Homeless, voice testing like *whoa*

[ace_of_hearts]

Now this is familiar. I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised though. I've been gone for awhile and you usually prefer other people's takes on me, if I remember right. [Small laugh.] Not that I'm complaining, it's nice to stretch my limbs and get a little freedom.

Still, I have to wonder at your motivations. Missing someone with manners and a sleep disorder? Those really can't be the best reasons.

At least you're having fun trying to write an app, just make sure you're not being too rash about this. Only one of us gets to be the hothead around here, and I've got the fire to back it up, and you don't. Besides, weren't there other things you were planning to do?

And as for the screen name, I'm not sure anyone will get that reference. Vista doesn't count, his mun came up with it.

[Laughs and snuggles.] Okay, I'll let you in on a secret then. Me too.

[amethystsregret]

Really?!

[Puppy eyes up at you! Tail wags happily.]

When we see each other again, we need to celebrate with food, and lots of it!

[ace_of_hearts]

Sounds like a plan!! I'll try to learn how to conjure things. And if nothing else, Sanji will probably help.

[amethystsregret]

Yes! I never did get to try his cooking!

Mun! Hurry up!

[ace_of_hearts]

Wow! Never? You're in for a real treat man! He's one of the best!

[amethystsregret]

He must be as good as Tatsumi then...

I gotta try his food.

[ace_of_hearts]

Tatsumi's a good chef, huh?

[amethystsregret]

He likes to cook, especially if it means I won't be cooking. He has fine tastes, so he's really critical of his cooking. I guess it's only natural when he's got nobility in his blood.

[ace_of_hearts]

Huh. Go figure. I'm not sure it's really a nobility thing though. They don't usually cook for themselves. Much less others.

[amethystsregret]

Well, that's the thing. His mother was a noble, but she married for love and got disowned. He had to take care of her and the household for some reason though. I never did find out why...

That's why he's so stingy, and everything he has is fine quality.

[ace_of_hearts]

Ah, so it was something to do with his mother.

I guess I get it. [Except not really, but he'll take his word on it.]

[amethystsregret]

Yeah, if you ever get to meet him, he has a noble air about him. He also is a taskmaster...

[He sighed heavily, thinking about the Demon lord side of his special someone...]

[ace_of_hearts]

What kind of noble air?

[Vivi and Sabo = good, tenryuubito = very bad.]

[amethystsregret]

I dunno. I guess he kind of has this look about him that you just know he was meant to be more than just a working class guy. His eyes look kind of heavy, like you can see how much responsibility he holds himself to.

Does that help, or did you mean something else?

[ace_of_hearts]

Don't know. I didn't think nobility held themselves to responsibility. Most in my world don't. I mean Vivi was kind of extra determined, but everyone around Luffy was.

[amethystsregret]

Vivi would be the one I would compare him to. I remember talking with her back on the Grand Line. She was a leader, and she carried the responsibility of leadership. Tatsumi is like that. He's a strong leader, like a prince, and he carries himself with that kind of presence. I could tell Vivi wasn't just a pirate. I could see it in her eyes. Hm!

[ace_of_hearts]

You think so, huh? But what about Pops. He's a good leader, but he wasn't born that way.

[amethystsregret]

Pops isn't weighed down by that, is he? From how you've talked about him, he seems to just have his spark, if you get me.

Tatsumi... He... can get a little run down and sad because he takes things so seriously. You can see how much weighs on his mind in his eyes. He's never been able to hide it. It was because of that we had to stop being partners all those years ago...

[ace_of_hearts]

So because they don't have a choice in it, they don't like it?

[amethystsregret]

I don't think that's it... I don't know how to explain it. I just know that it takes a lot out of Tatsumi.

[ace_of_hearts]

I'll take your word on it.

And I think I get it a little better.

[amethystsregret]

Really? I know I suck at explaining things to you. I can't even begin to recall the times I've confused you since we met...

[ace_of_hearts]

[Laughs.] Sometimes, but I think that's more on me than you. A lot of people have trouble getting things through my skull.

[amethystsregret]

Unless it involves food because you speak that language pretty well, pal. Haha!

[ace_of_hearts]

[Giggles.] Can't blame a man for getting hungry.

Oh! Did I tell you? In this place you can conjure up food! Isn't that great?!
