will. He's a friendly guy. Maybe too friendly, since he's helping himself to sitting right next to Marco.
He shifts his fingers to set one of the bottles near the phoenix and sets the other in front of him before opening it rather easily. He's resourceful where he wants to be, at least...]

[Stares at it suspiciously, cocks his head at it like a bird, and then tries to put his beak in, but the opening is too small for his beak. And rather than change back to human Fuck being human man, he refuses to share a species with Blackbeard right now Marco instead digs in Shanks' pockets for a straw.]
It's not poisoned is it? [Notice how he doesn't give a fuck and drinks it anyway. He believes in his regeneration powers more than trusting Shanks. Poor Shanks has the worst drinking partners.] Thanks. [Light nudges in brother way... with his talons. Which really ruins the effect, making it more like a bird testing to see if the tree branch will give way or support a lot of weight instead. Which, to be fair, is also a valid interpretation of Marco's state of mind.]

No more than it's supposed to be.
[A smirk. He doesn't really react to the pocket digging or even the... nudge of talons. What are you Marco. Nope, he just raises his own bottle and takes a swig. The "you're welcome" goes without saying.]

I like heights. [This much is true. And he tugs out a straw; AHA VICTORY! And wrestles with the paper wrapping for far too long, before finally get it it off and sticking the straw into the bottle. Pirates may not believe in straws, but birds do. Good enough.] How'd you know where to find me? [Sip.]
September 7th-ish after Jack thread / Action fierybluebirdSeptember 29 2011, 10:33:08 UTC
[Phoenix huffs and mentally grumbles. Stupid red-hair what does he know? He's not Marco's brothers... all 1600 of them. Maybe one of them told on him. No they wouldn't. And they aren't here to tell. Stupid sneaky smart red-hair.]
I'm not escaping anything. [Peers and stares at.] If I was doing that I'd go flying. [Which he hadn't meant to mention, but whatever. It was weird enough to him that he'd been found.] And there's nothing to escape. I can face my problems fine. I don't need you rescuing me. [The light talon nudge was a bit more a tap now, almost testing how hard he kick Shanks before he'd bruise.]
September 7th-ish after Jack thread / Action betmyarmSeptember 29 2011, 18:15:05 UTC
Okay.
[Though his tone is clearly not believing Marco. Yes, he does that on purpose. Besides, he's not going for rescuing. He just addressing an obvious issue... Nothing wrong with that, right? People need to learn things. From friends or enemies or frienemies.
Anyway he feels that tone will be enough for now, and takes a drink without even looking at Marco. Tap all you want.]

Hey, Marco! You're not coming inside?

No. [Of course just because he can doesn't mean he does. And he just eyes the bottles. Are they both for Shanks? Knowing this guy...]

It's common enough. Going higher to escape things.

Is there a story in that? [He hopes so. Tell him a story Shanks.]
