dear_mun | on his birthday and a very weepy/nervous mun

O-oi... C'mon now, mun! Don't give me that face. You're the one who suddenly decided bringing me out on my birthday is a good idea. And you know, it's totally your fault you're almost out of time now. You've watched my past so often but you still cry over them. Geez... you're a worse crybaby than Luffy.

[Nope, not admitting seeing the happier times with his brothers makes his heart ache. And evil mun isn't even telling him if Ace and Luffy made it safely out of the fire, dammit. He just hopes they did and got his letter before he set out.]

Well, it's still my birthday wherever you are. You better have good plans for me at least, as a gift. And you know what I mean! I want to see Ace and Luffy again.

[Pause.] Wait, why are you making me choose between the Gate and that galleon? [He spent the days after the fire locked up in his room. Nothing special~~/horrible~~ happened. Besides his bid for freedom, of course. Unless...

Sense of dread? Check. Growing panic? Check....]

Oi. W-what's wrong with that ship? ... HEY! Stop crying, dammit!

It was meant to! [Okay, so he proooobably could've held back a bit. He's used to hitting guys who are all ten and twelve feet tall! But still, it's the kid's birthday, maybe he shouldn't hit him...]

No. He's just an old pineapple geezer and a creeper.

Oi. I heard that.

So Makino, huh?

[Yes, both your blond brothers are gonna tag team you on this Ace >:)]

[She may not be blond, but this is just too good to pass up.]

Oooh, I smell something saucy!

[Flattest stare ever he hates you both YOU ARE THE WORST FAMILY EVER.]

Neither of you even know her!!! I didn't, don't, and never will like her that way! She's a friend! And Marco, don't make me bring up Robin.

[He can tease right back.]

It's too painful for just teasing, asshole! [Yeah, you should've held back, Ace. Triple slightly smoking bumps on his head on his birthday sucks.

Then he sees Marco and just grins at Ace.] Do you want me to tell him all about her, or do you want to have the honor?

[Oh. And there's a girl. Who is this even. So far he's had bad experiences with females he encountered in this place. Very cautious now.] Eh, who're you? ...What smells saucy? There's only cake here.

[Saucy = food ok. He's not learned in girl vocabulary. :I]

[Thankfully, this girl's of the nicer variety, s long as you don't tick her off.

Norma grins and starts to snicker as she crouches down more to Sabo's height. My god, can she just take you home? ♥ You're just all tiny and cute, and that missing tooth is just killing her, too.

But what's this about cake? There's enough to go around right? Right?]

Name's Norma. Norma Beatty - I know that hotheaded idiot of a pirate over there and his featherheaded friend. [Pointing to the two pirates, yupyup.] We're in the same, uh...game or whatever Munny-bun calls it together. I'm no pirate like they are, but I'm a treasure hunter. I look for treasure on land, in ruins and caves and stuff. Who're you, though? Can't say I've heard anything about a little cutiepie like you before!

[Patting the top of that tophat.]

Tell me, Sabo, because Ace is probably too shy. [Pokes Ace's cheek.]

And go ahead Fireworks, no one here knows who that is, and it's pretty moot now. So nice try to blackmail me, but you'll have to do better than that.

[First things first. Sabo turns to Norma, and look, he's impressed at your introduction.] Treasure-hunting, huh? Me and Ace used to be in that business too. Ah, though I guess you can just call ours 'stealing'. I'm Sabo! Ace and Luffy are my brothers. Nice to meet ya, Norma!

[Oh, wait, sharing's good. He nods at the giant cake nearby.] Hey, have some cake, you two. Ace got it for me!

[And while you feed yourselves, Sabo settles on a convenient barrel nearby, nomming on his own piece.] So, Makino! She's a barmaid from Luffy's village, but she and the Mayor used to come up to visit us in the mountain. She'd cook lots of good food that aren't red meat, and she'd bring us new clothes too. Hmmm... You could say she's a really nice older sister to us. [Sneaks a look at Ace and snickers.] Ah, to Luffy and me, at least! Ace blushes all the time around her.

Barmaid, huh. And here I had him pegged for the milkmaid type.

[GRUMBLE GRUMBLE YOU ALL SUCK, OKAY. And fine, he's going to be honest here.]

She was the closest thing I had to a mom, okay? I was just happy.

[AND EVERYONE HERE KNOWS. THE MOM THING, OKAY.]

[Pauses nomming to look at you thoughtfully.]

... If you're going to put it that way, then that still puts us in the same boat, right? You, Luffy and me.

[He nods.] You guys are my family. Nothing's gonna change that.

[Snaps his fingers.] That's right, I think you did mention Makino before. She taught you manners, eh?

Well, I knew you didn't get them from Garp.

Right. But you're still the only one who blush all the time. [Nope, never letting you live that down.

At the mention of Garp though, he shivers.] The only thing we learned from that old man is pain. Lots of pain. And maybe how to run faster, too.

He always did strike me as a bit psychotic. Then again what do you expect from someone who chased Shakkey and Gold Roger all over the place?

Like I said, I'm not used to having a mother figure, okay?! We had Dadan and Gramps, do they really act like parents?!

[MAKINO WAS THE ONLY SANE ONE, GOSH.] Gramps is just frickin' crazy, the shitty old man.
