voice; can be action for the Spades

[streetferret]

Anyone know how to make gasoline or where I can get some? Aside from the Backwater Brig.

[Stuff's expensive there.]

I know it's unlikely, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway.

[Silence for a moment.]

The whole crew was on that island, it was one of the ports we stopped in months ago. And you and I are in the same crew unless you recently eloped from the Spades. We're even in the fucking same ship.

[Voice]

[streetferret]

Not since I joined the crew.

[Short, direct and unhappy. All the things that make him Mako.]

Months ago. Back in January when we sailed along the captain's brother's crew.

I just said that we had been there because you said "I'll ask around and see if anyone from the crew's been there". As if it was possible that only one of us had been there.

[Or as if he didn't know that Ikki and him were in the same crew. Which is possible since Ikki isn't the most social one anyway, but like hell he will use common sense on that.]

[Voice]

[streetferret]

I didn't know you were in the Spades. [Made even more possible by Mako being rather taciturn.] Turns out Ace has gasoline stored away.

[On a ship full of fire flingers. That tone in his voice is exactly what it sounds like. Mako pinching the bridge of his nose.]

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

You didn't? I would have never thought that if you didn't tell me.

[So much sarcasm, though besides it it's hard to say if Ikki cares at all. Mostly because he really doesn't.]

So I've heard. You don't sound very excited with the idea, you know. Shouldn't you be happy to have fuel for your vehicle?

[It's not as if there are any cons to having gasoline on board. The whole ship is already flammable enough by itself, there's literally no added risk that didn't exist before.]

[Voice]

[streetferret]

[All he needs. One more person that can't wait to throw sarcasm at his face. His life needs more of it really.]

Yeah. I should.

[But it's Mako. He's practically never happy.]

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

I hope you're just someone hard to please and not that you're worried about the gasoline being on board now.

[The first he could understand, the second, not at all.]

[Voice]

[streetferret]

I'm someone who just wants to find the shards and get home. [And his tone reflects his irritation. He's been done with this place since he woke up at the fountain.]

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

In case you have failed to notice that as well, you're not the only one who wants that. And if experience serves all you'll accomplish by stressing over that and being "so focused" will be to drive yourself mad.

[It's what is doing with him after all.]

[Voice]

[streetferret]

I’ll be fine. Thanks for the concern.

[He doesn’t have time for this. Yes, he does. Mako’s just being a jerk. So he closes the journal shut. He got what he needs to know.]
