Man, it seemed like every time Marco had a conversation with anyone here he either found out they were some fictional character who was ridiculously well known to him, or they casually name-dropped one.
"Luke Skywalker? Luke Skywalker?! Star Wars is real in some universe too?!"
At her question, Marco hesitated a little. Right now, his first instincts were to reveal as little as possible about what he could do to anyone and everyone. Sure, a few people already knew - like Satori and the others who'd seen him demorph during the zombie fight. But he'd much rather let people know about his morphing only when he absolutely had to.
But. This was Princess Zelda. Princess freaking Zelda! He did have an advantage from having played a lot of the Zelda games: he already had a pretty good idea of who she was, and he knew she was trustworthy. And, she had just taken one big gamble on him.
Well. And she was hot, too. Okay, her also being Sheik was creepy. But she was still hot.
"I'm not sure how effective I'd be in a fight against him," Marco said. "Yeah, I've played some video games that featured him as an enemy. But in my world? There is no such thing as magic."
He paused again. Well, might as well dive into the deep end. "But I can fight. And, I'm pretty good for gathering intelligence. See, I've got this morphing ability - basically, I can turn into any animal, as long as I can touch it."
[[ooc: Marco may understand it (in his own...strange way). I do not, though XD. Possibly I am remembering this incident wrongly? But I remember him knowing the speed of light, and somehow using that to do a whole bunch of scary looking calculations to basically say that the Andalite home world was a FREAKING LONG WAY AWAY. Anyways, moral of the story? Marco would probably be a straight-A student if he bothered to pay attention. Since he doesn't, the results are...somewhat patchy. XD]]
