"MR AAACEEEE MR ACEEEEE ! DOCTORS? scientists? GA NE? WHAT IS ALL THIS TALKING ABOUT AAAAACEEEEE? GA NE?" The artist comes running while screaming, almost not stopping by the pirate and clumsy slippering past him. Overreacting expression of worry and lack of breath as he stops to recover it. Throwing a first aid kit together with other boxes in the floor. "WHY?? ARE YOU going to doctors ga ne? are you sick? are you hurt?" He spreads a hand over the young man's forehead, pulling it away seconds after in despair. "CHHIIIIIIII—UH—OH! YOU'RE DYING GA NE! YOU'RE—"
"You're........normal. Waaaaaaait a second."
Slowly Galdino starts to realize, squinting eyes that look him head to toes. His worry fading to leave space for an annoyed frown. "You look healthy! TSC. That's just part of your devil fruit, isn't it? Waste—WASTE of time, ga ne." Face palming, the artist pull himself together. Fixing his own crooked bow tie and pushing his glasses over the nose. "Still—this summer isn't being kind to anyone. Even for someone with fire powers you have to look out for...overheating? Huh. I guess, ga ne. If that's even possible to you. I just don't want a ghost pulling my leg at night if anything happens to you, sir." From inside from one of his boxes that he carried along, he takes five popsicles. Offering them to him as his lips are twisted in anger. "That should do, ga ne. and —UNLIKE SOMEONE." He squints again, glaring at him. "Thooose aren't laced with poison or anything spicy."
((cough cough while on my dying breath, please stop making ace too dote-able i beg you cough cough i beg you))
the echo that was able to reverberate off the surface of the sea water through the shouting and chaos that was heading towards him immediately caught his attentions. ace only briefly mentioned doctors, scientists being interested in him but it had nothing to do with any illness, however galdino did not have the pleasure to be more privy to it all. his panic was understandable but nothing could replace the shock, mixed with the apparent confusion evident on the features of the fire fist himself when he saw the artist hurriedly running with boxes, first aid kits and everything else to make sure that ace won't haunt him as a firey spirit if something happened to him.
❝ wha ... ? no no, wait ! ❞ ace wanted to warn him but before he could mr. 3's hand already rested upon his forehead to check his temperature. it was hot, but not so hot that it burned. a heat close to palms hovering over a burning campfire, one could feel that his temperature by no means is human and seems like galdino got bitten by the heat instantly. ❝ geez, man i tried to tell ya' ❞ ace sighed, visibly amused by this whole situation. while he couldn't blame him, practically anyone would think he was sick or had a fever however it was neither of those things.
the visibly outraged @waxgentleman made a single brow raise with a lopsided smile hanging over ace's lip. his head tilted to the side and a heavy smack of his hand patted the artist on his back. ❝ c'mon don't be so boomed that i ain't a damsel in distress. ❞ the cunning, sly attitude almost mocking his words for a sheer joke followed by a loud laugher from depths of his lungs.
❝ i can't overheat, well i mean i technically would if the temperature was higher than two thousand degrees .... but then everyone would die so that ain't happenin'. so you don't gotta worry 'bout me huntin' you ... or maybe you should ? ❞ ace's grin grew wider, bare teeth showing the sharp canine - like fangs peeking from under his upper lip. it sounded a bit like an innocent threat, a scare to leave creeps running down the artist's spine for later and judging by the fire being lit within his eyes, ace was getting pretty excited by the sole idea of hunting someone down again.
