[Oh.]

[It's Ace.]

[Well... that explains everything.]

[Marco just closes his eyes and deeply searches mentally for the strings everyone seems bound by.]

[And gently ruffles Akito's hair.] Of course he will, eh? But he tends to be a little late even to his own parties, and gets lost on the way. So we'll just have to keep an eye on you for him for now.

I'm Marco, as you seem to have guessed by now. [Offers a handshake.] Where did you meet Ace? Since I'm assuming it wasn't our world, but correct me if I'm wrong.
