[Seeing his family again was great, but it also reminds Marco just how much he misses them, which is getting to be a bit too much a theme. So he's ignoring all of it and spending a lazy day hanging out in phoenix form, reading and listening to music. And when he's sure Toby's up, looking for him thanks to a mysterious message. Anyways, there's a

Dad.

[And there's the little red-eyed kid, gently tugging on one of the feathers.]

[fierybluebird]

[Switches back to human, but with a wing around Toby's shoulders.] What's up kiddo?

[heartcorrupt]

Um... can I talk to you about something private?

[fierybluebird]

Of course. Talk away, eh.

[fierybluebird]

[The bird cocks its head to the side. Those aren't names he's heard around here. He spreads his wings though and chirps. Tada. All phoenix. Blue or not.]

[fierybluebird]

[Tilts head to the side curiously. Then how would he know what color phoenixes should be?]

[Grell is in the quad, writing in her diary about her trip to Marco's home! Exclusive details about charming men with flowers and...giants. Sighs and wonders where Marco went.]

I should check on Toby, too.

[heartcorrupt]

I'm okay.

[The ninja is still a ninja.]

[redcinemareel]

[WHAT IN HADES IS WRONG WITH YOU?! Grell just jumped a few inches away from Toby. Luckily she doesn't have a heartbeat.]

I'm glad. [Calms down and pats a spot next to her] Where have you been? [Pauses] Perhaps I should answer that question. [Giggles]

[heartcorrupt]

[HE DOESN'T KNOW HE DOES IT OKAY. Have a slight laugh though.]

I haven't really left my room much.

[Link's eyes widen as he spots an (awesome!) large firey bird! It kinda looks like a monster, but he's pretty sure a monster wouldn't be in this part of the Garden... right?

He's gonna come and look closer! Hopefully it won't make a horrible "KROWAAARK" noise and attack him.]

[fierybluebird]

[It makes a horrible KROWWAAARK noise and attacks.

NO NOT REALLY.

It's just chilling out.]

[balladofgales]

[Approaching from behind, Link tries to ninja-tiptoe on over and... attempt to pick him up.

Why?

...well, y'know. If he jumps with off a high thing, maybe it'll take him flying!]

[fierybluebird]

[Well... that's a first. The phoenix just STARES deadpan at the blond. Sure he's been picked up in bird form before, but only by his brothers who already know him.] Kree? [DEADPAN PHOENIX STARE.]

[Espio is wandering about, a crime novel tucked under his arm as he's off to sit somewhere semi-isolated. He needs to go chill out - he really didn't need to know what that poor blonde girl was destined for, and it's made his head fuzzy.

Spotting Marco, though, he'll at least say hi.]

Yo.

[fierybluebird]

Chirp! [Waves a wing.]

[turnip_rage]

Anything weird happen to you, too?

[fierybluebird]

[Switches back to human.]

Define "weird." [Valid question since Tobias was going to confess.]
