[At first as Ace listens, he's so uncomfortable. He's not happy with the idea that there might be some hero worship pushed onto him, that he might be a remnant of a fantasy that couldn't be fulfilled. Hell, maybe Smoker has some daddy issues. It's all unpleasant and stressful and he hates it. He hates that the man who fathered him is still fucking things up for him two deaths and a world away.]
