[Voice & Written]

[He's going to regret this later, but there's a bunch of excitedly high-pitched chirps like a bird singing a love song.]

[That's okay. It matches the background sounds.]

[But FAR more embarrassing is the scribbles he makes into the journal:]

[So someone has a case of Spring Fever. Or maybe just a fever.]

[And then in big bold colorful levels Marco makes sure to add:]

FREE FLOWER CROWNS FOR EVERYONE WHO SIGNS UP NOW.

[Yeah. He's kind of lost it.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Never would I ever~!

[A pause.]

Except I do. Sometimes.

[She feels so special if she knew that he was acting weird.]

Should I have enough green on the thorns to bring out your eyes, or will they be bloody?

My eyes or the thorns? [She isn't sure which he's referring to.]

[.... Why would her eyes be bloody?]

[Why wouldn't her eyes be bloody?]

[He has a headache already.]

Aye.

[Your call darling.]

[He can thank her later. Right now, she's giggling softly at how unsure he sounds.]

I think there should be an even amount. My eyes should stand out, naturally.

Aye. [Much more sure of himself this time, as he's already working on this thing.]

Now you just need the right formal occasion to wear it to.

[She sighs softly.] If only one were to pop up!. I'd love to show off the handiwork.

If I have a chance to provide one for you, I shall let you know, Gorgeous.

You're most kind. Don't keep me waiting~!

It's rude to keep a lovely lady waiting.

I prefer to think of it as whetting your appetite.

You're quite the tease. Usually that's my job.

I suppose you'll have to start beating me to the quick then, eh.

That's not all I'll beat.

How long will it take for those crowns? A queen can only rule for so long without one.

Patience.

There's a rhythm this island doesn't like disrupted.

How far away is your ship?

Patience is not a virtue I hold dear.

From Isla Empieza? Over a week's sail. Why? Planning a visit? Or something more?

[Since Marco could easily just come over via nav, so she's curious as to why he's even asking.]

So I know how long it will take a seagull.

[How anti-climatic!!]

It would have been nice for a more personal delivery, but perhaps that is the short comings of a free business.

[God. Grell, do you really want Marco coming over in person when he's batshit insane?]

Hmmmmm....

[HUMMING.]

[On the one hand if he goes, he gets off this motherfucking island and it's problems.]

[ON THE OTHER HAND:]

[He'll still have to come back and face it, and the whole point is trying to face it and conquer his ISSUES with it.]

I suppose I could promise a short visit in exchange for seeing your lovely face. But obviously I won't be able to make this offer for anyone else.

[Although he is kind of nervous going over there when he hasn't made possible "SAVE ME FROM THE CRAZY REDHEAD WITH SHARK TEETH" back up plans and when sent half of his brothers out on a mission.]

[But we are talking Marco all in crazy mode from double spring, forced serenity and flowers.]

[He's going.]

[And the danger makes it more fun.]

[That's right, Marco. Give into temptation. Grell will be there to serve it to you on a jewel encrusted platter with a not so subtle seasoning of danger. It'll be kept warm~!]

Obviously, because I'd be quite cross if you aren't giving me special attention.

Do let me know when you plan to drop in.

Got fifteen minutes and the Nav ready?

While I'm used to much longer, I have both at the ready.

I meant fifteen minutes for me to fly back to my ship carrying your crown.

How long I stay depends on other factors.

Ah~? Then my answer still stands.

I'll see if I can make it in ten.

[He makes it in fifteen, like he first said, but he does practically come tumbling out of the Nav, clearly having taken it at a run.]

Oi! Hello Bloody Roses! I have a delivery!

[At first, she's looking up at the sky for him, but when he pops out of the nav like that, she's definitely startled! Grell whacks him with her hat.]

STOP BLOODY YELLING! And what in Fates are you on?! Coming out of there like that!
