-- to admit - the tackle /did/ slightly hurt, but that didn't cause him to be mad at Naive Unconsidered Royal.] "Yeah? Well, I guess I missed you too."

[Stuffing his hands into his red jumper's pockets, he gave a small shrug of his shoulders in response to Naive Unconsidered Royal's question.] "Oh, you--

-- know, just busy." Naive Unconsidered Royal

[Now that Naive Unconsidered Royal had asked the question she'd asked, he rubbed the back of his neck as he thought about the things to say; he /had/ --

-- been busy with quite a lot.] "Just.. /stuff/, really. /Non/-safe stuff, by the way." Naive Unconsidered Royal

[Since Marco had /clearly/ made up the 'non-safe' business, he really hadn't planned a response to Naive Unconsidered Royal's latest question; he was --

-- definitely stuck.] "Well, you know, /dangerous/ type of things. Things even you wouldn't do!" Naive Unconsidered Royal

[@xStarVsEvilx wasn't the only person to be fooled by the size of the crab beyond the duo; he too had assumed the crab was a small one, yet-

-- it turned out to be a large one.] "Ah!! Wow, now /that's/ scary." @xStarVsEvilx

"Pft, yeah! In fact, it's /out of this world/. Literally." [In a prideful kind of manner, Marco folded his arms for Naive Unconsidered Royal to see.]

"Aeeeyahh!" [Marco lunged at the crab-like monster with a fighting expression painted upon his facials. He karate chopped -- @xStarVsEvilx

-- the enemy; resulting in the monster tumbling back.] @xStarVsEvilx

"Yep! And did I forget to mention? It's something even /you/ couldn't do!" Naive Unconsidered Royal

@Hero_Hiro_Hama // Sure thing!

[Watching as the monster collapsed in defeat, he grinned widely after witnessing what @xStarVsEvilx had done; used her magical wand once --

-- again. He rose his hand in order to high five @xStarVsEvilx, letting out a cheer of celebration.] "We did it, woo!"

"I know! I want to at least fight something /hard/. They're all weak!" [Chuckling softly as the high five between him and @xStarVsEvilx had-

-- ended, he looked out at their surroundings to find another sort of enemy.] @xStarVsEvilx

"Well, not really, I uh.. promised not to tell!" Naive Unconsidered Royal
