Location: Quad, Marco/Grell's room, who knows where else.
Rating: PG +, never can tell with this family
Summary: Ace just arrived and needs to meet the rest of his wonderful family. That includes the rest of Garden too.

It had been a few crazy days to say the least. Ace had gone from a near death experience to being dragged through time and space to a completely new place unrelated to his own world. After take a few days to get rested up, learn the ropes of Garden, and enroll in classes he finally felt as though he could hold his own here.

So here he stood outside of his room waiting patiently for Marco to come along and get him. The blond had asked him to meet up with him so he could introduce him to the rest of the family. Ace had to admit it. He was curious about Marco's child. What would he be like and would he accept Ace as his uncle? He took a deep breath and leaned against the wall. Marco sure as hell better hurry up before he got bored of waiting and wandered off.

Marco shot her a wink.

Grell and him made a perfect team so far as Marco was concerned and no one could convince him otherwise. They filled in each other's weak points and made each other stronger. Together.

"Be you," Marco stuck his tongue out teasingly, but he was serious. "You're my secret Ace. I've got every faith that you'll just work your usual Ace magic and then I can be as lazy as I want." He shouldn't say things like that with so much pride.

"My Ace magic? You really want me to do that here? You usually give me a beat down for that?" He's totally being deadpan, after all he learned from the best, but he also knows what you meant. He just couldn't resist teasing him.

"Also...you said that with a bit too much pride. You being lazy never boded well in the past for us ya know. That's usually when Thatch and I did our worst."

Marco just arches an eyebrow in return, "Then don't expect me to bail you out this time," he deadpanned right back. It was a lie of course, Marco would always try to rescue the both of them form anything, even a war with the whole world.

"And I'm not sure what you think I meant by Ace magic, but keep your pants on, yoi." Ace, please, you can't out-deadpan the master.

Ace laughed and nodded. "Aye, I know what you meant. I'll do what I can to help for sure. Though I'm not sure that kid is willing. Then again, it's a challenge I accept."

Ace grinned widely at Marco. "Hey, is there anywhere we can get a snack? I'm hungry. I didn't get much to eat at breakfast and it's still to early for lunch."

"When aren't you hungry?" Marco stuck his tongue out mockingly, but nevertheless nodded. "Come on, I'll get you stuffed. Just don't eat too fast, eh? I doubt they fed you in prison." Actually, he was completely certain that they had not.

Marco was of course right, but that didn't mean Ace wanted to think about that place. It had not been able to break him, but that didn't mean it didn't leave scars. Oh well, that which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!

"Lead on my beautiful blue pigeon." Ace grinned as he shifted in place, anxious to get some food to eat.

Marco flicked Ace's forehead irritably. "Phoenix. Get it right, brat." Still he led him to the kitchens to get the kid some food. "One of our cooks, the cooking teacher is actually someone you'll probably get along well with, eh?"

"Best of friends if I have anything to say about it!" Ace smiled as he sat on a stool and waited for Marco to gather things. He really was starving and he could feel his mouth watering as several things were pulled out for him to eat and enjoy.
