[he wrestles a bit against the poking but only half-heartly. He won't say it out loud but... Somehow it feels nice when Marco does that, when he treats him that way.
But then he listens as Marco goes on about what happened and what he did. And Ikki raises an eyebrow at all that.]
I can's say I don't see why you would freak out like that, at least.
Whaaat? I can't brag about having a sparkling pineapple brother? What will I do with my life now?
[Excuse the sarcasm, Marco. But Ikki just doesn't feel at all surprised that he should be careful regarding bragging about his allegiances... And he doesn't really care about what the rest of the world thinks anyway. If he feels like bragging about that and someone has a problem with that, the problem is theirs alone. And if they bring it to him... He will gladly make it a real problem for them.
But really, he has no intention of bragging. He had no intention of even really socializing if not because you dropped from the sky and the smartphone decided to record him on its own. As for the rest...]
You know... Part of me worried a bit about being a control maniac or something for how I always try to know where Leanne is, what she's doing and with who she is. But hearing you say all that makes me think that I should do it even more.
[At least he would have a general idea about when she went missing or where she was, and so on. But he isn't going to fault Marco for that either, maybe he would have made the same mistakes.]
Hell, I had started to think that maybe I was worrying too much about those things, that I should relax a bit. And now I come here and all this happened to you... It's like somehow everything was planned. So that you would have me here before you slip further on. So that I learn of the dangers of relaxing back and taking things for granted just because my wife has a long life ahead of her.
[He headbutts Marco lightly, almost playfully.]
Being outside of all that sounds as if it suits you better, anyway. And it may help for you to actually be better informed. Don't know what I could do to help but you can count with me too.
