Do you really have to encourage him? {He's a little butt hurt here okay.}

[fierybluebird]

Ace, do you really think he needs encouragement?

[fierybluebird]

Besides, read between the lines. He doesn't want you worrying anymore than the rest of us do.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

No. But that's what you're doing.

... yeah right.

[fierybluebird]

Freckles, why must you always assume the worst?

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

Oh, c'mon, I don't always assume the worst. {Just, more so than usual since he's been in Discedo or ya know, DIED at home. That kinda shit puts a damper on your positive outlook of things.}

Did you seriously forget about who we're talking about here? The kid hates me.

[fierybluebird]

Just of Eridan.

You don't really know him. How much did you start off hating Pops?

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

{Snarling.} Don't you dare compare him to pops.

{Calming down. Sorry, he's just fired up today.} It's not the same. Not at all.

I was young and stupid then. Pops didn't try to kill me. Pops accepted me no matter what.

Eridan has proven time and again that he doesn't give a fuck about me. He doesn't know me at all or understand. Isn't this shit clear enough to you? All I see is another damn post to mock me and piss me off. {Clearly he hasn't gotten to the point in their conversation where Eridan finally shows he cares a little.}

[fierybluebird]

Freckles. I was comparing him to you. To you Wildfire.

He's still in his young growly faze. He comes from a world where everyone hated him, most people wanted him dead, and he had to fight for survival, all while watching his friends disappear one by one. Does that sound remotely familiar to you? Take a less combative stance with him. I told you before, he can feed himself, but Japan makes him sandwiches for the same reason I made you chowder back then. You didn't want it, and you could get your own food, but that wasn't the point then, and it's the same thing here.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

Wh-what? {Not sure how to feel about this...}

[fierybluebird]

You don't know him as well as you think. No one's shown him much kindness or love. Can you imagine what you would have been like without Luffy?

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

It wasn't just Luffy that had been there for me from the beginning and I've never...EVER turned my back on my brothers. That's what sets me apart from him.

Eridan? The way he treats Tavros or anyone else. It's unforgivable. I don't trust him.

He has people that cares for him and he throws it back in their face. Have you forgotten the fact that he thinks himself superior? He was going to commit genocide of those with a lower blood type. {He revealed this a long time ago to Ace, damn near spoke proudly of it.}

Sounds like he's closer to the tennryubito to me. Treating "low bloods" like trash. His sob story doesn't add up.

[fierybluebird]

Tch. You're still too young Ace. It's more like Fisher Tiger and his crew. If Jinbei was here...

I'm not saying he's a saint, but if you think he doesn't care whatsoever about his 11 remaining siblings, you're mistaken. And don't trust him if you don't want to, but he wasn't the one that broke Tavros' legs. He's not a tenryuubito, maybe you should give him more credit before you jump to that kind of conclusion, eh.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

Conclusions? He told me this shit himself. I'm not going to ignore threats of genocide! Shit he was so damn quick to sacrifice and orphen other trolls too.

I'm not questioning how he feels about the ones that survived but I've seen enough. He's gotto prove himself. Feel free to turn a blind eye to his bullshit if you want Marco. I'm not going to stop you, but there's no way I'm accepting this kid because you say so.

[fierybluebird]

That's not what I was asking for Ace. Just give him a chance to try at least, eh.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

I am. But it's more than he deserves. {At least in his mind. But he's going off of his experience with the kid so...}

[fierybluebird]

Is that how you think Pops would feel about it?

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

...

I'm not pops either.

[fierybluebird]

That's not what I asked.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

Pops isn't here. {It felt wrong to say something like that, he knew what Marco was doing but...}

The fact still stands, I'm not him. I won't be so easily swayed. I made this mistake once and it cost way too much. I'm not doing it again.

[fierybluebird]

[Dark face right from that first line.]

[fierybluebird]

[Coldly furious tone.]

Our mistake Ace. We were all in it together, and if you were fooled, we were as well, he was our nakama for decades. [Before Ace was even born really.] Do you think there was something we could have done? That it should be something Pops regretted? He didn't. He'd do it all over again. And do you know why? Because he'd rather give trust to kids like you than be afraid of something like that.

Don't trust Eridan until you're ready, but don't compare him to Teach ever again. You've been burned, but do you think you can protect yourself by hiding from it forever?

Eridan's saved my life several times. Even now he's trying to help you and worried about you, and you're too blind to see it.

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

{Snarling right back.} No shit we all did, or I wouldn't even be questioning your judgement.

Teach was one of us. We thought he fucking cared too. How long did he sail with us? Fight along side us? Drink, laugh and carry on just like anyone else?

... he plays favorites... {His argument was crumbling but he didn't have anything else to say. He said he'd give him a chance but it was a slim one, he wasn't going to pretend it would be easy. He couldn't accept it.}

I never asked him to give a damn about me. He never did before and I don't see why he should start now.

[fierybluebird]

Because he's growing up. Wish I could say the same for more people here.

Why don't you ask him why he didn't go through the troll genocide?

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

{oohh... low blow.}

I'm not discussing this. As far as I can tell, he didn't get the chance cause his world was wiped out. {Yeah he's heard the sob story. And he'll admit that it sucks but still...}
