[Since Ace usually sleeps through the morning--and a bit of the afternoon--it should come as no surprise that this all comes late. Ace had been standing on the deck of the sun, groggily regarding the actual sun above and stretching out before he cleared his throat and scratched his neck.

Suddenly, the Sun and Moon were lodged still by a gigantic plateau of ice. Ace, staring out at it, pulled out his journal to speak softly to the crew.]

...Oi, who did that?

The ships're frozen.

[A pause. He reached out, trying to melt it. Instead, Ace stared blearily ahead of himself as he fired a wall of ice into the sea, hurling up a tidal wave away from both ships. The rain that came down on both ships could be heard.]

Who's messin' with me?

You need to chill out a little. [Oof.]

First off, I can't make ice. [Naesala didn't even say he did.]

[He finally turns to look in Ace's direction.

...slowly, as if to a child: ] Have you seen yourself?

[Ace reached over, sitting down on the ground, touching the back of his head with one hand. He began to lean aside to try and sleep.]

You're really actin' weird, Naesala.

Says the man sitting half-frozen on deck as his ships remain in an icy standstill? [What is wrong with everyone today.]

So what? I'm tired.

Anyway, go get rid of all that ice. [Naesala had fire powers, right? Wasn't he a black mage or something?]

[stares

pff yeah right] And what, pray tell, are you expecting me to do with all this?

I dunno. Smash it or melt it. Just don't use the salt.

[He added, anticipating Naesala to scoff or something.]

Oh, and don't make any weird noises like you don't appreciate my directions.

[Ace wasn't trying to be mean, but his weird frankness was making it easy.]

[Naesala couldn't care less about what Ace thought, but he settles for rolling his eyes.]

Yes, let me get right on that through sheer force of will. Do you really think my beak can crack this? [Not that he ever appreciates orders from humans, but this is ridiculous. Look around.] If you're the 'fire man', this should be more suited to your talents, not mine. I'm good, but I'm no mage.

I should have said you shouldn't do that thing. Where you... whatever. I forgot.

[Admittedly, Ace tried to look interested, but his pinky seemed magnetically drawn to his nostril.]

...Wait, sarcasm.

Nothing in the world would stop that, captain, least of all your laudably enthusiastic attempts otherwise.

[squints...at him. and his nose-picking.] I have half a mind to think you're doing this on purpose.

Hmmm. [Ace drifted off, looking away from Naesala. He rested his chin against his hand and shut his eyes.

He was beginning to fall asleep.]

We'll see if you're right... Tell you what, come back in ten minutes...

[ok fine bye Naesala gives up enjoy your damn nap]

[he'll probably wander begrudgingly back in fifteen, contemplating dumping water over Ace's head as a wake-up call]
