{Have some footsteps, and rustling like someone's moving about the apartment looking for something or someone.}

LUUUUFFYYYYY!! OOOooooooiii, WHERE THE HELL ARE YA!?

Shit, c'mon Luffy, stop playing around, where did you go? I -- {Sounds like he might have found something. Everything kinda goes quiet here. There's a soft noise, like the sound a wicker

[S-sort of hesitant due to recent events, but he's pretty sure that this means other things are on Ace's mind.]

...Ace-kun? Are you alright?

[Voice]

[dontcallmegol]

{Oooh yeah, lots of other things are on the pirates mind now.}

...I'll be fine. {It took a good bit for him not to say something snarky there. His tone is a little short.}

[Voice]

[brbmodernizing]

...He was your brother, correct?

[Voice]

[dontcallmegol]

Is. {He corrected sharply. Luffy would make it through.}

[Voice]

[brbmodernizing]

O-of course! Forgive me, I was simply.. ah, I mean, he left the city, didn't he?

[Voice]

[dontcallmegol]

{There's a soft sigh as he seems to get a-hold of himself and his voice is a little less like a knife.}

Yeah.

[Voice]

[brbmodernizing]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[He pauses. Normally he'd say "It's better that he's safe right?" or something, but with the clues from that post..]

Is it a difficult time for him back home?

[Voice]

[dontcallmegol]

Don't be, it's where he belongs.

{Even if it's going to be hell for the lanky boy.}

I imagine it will be one of the most difficult things he'll have to face. {Just like when they lost Sabo.}

[Voice]

[brbmodernizing]

I see..

[pause pause]

I do not wish to intrude. I simply wish to offer any assistance I could give. I understand that I cannot bring him back or change what he must deal with.. but, ah.. if you need anything, do not hesitate to ask.

{There's a bout of silence here. Boy, didn't this sounds somewhat familiar. There are so many spiteful things he could say, but in the end it's not Japan's fault. There'sno reason for him to be that way toward a man offering friendship.}

I need a drink. {He finally uttered, his voice losing it's edge entirely and almost sounding tired.}

[Voice]

[brbmodernizing]

[Awkward pausing goes here.]

Would you.. ah, I am not sure if you would prefer being alone.

...

But I could treat you to one, if you'd like.

[Voice]

[dontcallmegol]

... I wouldn't mind company.

Besides, what sort of pirate would I be if I turned down a free drink?

[Voice]

[brbmodernizing]

[hesitant hesitant. also not telling Seifer about this.]

Ah, I suppose you are right. Shall I meet you there?

...

I hope you do not mind if I bring a pet.

[Voice]

[dontcallmegol]

The Lights. I'd say give me an hour or so.

A pet? What kind of pet?

[Voice]

[brbmodernizing]

Very well, then.

Ah, a kitten. Greece-san gave her to me, and I cannot leave her here or Seifer-san will throw her out.

[Voice]

[dontcallmegol]

He'll what. {That jerk.}

I don't think Shinji has anything against pets, and a kitten isn't so bad. He's got a bat.
