It's been a while, Masked Man. Have you been having any fun?

“Oh, of course my silvery haired friend.” The grin Killer flashed at the question was slightly forced, but who could tell behind the cover of his mask.
One too many scuffles that ended with a few drops of spilt blood, though the other side coming out far worse on every engagement. Storms which had lead to new islands full of adventure, and such interesting characters. Really those months away, skipping from place to place, simply floating on the freedom of the seas… They’d been difficult.
What balance existed between himself and Kidd was strained, his loyalty - something he’d always presented as unwavering - was brought into question time and time again. That confrontation had not ended in happy smiles, for either of them, the tension still present just beneath the surface. Kidd had thought it appropriate to strip Killer’s lodgings of ‘unpirate’ things, which Killer had done in kind with a lot more silence and the involvement of the ocean. In retrospect it was a rather large tiff for the usually so close friends, but something that was building for a time. Killer was loyal to Kidd after all, but that didn’t mean he lacked his own opinion on the actions of his captain, or that his captain lacked an opinion of his nature. Their relationship was on the mend, but if one knew what to look for it was obvious that there were still elements that were causing tension.
Following that everything else was rather more tame, exciting, interesting, but tame. His extensive plant collection had yet to be restored, but it would be. His few new friends were interesting and brought almost as much life to his existence as the plants had, there was nothing more he could desire than that. “There has been plenty of fun.”
